重貼：以中東文化重看耶穌降生

聖誕節將近，再看福音書內關於耶穌降生的經文。記起年前曾將 Kenneth Bailey 在 Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes 一書內相關的討論作了撮要。重貼於下：

  1. The Story of Jesus’ Birth: Luke 2:1-20
  2. The Genealogy and Joseph the Just: Matthew 1:1-21
  3. The Savior, the Wise Men and the Vision of Isaiah: Matthew 2:1-12; Isaiah 60:1-7
  4. Herod’s Atrocities, Simeon and Anna: Matthew 2:13-18; Luke 2:22-36

天國與十字架

早前在Chris Wright講座想到的一個問題，其實也是我一直問的：到底Kingdom of God的信息跟十字架的關係是甚麼？我留意的現象是，近年越是著重Kingdom 信息的信徒和教會，對耶穌在十字架上所成就的到底是甚麼，就越見含糊。不是說我們是新以色列嗎？不是說天國已經近了，在我們中間嗎？那耶穌為什麼還要走上十字架？

誰不知，這不只是我的問題，喜見TGC 的Justin Taylor有一篇短文，提到Greg Gilbert的新書和他在T4G的錄音。

另外，Scot McKnight在CT關於耶穌和保羅的文章，其實也是問同樣的問題。（Michael Bird在IBR對N.T. Wright的回應也是一例）

Verse of the Day

    For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11, ESV)
