A thorough and clear understanding of God and his purposes for creation and his people, as revealed in the Bible, is the foundation for coming before God in prayer and knowing him. As we progress through the studies of the Old and New Testaments we will discover afresh the God of the Bible; God as he has revealed himself to his people, in his word. 'Maranatha' is two words in the Aramaic language which was translated to the Greek alphabet and used by Apostle Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians. The word 'Maranatha' only appears in the New Testament once. 'Maranatha' means 'Come O Lord'. If anyone does not love the Lord - a curse be on him. Come, O Lord. 1 Corinthians 16:22 While 'Maranatha' undoubtedly refers to the return of Jesus at the end of the age, I also like to consider the prayer that Jesus' presence would come now among his people.

Come Lord Jesus! I hope that God blesses you with a rich knowledge of him and his ways, through the studies of the Bible and through this book, Maranatha Bible Series Companion.
