Each of us looks at the world, and we make sense of it, through our own ‘eyes’. This is known as a worldview. John and his intended readers had worldviews that differed from ours.

Today we continue our journey into the book of the Revelation to John for the Seven Churches. It is important that we always keep in mind that the authors of books of the Bible (which were letters, or histories, or poetry etc.) had a particular audience, set or concerns and objectives in mind. We are not the primary audience. This does not mean that there is no value for us - quite the opposite! It is like listening to a wise person offering sage advice to someone else. We can learn so much my carefully listening in! Have you got any questions or feedback for us? Please do make contact!

Any careful reader of New Testament texts will quickly notice how important the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament) are in the New Testament. They form the backdrop of many of the ideas, moral commitments, religious beliefs, and at times doctrinal convictions that are expressed by authors of New Testament texts. This is not surprising since it was the Bible that they used (as members of the Hebrew and early Messianic faith). Today we look at references to the Old Testament in Revelation.

It is important that we understand our Christian history and identity - it is important so that we know what has happened before, but also so that we don’t make the mistake of thinking that everything has remained the same.

I frequently loose perspective. It is a challenge to keep my eyes fixed on Christ and my actions directed towards others. Thankfully, God is gracious and forgiving. And, thankfully, God allows us to partner in the work of salvation. Today we discuss the notion of manny for all and consider how and why every person - even the most undesirable or unlikeable person - matters. Have you got any questions or feedback for us?

This episode is being released on Christmas Day 2020. Alan and I want to wish all of our listeners a blessed Christmas. It is very apt that we focus on the theme ‘The life that Christ brings’ today. I was inspired by this quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

“When God chooses Mary as the means when God himself wants to come into the world in the manger of Bethlehem, this is not an idyllic family affair. It is instead the beginning of a complete reversal, a new ordering of all things on this earth. If we want to participate in this Advent and Christmas event, we cannot simply sit there like spectators in a theater and enjoy all the friendly pictures. Rather, we must join in the action that is taking place and be drawn into this reversal of all things ourselves. Here we too must act on the stage, for here the spectator is always a person acting in the drama. We cannot remove ourselves from the action. With whom, then, are we acting? Pious shepherds who are on their knees? Kings who bring their gifts? What is going on here, where Mary becomes the mother of God, where God comes into the world in the lowliness of the manger? World judgment and world redemption—that is what’s happening here. And it is the Christ child in the manger himself who holds world judgment and world redemption. He pushes back the high and mighty; he overturns the thrones of the powerful; he humbles the haughty; his arm exercises power over all the high and mighty; he lifts what is lowly, and makes it great and glorious in his mercy.”

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God Is In the Manger

In today’s episode we continue to focus on the ways in which God achieves God’s will for love, life, and blessing for all of creation and humanity. We do so by focusing on Mary. God chooses a young, poor, unwed woman - the lowest and least powerful of her time - to bring Jesus into the world. God can use any of us, just where we are!

Regular listeners may have noticed that this episode is a day or two late! My apologies for that! It is Masters and Doctoral submission ‘season’ and I have a number of students completing and submitting their research! So things have been a little hectic! Well, back to today! In this episode we turn from the Old Testament to begin our journey into the books of the New Testament! We are about half way through the entire series, and today we touch base with our framing hermeneutic lens (the way in which we are reading the texts), and focus on the notions of ‘Manna and Mercy’, and the context of Jesus and the authors of the New Testament writings.
