  • Faith Voices Letter
    In Support Of Keeping Houses Of Worship Nonpartisan August 16, 2017 Dear Senator: As a leader in my religious community, I am strongly opposed to any effort to repeal or weaken current law that protects houses of worship from becoming centers of partisan politics. Changing the law would threaten the integrity and independence of houses of worship. We must not allow our sacred spaces to be transformed into spaces used to endorse or oppose political candidates. Faith leaders are called to speak truth to power, and we cannot do so if we are merely cogs in partisan political machines. The prophetic role of faith communities necessitates that we retain our independent voice. Current law respects this independence and strikes the right balance: houses of worship that enjoy favored tax-exempt status may engage in advocacy to address moral and political issues, but they cannot tell people who to vote for or against. Nothing in current law, however, prohibits me from endorsing or opposing political candidates in my own personal capacity. Changing the law to repeal or weaken the “Johnson Amendment” – the section of the tax code that prevents tax-exempt nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing candidates – would harm houses of worship, which are not identified or divided by partisan lines. Particularly in today’s political climate, engaging in partisan politics and issuing endorsements would be highly divisive and have a detrimental impact on congregational unity and civil discourse. I therefore urge you to oppose any repeal or weakening of the Johnson Amendment, thereby protecting the independence and integrity of houses of worship and other religious organizations in the charitable sector.

  • Where Is Emmaus? Clues in the Text of Luke 24 in Codex Bezae1
    WHERE IS EMMAUS? CLUES IN THE TEXT OF LUKE 24 IN CODEX BEZAE1 Jenny Read-Heimerdinger A number of scholars have drawn attention to the use made by Luke of the Jewish Scriptures and fresh discoveries continue to be made as more information about the nature and the function of the Scriptures in 1st century Judaism becomes known.2 Scriptural reference is seen not just in the direct quotations which Luke makes but much more in his creative adaptation of texts or groups of texts to produce Midrashic-type narratives which rely on the devices of traditional Jewish exegesis for their interpretation. He thereby situates the events relating to the life of Jesus (in the Gospel), as indeed those relating to the first communities of his disciples (in Acts), in the stream of the continuing unfolding of the history of Israel.3 In the final chapter of his Gospel, there are overt references to the Jewish Scriptures which Luke portrays as made by the resurrected Jesus in order to interpret his Messiahship (vv.27; 44-7). There is, however, much more to Luke's use of Scripture in his account of Jesus' resurrection appearances than these obvious references. Our study will examine in detail this aspect, and will focus on the central section of the chapter (vv.13-25), where Jesus meets two disciples as they walk from Jerusalem to a village a certain distance away. One of the indispensable tasks is to establish the text of Luke, for chapter 24 exists in two main forms, usually described as the Alexandrian text (AT) and the Western text (WT).

  • The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University
    The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon On the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University The Sermon on the Mount recorded in Matthew 5-7 is probably one of the best known of Jesus’ teachings recorded in the Gospels. This is the first of the five discourses in Matthew that Jesus delivered on an unnamed mount that has traditionally been located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum, which is today marked by the Church of the Beatitudes. New Testament scholarship has treated the Sermon on the Mount as a collection of short sayings spoken by the historical Jesus on different occasions, which Matthew, in this view, redactionally put into one sermon.1 A similar version of the Sermon is found in Luke 6:20-49, known as the Sermon on the Plain, which has been commonly regarded as a Lucan variant of the same discourse. 2 The position taken in this paper is, first of all, that the Matthean and Lucan versions are two different sermons with similar content delivered by Jesus on two different occasions. 3 Secondly, it seems almost certain that the two discourses are summaries of much longer ones, each with a different emphasis, spiritual and physical respectively. Whatever position one takes, it appears that the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew is not just a collection of randomly selected pieces; the discourse displays one coherent literary theme. The Sermon is introduced with the Beatitudes, which are concluded with a couplet of short metaphoric parables on salt and light.

  • The Emmaus Road
    SESSION SEVEN The Emmaus Road SESSION SUMMARY In this session, the risen King Jesus joined two of His disciples on the road to Emmaus. By taking a look at their conversation, we learn that the risen King draws near to His people in times of sorrow and confusion. We also see how all of Scripture is a testimony to Jesus Christ, who reveals Himself to those who trust Him. As witnesses to the risen King, we proclaim the Bible’s grand story, which culminates in the death and resurrection of Jesus. SCRIPTURE Luke 24:13-35 66 Leader Guide / Session 7 THE POINT Jesus is the central focus of Scripture and our worship. INTRO/STARTER 5-10 MINUTES Option 1 In J. R. R. Tolkien’s story, The Two Towers, Sam posed a question to his fellow hobbit, Frodo. Both had encountered wonders. Both had survived danger on their journey. As they traveled the perilous road to Mordor, Sam asked, “I wonder what sort of a tale we’ve fallen into?”1 What a profound question! It must be similar to what Jesus’ disciples wondered on the third day after His death. They were confused. They thought they were following a victorious king, but Jesus had been crucified as a criminal. Three days later, they heard an astounding report that suggested Jesus was alive. What kind of a tale had they fallen into? Perhaps you ask a similar question: What kind of story do I belong to as a follower of Jesus Christ? This question haunts us when we face times of sorrow and confusion—especially as people in our community become more hostile to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • Mount of Beatitudes in Tabgha
    Mount of Beatitudes in Tabgha Introduction Located on a small hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee near Tabgha, the Mount of Beatitudes is the traditional site of Jesus' delivery of the Sermon on the Mount, probably the most famous sermon of all time. Pilgrims have been drawn to this scenic place since at least the 4th century. In the Bible "Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came There is a nice church on the Mount of Beatitudes, to him, and he began to teach them, saying: but here it is all about the view. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the The church's peaceful gardens overlook the landscape in which Jesus conducted most of his Galilean ministry kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." (Mt 5:1‐5) Authenticity It is possible that this is the actual site of the Sermon on the Mount, but it is not terribly likely. There is no specific evidence for identification of the site before the 4th century, but it is reasonable to place the Sermon here since Jesus was based in Capernaum not far away. Jerome Murphy O'Connor attributes the selection of the site to pilgrims' own experiences in the area: It was perhaps inevitable that this well‐watered area with its shade trees on the shore of the Sea View from the church's porch of Galilee, where Byzantine pilgrims ate their picnics, should have been identified as the location of two episodes involving the consumption of food, the multiplication of the loaves and fishes and the conferral on Peter of 1 the responsibility of leadership after a fish breakfast.
