Die Opstanding en die Lewe
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Die Opstanding en die Lewe
In die evangelies lees ons van drie mense wat Jesus uit die dood opgewek het. [Daar mag meer wees, want Jesus sê vir Johannes die Doper se volgelinge dat hulle vir Johannes moet vertel dat dooies word opgewek – Matteus 11:4 – 5). In die eerste drie evangelies lees ons van die dogtertjie van Jaïrus en die seun van die weduwee van Nain wat opgewek word.
Gister, vandag en tot in alle ewigheid
We cannot aspire to him (God) in earnest until we have begun to be displeased with ourselves. For what man is not disposed to rest in himself? Calvyn

Daar is drie belangrike implikasies opgesluit in hierdie stelling oor Christus.
Ware priester, doeltreffende offer.
For (such is our innate pride) we always seem to ourselves just, and upright, and wise, and holy, until we are convinced, by clear evidence, of our injustices, vileness, folly and impurity. Convinced, however we are not, if we look to ourselves only, and not to the Lord also – Calvyn
Ware priester, doeltreffende offer.
Die hoëpriesterskap van Christus is ‘n tema wat ons gereeld in die Hebreër-brief kry. Verskeie aspekte hiervan word beklemtoon.
