I love the play on words where the people of Nazareth are offended by Jesus: who has "mighty works done by his hands" (referring to miracles). And yet, any carpenter works by his hands. I think it's evident that Joseph, the adopted father of Jesus, was relatively prosperous. He could afford a donkey to take Mary to Bethlehem. He has an occupation that allows him to flee to Egypt when the life of the infant is threatened. Ironically, Jesus' ministry begins on a donkey going to Bethlehem and ends on a donkey going into Jerusalem.

Freedom for what? As Luther says, we are saved and forgiven by Christ’s death and resurrection with a telos/goal/aim in mind: “so that I may may be His own (i.e., Christ's) and live under Him in His kingdom and serve Him (i.e. obey, worship, love, offer right sacrifices to Him) in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness.” So. Free from the enslaving power of sin to live in accord with the everlasting, perfect will and law of our King: Christ. Which is basically Luther drawing on God’s words to Pharaoh through Moses and applying them to Jesus: “Let my people go that they may serve me.”

Thank you! I've been needing this as a defense against the "cooperate" brethren. Not sure if Robert Capon said this but "the layers of an onion represent our sin and the Holy Spirit is the one doing the pulling." Only God searches the heart, not man.

Bad circumstances do hide the 🛟God who is for us. The rescue mission is hidden. But we are too focused on the storm. That’s our problem. We missed the whole point because God was trying to save us.

Awesome 🤩

Christ was extremely specific for a reason

Amen amen.

God bless you, We have one teacher who uses his children to edify his children

It was nt the alcohol type of wine, Isa PBUH (Jesus pbuh is not.his real name and Christmas (sun god)is not.his birthday) did miracles at the time in relation to what was happening around him so people can relate.and believe ...

Thankyou

Seems that Jews say that the law of Moses is the rock of the law. So Peter being the rock of church means build church on the rock of the law. The law is the words of god so the word (law/rock) was with god at beginning of genesis.

9:51 the marshmallow man is an awesome comparison to where legalism and boasting can lead. It’s not just “haha he’s a big marshmallow.” In the movie the stay puff man was the figure chosen by the ghostbusters in their own minds to destroy them. They were forced to make the choice By Hittite or Sumerian demon too in case you forgot (Gozer). Perhaps not everyone nerds out on ghostbusters lore…..

Shepherd Boy: Why did he turn the water into wine? Old Rabbi: To fill every jar with wine. Shepherd Boy: Why did he fill every jar with wine? Old Rabbi: To fulfill the sign spoken through the prophet Jeremiah, "Say to the people, 'Every jar will be filled with wine'."

Thank you! We always need to be reminded that Jesus is our strength, shelter, and a mighty fortress.

The woman at the well was married five times, but not in this lifetime. Jesus was speaking of her past lives, reincarnation. We reincarnate. We received "the veil" and do not remember our past lives, but Jesus knew her soul before it was put in the the body, from before she was born. We all have past lives but do not remember. It's our soul's journey.

WRONG. U made it 0.48sec before the reason people are leaving church & anything in the Book, cause u try to BS people with this "worldview". Water into wine is a METAPHOR. Women break their water sack that protects the baby. A 1st born child ... A "virgin" birth will make her bleed. Wine is blood. Holy Grail her womb. Church fathers & pope & bishops & pasters have lost ALL credibility . Especially in the genetic age where your lies are on full display.

The short answer is, "No." The long answer is, "No, of course it's not. Why would you think it is? There's nothing in the text about any kind of ritual or ceremony. It's teaching about the same thing as the Lord's Supper is about, but it's not about the Lord's Supper."

God brought all Israel out of Egypt through the Red Sea where He buried Israel's sin and brought them to Kadesh Barnea where the promise was before them. Believe and occupy it. God has brough by faith those who by the faithfulness of Christ and His shed blood to the Christian Kadesh Barnea where, by faith, we occupy the free Gift of God forever.

I think it's worth pointing out that, Lamentations is an orchestral piece having 5 chapters, the first 2 chapters have 22 verses each which begin consecutively with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Chapter 3, the one Erick does a wonderful job reviewing, is the musical highlight expressing hope and having 66 verses being bundled three verses to a repeating Hebrew letter. Chapter 4 has 22 verses with the same format as chapters 1 and 2. Chapter 5 is the finale, a chapter of chaos where foreigners rule Jerusalem, with 22 verses but without the organization of previous chapters. Even so, Jeremiah ends chapter 5 with hope.

You are missed “Dad Rod”.

Just a thought: God can only be found in the suffering of the cross can also refer to Jesus telling us to take up our cross and follow him. A book that illustrates this well is "Hinds Feet on High Places" in which the one on a spiritual journey is given Sorrow and Suffering as companions. It is when she holds their hands tightly she has the strength to get through the most difficult parts of her journey. Having a relationship with God requires continual learning and experiencing and we, as humans don't know how far we can go with this without being pushed by circumstances. A very wise woman has said: We enjoy the good times, but we grow through the hard times. And those are the times we really learn what God is like and experience His faithfulness and wisdom and compassion in ways good times can't teach us.

The Bible supports multiple theologies. Everyone gets to be right.

Finding God in the Darkness was such a special and helpful book for me. Thanks for this conversation on the Theology of the Cross

Amen!

So good! ❤

i've never heard of this "theology of glory." it sounds really dumb though.

The theology of glory tends almost inevitably to lead back to living the law. The theology of the cross keeps us grounded in grace.

To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

We are such wicked evil sinners that without suffering, we would never ever turn to God in repentance for help and salvation

The theology of the cross by Daniel Deutschlander

I hate these short segments.

Thank you so much Pastor. I read the whole chapter last night before sleep. ❤

Thanks man.. ones like you are scanty out here, im truly grateful to you and 1517. Its uncanny that so few want to hear the good news in its pure form.. its only form. Your doing your work well, please continue.

When Jeremiah said: "My hope is perished from the LORD" , he had reached his lowest point he saw his sins as black as they really are and was convinced that he was lost, cut off from God, dammed. And this is what the true depths of spiritual depression really are. We see ourselves as the lost and condemned, unworthy worthless sinners that we really are. And we are constrained to confess with Peter: "Depart from me; FOR I AM A SINFUL MAN, O Lord." (Luke 5:8) And with Isaiah Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips" (Isaiah 6:5) And with David "I am a worm, and no man ..." (Psalm 22:6) And with Job we must say at last: "I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes" (Job 42:6) Remember O Christian, that when we are under heavy affliction, as was Jeremiah along with the entire nation, we are acutely reminded of our own sins. Recall the what the widow of Zarephath said, who tended to Elijah, when her son died? "What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call MY SIN TO REMEMBRANCE ...?" (1 Kings 17:18) And this feeling of complete undoing and guilt before God, we feel also, when grievous disaster suddenly strikes. "Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. (Ezekiel 36:31) But now the Gospel came back to Jeremiah ... he remembered that Christ would come into the world to bear all his sins away: "This I recall to my mind, therefore have I HOPE. It is of the LORD'S MERCIES that we are not consumed, because his COMPASSIONS fail not. They are new every morning [ie. Continually] Great is THY Faithfulness. The LORD [Jesus] is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him." (Lamentations 3:21-24; Ephesians 2:8, 9) It is due to Christ and Christ alone that Jeremiah had HOPE. And it is due to Christ alone that we too have HOPE, namely through Faith in Christ delivered to be Crucified for our sins and Raised from the dead on account of our Justification. (Romans 4:25) And when the sure HOPE of the Gospel breaks through upon us to our own souls we say with Zephaniah: "For then will I turn to the people a pure language [The Gospel], that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent ... In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me ..." (Zephaniah 3:9, 11) In Christ Jesus our sins have been taken away, the FIERCE ANGER of the LORD has been TURNED AWAY (Psalm 85:2, 3) and we have been cleansed of all our sin (Psalm 51:2, 7; John 13:8, 10; 1John 1:9).

... However, most scholars of ancient history of the same general geographic areas maintain that story of Exodus as depicted in the OT is not historically true. And that a historical Moses, as represented in the Pentateuch, never existed.

This is really well done. I hope you do not mind if I pull from this a little during out bible studies. There are a lot of 'yes buts' and quoting James.

Thanks Chad. A Jewish believer named Arnold Fruchtenbaum explained the Jewish tradition you referenced, that there were miracles only the Messiah could perform: raising someone from the dead on the fourth day and healing someone born blind. Jesus had proven He is the Messiah, that's why He waited two days.

My sincere condolences to & your Family. May God continue to guide, love & keep all of you in his care. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

You cannot get things from secondhand revelation from other people. You must quiet yourself before the Lord until you hear his voice directly. This takes away any confusion on any level. When we practice what we do not understand, we live a lie and then the truth is not in us, only a pretender.

And MUST a christian vote?

So is a christain pastor allowed to become a polatition?

Branscomb was right %100. What a stretch. NONE of the original hearers had accordance software or logos software to come up with this guys assumptions. Why can't you just try to exposit what this meant to the disciples and to the original hearers? NO NEED to try and find Yahweh here. Jesus is clearly GOD"S SON in the gospel of Mark. Why not stick to what Mark was trying to prove? That Jesus is God's son (messiah), the King of Israel, BUT NOT Yahweh! Yahweh's Son! Divinely enabled and empowered to do great works!

Love the Keller quotes. So poignant to the overall message.

Jesus calming the storm was a fulfillment of Psalm 107. It was to show that he is God.

What's that loud shout I hear from the Christian Zionists/ Dispensationalists? Replacement Theology. This is so very helpful to expose the false Dispensationalist teaching on Physical Israel.

Please help me God.

Love this brother keep up the good work! Praise the God of hosts!

Has this devotional been an encouragement for me today? Yes, it has! Thank you. Thank you for the reminder of 1 Peter 3:15 - “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect”. (NIV translation) The Amplified Bible translation helps give us a deeper understanding of this passage: “But in your hearts set Christ apart [as holy-acknowledging Him, giving Him first place in your lives] as Lord. Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect.” While the 2 Corinthians 5 passage, written by Paul, was initially addressed to the Corinthian people, it is just as relevant to each one of us today. Each of us who is a believer in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour has the privilege, the opportunity - indeed the responsibility - to share the Good News of God’s love with those around us, to encourage them in their faith, and to persuade them to come to a greater and deeper trust and faith in God. It is not just for pastors to share the good news of the gospel. It is for each of us as well!
