...17:6-14 and Luke 15:17-24 Rev. Dr. Zina Jacque August 29, 2010 Beloved of God, do you know, have you ever wondered what happened on the night you were born. My family story holds that somewhere around the end of August in 1956 Dr. E.L.C. Broomes told my Mother not to get her hopes too high. After all, this was her fifth pregnancy, and though she had finally moved beyond the 30 week mark, she still had many weeks to go and she should not get her hopes too high. There was no guarantee this baby would make it. But then, on the evening of October 30th, sometime after dinner, something within my mother moved, something within her said, it is time and all the world stood still for my parents, all of the world held its breath. I do not know what thoughts ran through my mother’s mind or my father’s heart in those hours before I was born; but I know once I had arrived, once they held me in their arms, they began to rejoice. Nancy Tillman, in her book On the Night You Were Born, gives voice to the rhythm of words that might have been spoken on night you and I were born:1 On the night you were born the moon smiled with wonder. The stars peeked in to see you, all safe and tucked under And the night wind whispered and called you by name And said with a sigh, life will never be the same So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain They too whispered the sound of your wonderful name. Your name sailed past houses, high on the breeze Over oceans and mountains and all through the trees . . ....

...High Christology in the Gospel of John. What evidence exists in the Gospel of John to support Ernst Käsemann’s insight that the Johannine Jesus is like a “god striding over the earth”? John presents a very different Jesus compared to the synoptic gospels. It is clear that for John Jesus has many complex elements to his personality and without all of these the picture is not complete. The above quote by Käsemann suggests that in the gospel of John Jesus’ divinity is definite and his presence is felt on the entire world through his words and actions. This allows for the human Jesus but implies the divine Jesus is imperative. The divinity of Jesus Christ is something that is very apparent in the gospel of John. Käsemann’s quote describes Jesus as a ‘God’, which offers an immediate insight into the ‘high Christology’ of Jesus in the gospel of John. The divine Jesus far outweighs the human Jesus. From the introduction of John’s gospel the divinity of Jesus Christ is immediately addressed when John writes ‘In the Beginning..,’ implying that Jesus was there with God at the start of creation. ‘Where the other gospels’ tell us about the human origins of Jesus, John speaks about his divine origin,’ which is with God in heaven, ‘Before all things the word was.’ The fourth gospel paints Jesus as a picture of total control who has descended from heaven to perform his duties to reveal God to humanity. This is evident in the final words of Jesus Christ ‘It is finished’ , implying...

...Melchizedek? Genesis 14:18 The question of “who was Melchizedek?” is a mystery which has never fully been answered or solved. We do know that Genesis 14:18 says that “Melchizedek was king of Salem” and “was the priest of God Most High.” Does this verse give enough information to determine just who he was; after all there is no genealogy for him. Various theories suggest who Melchizedek may have been, and all accounts are relatively similar. We will concentrate on three different commentaries to obtain a better understanding of the person of Melchizedek. Matthew Henry’s Commentary starts like most of the other descriptions, making reference to Genesis 14:18, “He was king of Salem and priest of the most high God”. Henry’s commentary lists some of the traditional beliefs of who Melchizedek may have been. He says the rabbinical writers conclude that Melchizedek was Shem the son of Noah. He asks the question, if this is actually Shem, why should his name be changed? And how came he to settle in Canaan? It is not hard to believe that God would change the name of a person, because we see this happening quite often in Scripture e.g., Abram to Abraham; Jacob to Israel. Henry goes on to write, “Many Christian writers have thought that this was an appearance of the Son of God himself,” “appearing to him as a righteous king, owning a righteous cause, and giving peace.” The third belief is what Henry describes as “The most commonly received opinion” about him: “Melchizedek was a Canaanitish...

...Dr. David D. Ireland, Phd. “The Kneeling Warrior”. Lake Mary: Charisma, 2013 Introduction The very Son of God spent many entire nights praying in order to fulfill His ministry. It took Him three arduous hours in Gethsemane to find strength to face the Cross. “He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears” (Heb. 5:7). We, on the other hand, have mastered the art of one-liners in prayer, and think if we give God a two-hour service once a week we’re fairly spiritual. “Easy does it” might be good advice in a few situations, but for most of life, including prayer, easy doesn’t do it. Anyone long associated with the Church of this century, especially in America, knows that our problems do not result from a lack of information or material strength. If we fail in achieving what God asks from us as we run our race, it will be a failure of heart and spirit. I believe our prayers do more than simply motivate the Father to action. They actually release the power of the Holy Spirit from us to accomplish things in the earth realm. In his book, “The Kneeling Warrior,” Dr. David D. Ireland sheds much light on the importance of persistence in prayer and intercession. He takes the time to help us understand that there is literal power from the Holy Spirit which can be released from us is absolute. The power of God that brings life, healing and wholeness to the earth flows out from us---the Church. Content Summary The Bible talks about being watchful in various...

Treatment of all offerings The passages in Leviticus 21:1 – 22:16 are concerned with the purity and holiness of the priests and the preparation and consumption of sacred sacrifices. These laws were dictated by God through Moses and are intended for Aaron and his decedents. The priests come from the tribe of Levi; the family of Aaron. They come at a time when the Israelites have been lead out of Egypt by Moses and had settled at Mount Sinai before crossing over to the land promised to their ancestors. God has taken this time to establish many laws and commandments covering many areas of everyday life, human interaction, and what is considered just and fair. In this section of Leviticus, we learn of the laws governing priestly functions and sacred sacrifices. This is a key area of concern for God because the priests are the only people with direct interaction with God and are the spiritual leaders of Israel. They serve as mediators for the people and are held to a higher standard than the common people. The holiness of God establishes Him to be...

...peaceful? We live in a world that has a very real need for policemen, soldiers, judges, and prisons. Every car is equipped with locks on the doors. Homes are built so that doors and windows can be locked. All the evidence points to the unmistakable fact that we live in a world that has been spoiled and polluted and defiled by SIN. Where and when did sin ORIGINATE (see Chapter 1 for the meaning of the words "origin" and "originate")? Where did sin first begin? When did sin first begin? When did sin first begin on planet earth? Who was the first sinner? Was there ever a time when there was no sin? Today God’s sinful creatures (men and angels) are at war with God. They rebel against God, disobey God, dishonor God, and turn aside from God’s ways. Was there ever a time when God’s creatures were in perfect HARMONY with God, and, enjoying perfect FELLOWSHIP with Him? How did sin first originate? Where did it all begin? Complete the following sentence by circling the correct answer: SIN FIRST BEGAN . . . a. With Eve who ate the forbidden fruit. b. With Adam who ate the forbidden fruit. c. With Satan who deceived Eve in the garden of Eden. d. With Cain, who murdered his brother Abel. The correct answer is neither a, b, c, nor d! Sin began before any of these events took place. The origin of sin took place even before Adam and Eve were created (Genesis. 1:26-27). The beginning of sin took place prior to the creation of the heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1). Remember...

...Can one be moral and not believe in God? Student’s Name Title of Course Instructor’s Name Date Can one be moral and not believe in God? The question as to whether one can have moral values and still believe there is no God is seemingly a puzzling query. In essence, it is proficient to commence with defining what moral values are. Morals are simply defined as the principles of wrong and right behaviors. An individual with high moral values knows the right things, and literally does and says the right things at the right time, with the right person, and utilizing the right materials. Believing in God or spiritual being is when an individual devotes their commitment to God or supernatural being in faith, expressions, worship, and conscientiousness. When one believes in God or a spiritual being, such could potentially play a great role on their moral behaviors. On the other hand, many people suppose that if one does not believe in a spiritual being or God, it is very hard for them to have moral values. However, there are also other people that suppose that having moral values do not necessarily require one to believe in God or spiritual beings[1]. What’s more, there also other people that suppose that believing in God or spiritual beings is not necessarily required for one to have moral values, but all they require is to belief in oneself, practice good ethics, as well as the knowledge of knowing and distinguishing the...

... Relationship with the Divine Divine is one of the many names that various religions use for the name of God. In the Western world the term used for the Divine is God. Divine as he is called is just, compassionate, infinite in virtues and pure. In describing the relationship with the Divine, according to the Western culture that believes in one God, Creator of all things, ruler over everything. Other traditions that believe in one God: the Yoruba, Christians and Muslims. Those believing in more than one God are the Wicca; they worship both gods and goddesses. When we talk about the different traditions and their relationship with the Divine we talk of spending time in prayer, reading and studying of the Bible, Quran, or whatever religions use to study, rituals and a set of morals and beliefs to live everyday life. All religions have some type of prayer time, for example with some Christians they have a basic prayer that give praise, honor and glory to the most High God and Savior, Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, healing, prosperity, etc. Roman Catholics pray to their God and the Virgin Mary. Spending time with other believers and reading of the Bible with rituals being the way that humans can be sure they are living their lives pleasing to the God of their understanding. Falun Gong, closely related to traditional Chinese religions practice a series of five physical exercises believing they gain health and strength...

...Vincent D Dent BIB-107 11/15/2015 Dr.Valerie De La Torre The Fulfillment of God’s Covenants in The New Testament After the fall of mankind into disobedience and sin, God made the decision to deal with mankind and the problem of rebellion by establishing contracts or agreements between Himself and the people in order to communicate with and redeem his greatest creation, humanity. As we read through and study the Bible we can see that God is faithful in keeping His promises that he gave to the nation of Israel in the Old Testament having made contracts with Abraham and David and it would appear that Abrahamic and the Davidic Covenants are the mainstays leading up to the new covenant with Jesus Christ being the new “high priest” of the covenant. Through study of the scriptures one can conclude that Jesus Christ came to fulfill the requirements of the covenants made with the patriarch Abraham and His appointed King David, and Jesus's sacrifice on the cross met the requirements of the law, thus the old covenants are fulfilled in the New Testament. The beginning of the fulfillment of covenant begins with the Gospels. In the Gospels we can begin to see clearly the evidence that God watches over His word to perform it where His promises are concerned towards and for His people. In the Gospel of Luke Jesus brings forth scripture that was found in the book of Isaiah which compasses promises being made to the Jews who were returning out of captivity and...

...Misty M. Hart BIBL 323 – B03 Professor C. Harry Harriss October 12, 2015 Introduction In the gospel of John there are seven statements that are recorded known as the “I am… ” statements. The words “I AM”, I think, can be considered two of the most powerful words and the reason I say this is because depending on what is said after those words can determine who the person is or isn’t that is speaking these words. When Jesus spoke these words about 2,000 years ago they had some strong meaning and usually they upset a lot of people in those days. Jesus was not just an ordinary man speaking these words, He was God. This is how Jesus affirmed His deity by applying Himself to the statements of Jehovah which was “I am that I am” in the Old Testament (Exod. 3:14-15; John 4:26; 18:5-6). The Jews hated Him because by using these words, Jesus was claiming to be equal to the God of the Old Testament and they did not agree with that. I Am Paper Out of those seven “I AM” statements recorded in John I would like to discuss the one found in John Chapter 14. In this chapter Jesus tells His disciples that, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 NLT). When Jesus had spoken this He was in the upper room with His disciples and it was just after Passover service. Jesus knew where He was going to be heading, so He was preparing His disciples for the things that lied ahead and His departure. His disciples had been with Him for over...

...What Can Be Discerned about Jesus from His Deeds and Words Proclaiming the Kingdom of God 3 IV. What Can Be Discerned about Jesus from His Words Concerning Himself… 3 V. Hosea and “the Son of the Living God” in Mattew 16:16b 3 VI. Jesus as Messiah in the Gospel of Luke 3 VII. Narrative Christology and the SON OF MAN: What the Marken Jesus says instead 3 VIII. Conclusion 3 IX. Reference 4 I. The meaning of Christology The Greek for “Messiah” is Christos, whence “Christ”. So, “christology” would discuss how Jesus came to be called the Messiah or Christ and what was meant by that designation. In a broader sense, “christology” discusses any evaluation of Jesus in respect to who he was and the role he played in the divine plan. Scholars distinguish different kinds of Christology. “Low christology” covers the evaluation of him in terms that do not necessarily include divinity, e.g. Messiah, Rabbi, Prophet, High Priest, Savior, Master. “High christology” covers the evaluation of Jesus in terms that include an aspect of divinity, e.g. Lord, Son of God, God. There are a wide range of conceivable possibilities in understanding the degree or manner of Jesus’ divinity. As to degree, theoretically Jesus could be seen as divine but as lesser than, e.g. angels who were known in the OT as “sons of God”; or Jesus could be deemed equal in divinity to “the one true God” who sent him. As to manner,...

...Prayer: The Timeless Secret of High-Impact Leaders Book Critique Submitted by: Shannon J. Cockrell Student ID: L23353600 Submitted to: Dr. Jim O'Neill EVAN 670 Liberty Theological Seminary January 19, 2015 INTRODUCTION “Much prayer equals much power”, is a quote I’ve heard most my Christian adult life. Dr. Earley asks a thought-provoking question, “How would you rate your prayers?” (p.111) Truth be told, I wasn’t very powerful. Sure I prayed in the morning and at night, but I wasn’t seeing the results I saw that prayer brought about in the Scriptures. Prayer: The Timeless Secret Of High-Impact Leaders by Dr. Dave Earley is a life-transforming book. Earley has written a treatise on prayer that will be a classic for years to come. In this brief critique/review I will give an overview, summary of the chapters, critique, and application. SUMMARY “Leadership is influence…Prayer influences men by influencing God to influence them.” (Earley, x). Wow. What a powerful summary of his own book that Earlely gives us. This book is about influence and how prayer can better enable and position us to be better influences in the world. To lead better, we must pray better. Earley uses “Nine Prayer Disciplines of High-Impact Spiritual Leaders” to serve as the framework of his book. In chapter 1, entitled Value the Power of Prayer, Earley elaborates on the dynamic power that is found in prayer. Earley says, “If you want to maximize your impact, prioritize your...

...“Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” 34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" 35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month.37 For nothing is impossible with God." 38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." (Luke 19: 30-38) This conversation between the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary in Luke chapter twelve provides an insight into the devotion Mary has to serving God. This passage is controversial to non-Catholics and is a beloved by all Christians for its proclamation of our savior, Jesus Christ. Through a full analysis of the Mary’s devotion, applying the situation to modern day, and incorporating the commitment and devotion shown into our daily lives, we can further strengthen our relationship with God. Mary was a young girl, only about 12 or 13 years old when the Angel Gabriel was sent from God to deliver a message. She had recently become engaged...
