- In the tiny village of Nazareth, no bigger than three football fields, Jesus delivered a sermon that almost got him killed. These people knew him better than anyone; so what made them so infuriated? Why was Galilee a hotbed of Jewish unrest? What connections are there between the text Jesus preached on (Isaiah 61) and the Dead Sea Scrolls? How was this incident in Nazareth both a backward look at the lives of OT prophets and a forward look at his crucifixion? Join @chadbird1517 in this week’s edition of Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes as he explores Luke 4:16-30.
Thank You Prof 🙏, God bless
4 minutes in and your explanation of the geography, already has me hooked. Dr. M.S. Heiser led me to your works, im excited to view and read more. Very few teachers give these type visuals 👍
Brother- a couple weeks behind, I'm doing "catch-up" in the office today. Thanks, as always. It is so wonderful to get the perspective of, not only the size of Jesus' hometown, but that within that context, the upheaval at His words consumed all his neighbors. God's peace to you.
Thank you for sharing these straight words. They satisfy. They go out the way that was/is intended. High Fidelity!
Thank you
What struck me as fascinating about that synagogue outline is its similarity to the liturgy we use today in the Divine Service. We begin with the Introit, which is a singing of a Psalm. Instead of just an Old Testament reading, of course, we added an Epistle and Gospel reading. Instead of the confession of the Shema, we confess the Apostles' or Nicene Creed. Then like in the synagogue, there is a sermon. We have the Prayer of the Church. Then we end the Divine Service with the benediction from Numbers 6:24-26.
If there was ever an argument for liturgical worship that's would be it.
Yes, excellent and accurate observations. And it's really no surprise. The earliest Christians were almost all Jewish. As they began to worship apart from the synagogue, they took the basic synagogue liturgy and added Christian elements to it. This become the foundation upon which the historic liturgy of the church was based.
there is a movie-series scene for this specific sermon of the Lord Jesus in the chosen. ❤
