Proper Context

We discussed yesterday that it’s important to consider the context of scripture. Who is speaking? To whom is it being said? What has preceded it and what follows? This brings richer meaning to the words and keeps us from twisting the truth to suit our desires. In Luke 12:1-7 Jesus and Hid disciples are being swamped by people wanting to see this spectacle of miracles, and perhaps a King who will lead them to overcome their oppressors. Perhaps, in the exhilaration of the moment his disciples were considering the greatness of the earthly possibilities, and Jesus brings God’s view point to the forefront. We’re going to continue, and hopefully reveal the context of the Teacher’s lessons. V8 “Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. 9 But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God. 10 “And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes...

Here and Now

We started off with our focus on the context of scripture bringing light and truth to our interpretation. Most of what we've discovered so far in Luke 12 has to do with comparing temporal things with the eternal. Here is where the two meet. Luke 12 35 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. 38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and[d] not allowed his house to be broken into. 40 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is ...

Separate But Not Equal

Ezra 8:15 "Now I gathered them by the river that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. and I looked among the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there. " Jacob, who was later renamed Israel, by God had twelve sons, who became the 12 tribes of Israel, the nation. Levi was Jacob’s third son. From Levi’s descendants, Aaron and his 2 sons were the bloodline that was chosen and sanctified, or set apart by God to be priests and head of the temple worship and sacrifice. They ministered to the people, and represented this same people to God in their sacrifices and offerings. Numbers 8.18-19 "I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the children of Israel. 19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the work for the children of Israel in the tabernacle of meeting (Temple), and to make atonement for the children of Isra...
