  • Jesus' Cry of Dereliction: Why the Father Did Not Turn Against Or
    Jesus’ Cry of Dereliction: Why the Father Did Not Turn Against or Away from the Son Mako A. Nagasawa Last modified: February 1, 2018 Introduction: John Stott’s The Cross of Christ In his now-classic book, The Cross of Christ , John R.W. Stott presents a sweeping and impressive defense of penal substitutionary atonement. He gives a thoughtful exposition of Jesus’ ‘cry of dereliction’ from the cross, his quotation of Psalm 22:1, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ 1 Stott considers three other interpretive options before he gives his own. First, Stott notes, some have suggested that Jesus’ cry was one of disbelief and anger, even despair. Stott rightly rejects this option. It attributes unbelief to Jesus. Interestingly, since this suggestion shares with penal substitution the view that the Father did in fact forsake his Son Jesus, Stott does not explore what it attributes to God the Father . Second, others have interpreted Jesus’ cry as one of loneliness. In this view, Jesus felt forsaken by God in the sense of not being able to sense his presence, and for some reason, was not able to name God his intimate ‘Father,’ but could only name him more distantly and impersonally as ‘God.’ Stott points out that the problem with this view is that it ignores the original meaning of Psalm 22:1: ‘Yet there seems to be an insuperable difficulty [in that] the words of Psalm 22:1 express an experience of being , and not just feeling , God-forsaken.’ 2 Maintaining continuity of the Psalm’s original meaning is important as a criterion of what Jesus meant when he quoted it, which makes it all the more strange that Stott ignores that original meaning when he advocates the penal substitution view.

  • Sermon Series on Exodus
    Dr. Rodney Ashlock Chair, Department of Bible, Missions and MInistry Abilene Christian University [email protected] Preaching from the Book of Exodus Exodus in Outline From a preaching perspective it might be helpful to divide the book into two parts: Exodus 1:1-19:1—From Egypt to Sinai Exodus 19:2-40:38—Encamped at Sinai Narrative action dominates the first section of the book with such memorable scenes as Moses and the burning bush, the plagues and the crossing of the Sea moving the action forward at break-neck speed. Israel begins in Egypt but will wind up at the foot of the mountain of God at the beginning of chapter 19. In between Egypt and the Mountain lies the wilderness. Israel will encounter the desert and the challenges it brings. Can Israel learn to trust God even in the dire conditions of the desert? The second section of the book takes on a completely different tenor and pace as the people of Israel settle in for a long stay (roughly a year) in the wilderness of Sinai and at the foot of the mountain. Hear both preacher and the congregation will encounter meticulous instructions and laws pertaining to life with a Holy God and with each other. Highlighting this section are such important pieces of scripture as the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20), instructions for (25-31) and the completion of the Tabernacle and Priestly garments (35-40) and the story of the Golden Calf (32). As preachers of the word of God we will want to pay attention to the shifts in scenery and the different types of genres in these sections.

Can you tell us about the first time you met Doctor King? 00:00:12:00 XERNONA CLAYTON: I met Doctor King in- I don’t remember the years, but, you know, early on in his career he was a Baptist minister who attended the Baptist conventions, as did many ministers. I was very active in the church and went to the conventions and one year I met him. But at that time, he really had not achieved fame necessarily. He was a young minister and I remember how vibrant he was, but it wasn’t really that memorable. It was later on that I kind of put all of this together. But I do remember real fondly and clearly the first time I had a real personal contact with him and what I remember about him is that his sincerity was apparent, his love was obvious and his dedication was very, very, very apparent. He talked so passionately about the work he wanted to do. And that was the memory that carries me all the time, how impressive he was when you got a chance to have an engaged conversation with him. 00:01:34:00 TREY ELLIS: And what brought you to the SCLC and working so closely with him? 00:01:38:00 XERNONA CLAYTON: ! !1 !
