The good shepherd — the real-life example

Image
My name is Dr. Ken Bailey. It was my privilege to teach New Testament for almost 40 years across the Middle East, mostly in Arabic, and the subject we have is a continuation of our series of studies on primary images for leadership in the New Testament. We looked first at servant, (...) and we have introduced the subject of the Good Shepherd. We saw that God is the Good Shepherd. Then we looked and saw that Jesus is the Good Shepherd. We are going to take a third text that focuses on Jesus as the Good Shepherd, and then move on to see two primary texts where the Good Shepherd is applied to early Christian leadership. The pastoral image Of all of the symbols in the New Testament about leadership, this certainly has prominence, and it has prominence throughout church history. Many churches refer to the leader of the congregation as the pastor . That's a pastoral image. It is another way of saying 'he is our shepherd'. And so the text that we need to look a...

Why do we build a throne for God - 2

Image
W hen Jesus was born, he received a gift set consisting of three items from the wise men who had travelled from the mythical Far East. The package contained the following:  · Gold  · Frankincense  · Myrrh ... These gifts came from the Magi... from the people who were far, separated from God and His covenant.. they openly acknowledged that a majestic Ruler – greater than any earthly power – had come into the world. Well then. Why are we building a throne today? Our reflection - our workout with Gd The next deep teaching comes from ap Paul who indeed understood the significance of the death — life dynamic.

Miért építünk trónt Istennek - 2

Image
A mikor Jézus megszületett három részből álló ajándék­csomagot kapott a mitikus Távol-Keletről érkező bölcsektől. A csomag a következőket tartalmazta:  · Arany  · Tömjén  · Mirrha ... ezek az ajándékok a mágusoktól származtak,... Istentől és az Ő szövetségétől távol álló emberektől, akik nyíltan elismerték, hogy egy fenséges Uralkodó – aki minden földi hatalomnál nagyobb – érkezett a földre. Nos. Miért építünk ma trónt? Visszajelzésünk – Isten előtti (lelki) gyakorlatunk A következő mélyreható tanítás Pál apostoltól származik, aki valóban megértette a „halál–élet” dinamika jelentőségét. Olvasd el figyelmesen: ez nem csupán Isten műve. De nem is csupán a te munkád. Ezért, szeretteim, ahogyan mindig is engedelmeskedtetek – nemcsak jelenlétemben, hanem még inkább távollétemben –, úgy munkálkodjatok is a saját üdvösségeteken félelemmel és reszketéssel, mert Isten az, aki bennetek munkálkodik, hogy akaratotokat és cselekedete...
