Who Is This? II

Ok, so it is not "tomorrow." Every have a week implode on you? Well, it seems to be a regular occurrence around here. Let's see: taxes, papers to write, work, meetings...and thus my "tomorrow" was stretched...but I'm back. So here goes with the #2 list of "Who is this...Jesus"...who is illustrated in every book of the Bible?

-In the Song of Solomon, He is the loving bridegroom.
-In Isaiah, He is the prince of peace.
-In Jeremiah, He is the righteous branch.
-In Lamentations, He is our weeping prophet.
-In Ezekiel, He is the wonderful four-faced man.
-In Daniel, He is the forth man in life's "fiery furnace."
-In Hosea, He is the faithful husband, forever married to the backslider.
-In Joel, He is the baptizer with the Holy Ghost and fire.
-In Amos, He is our burden-bearer.
-In Obadiah, He is the mighty to save.
-In Jonah, He is our great foreign missionary.
-In Micah, He is the messenger of beautiful feet.
-In Nahum, He is the avenger of God's elect.
-In Habakkuk, he is God's evangelist, crying, "revive thy work in the midst of the years."
-In Zephaniah, He is our Saviour.
-In Haggai, He is the restorer of God's lost heritage.
-In Zechariah, He is the fountain opened up in the house of David for sin and uncleanness.
-In Malachi, He is the Sun of Righteousness, rising with healing in His wings.

So...next time (maybe tomorrow, maybe ???), I will continue into the New Testament.
