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

 

Gister, vandag en tot in alle ewigheid

Jesus Christus is gister en vandag dieselfde en tot in ewigheid (Hebreërs 13:8)

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.

Die kerk (6)

The invisible and incomprehensible essence of God, to a certain extent, is made visible in his works. It is plain that the Lord has furnished every man with abundant proofs of his wisdom – Calvyn

 

Die kerk (6)

Ben Witherington III skryf ‘n artikel oor die anti-kerk retoriek wat vandag so algemeen is. Ons stel vandag graag die kerk teenoor Jesus of die kerk as instelling teenoor organiese modelle – huiskerke, ens. So kry ons die “ek is geestelik, maar nie godsdienstig nie” beweging of “ek het Jesus, maar nie die kerk lief beweging.”
