Under the lordship of Jesus Christ, the mission of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is to be totally committed to the Bible as the Word of God, to the Great Commission as our mandate, and to be a servant of he churches of the Southern Baptist Convention by training, educating, and preparing ministers of the gospel for more faithful service. In the 1600s many Jews came to believe that ) (1483-1520) ©Victoria & Albert Museum, London, UK/ The Bridgeman Art Library Sabbatai Sevi was the Messiah. Excitement ran high in Jewish communities throughout Europe, but all their hopes were dashed as Sabbatai con- verted to Islam when his life was endangered by Muslim rulers. Several cargo cults have arisen in Papua New Guinea in which messianic fi gures arose promising to drive out the colonists and to give their riches to their own people. These movements spawned terrorism and great hostility against the colonists, but every one of these movements came to an end when the charismatic leader was imprisoned or put to death. In the American West the United States routinely mistreated Native Americans, making them promises and then violating them when they wanted more land. Native Americans set their hopes on several charismatic leaders, even thinking that they could not be wounded in battle if they wore ghost skirts. But they were profoundly mistaken. The ghost skirts did not pro- tect them from the bullets of their enemies. Their hopes were crushed and their land was taken away. The stories I have relayed here share a common theme. Peo- ple pin their hopes for a happy life on a view that is not true, and they end up being sorely disappointed. But our faith is not an illusion nor is it based on wish fulfi ll- ment, for the Lord Jesus Christ has been raised from the dead, and we are promised the magnifi cent future of being raised with Him. The great passage supporting Christ’s resurrection is 1 Corinthians 15.

For ex- ample, what if Adam and Eve had not eaten the fruit of the forbidden tree? Would someone else in subsequent generations have introduced sin into the human experience? What if you had not met your spouse? Who would you have married? What if you had taken a job in Toledo instead of Memphis? How would the course of your life have been impacted? While this game yields virtually endless possibilities for the imagination, most of the time the “what if?” question cannot be answered. But with respect to one of the central doctrines of the Christian faith – the doctrine of the resurrection – the Apostle Paul asks, and authoritatively answers, the “what if?” question. First Corinthians 15 is the great resurrection chapter in the Bible. The chapter begins with an assertion of the resurrection of Jesus as central to the Gospel (vv. 1-4). That Jesus was raised bodily from the dead is in accordance with the claims of the Old Testament Scriptures (v. 4), and was affi rmed by many credible eye witnesses (vv. 5-11). In spite of these authenticating proofs, Paul notes in verse 12 that some among the Corinthians were denying the resurrection of the dead. And he argues that if this denial is correct, then Christ could not have been raised from the dead (v. 13). But what if Christ had not been raised from the dead? What if there were no resurrec- tion? What would the consequences be, if Christ had not been raised from the dead? Paul spells out in verses 14-19 six alarming consequences that are true if Jesus is still in the tomb.
I. If Christ is not raised from the dead, the Gospel message is useless. (v. 14)
II. If Christ is not raised from the dead, the believer’s faith is useless. (v. 14)
III. If Christ is not raised from the dead, those who preach the Gospel are deceivers. (v. 15)
IV. If Christ is not raised from the dead, the believer is still dead in sin. (v. 17)
V. If Christ is not raised from the dead, those who have died believing in Jesus have perished. (v. 18)
VI. If Christ is not raised from the dead, the Christian is an object of pity for mis- placed hope. (v. 19)
Conclusion All of these consequences are real if Christ is not risen from the dead. But verse 20 tri- umphantly declares, “But now Christ has been raised from the dead!” And because He is risen, the Gospel is true and transforming; the believer’s faith is rightly placed in Christ; Gospel preachers are truth-tellers; the believer has been granted eternal life; those who have died in Christ are in His glorious presence even now; and we live in confi dent hope, both now and for all eternity. The answers to these “what if’s?” are not mere specula- tions; they are grounded in the authority, grace and power of God Himself. Robert Vogel is Carl E. Bates professor of Christian preaching at Southern Seminary.

Southern Seminary Magazine | Spring 2007 page 15 Mary, did you know?
The problem of Mary largely centers on the prob- lem of Christ. If one has an orthodox view of Christ, how does this involve Mary? When and un- der what physical circumstance did the incarna- tion occur? For our salvation, God must intervene and what is done must be worthy of the offended glory of God. Also, for our salvation, the require- ments legitimately established for human beings at their creation to live in the enjoyment of the divine blessedness must be met in real humanity. God expected humanity to obey, or pay, and ei- ther or both must be done. In other words, one person must be both God and man if any human being at all is to be restored to a position in which he can enter into the joy of the Lord. John’s statement of this is “The Word was made fl esh and dwelt among us; and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only-begotten of God, full of grace and truth” (Jn 1:12). Jesus is the Christ and, thus, that one person embodying both the infi nitely glorious, uncreated, self-existent, immutable, intrinsically holy divine nature in the person of the eternally generated Son of God as well as the earthy, conceived, created, fi nite and morally developing nature of true humanity. For such a person to exist, He must be born, He must have a mother in which this miraculous union takes place. Exactly at this point Mary comes in. When the angel told Mary that she would conceive in her womb, bring forth a Son to be named Jesus and that this Son should be great and be called “the Son of the Highest,” and that the Lord God would give to Him, this Son of hers, the throne of his father David and that He would reign forever, she asked a most reasonable question: “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” (Lk 1:30-34). Nothing could be clearer from the juxtaposition of immediate events with historical prophecy than the fact that Mary’s Son would be God. Since she would have such a Son, and she did not disbe- lieve the angel, how would this take place? The answer given her involves both sides of the descriptions given in the angelic announcement. First, her Son as conceived so as to be born from her — “The Holy Spirit will come upon thee;” and this child as the Son of the Highest — “the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee.” On that basis the holy being born and certainly her Son, though conceived in a supernatural impreg- nation by the creative power of the Holy Spirit, would at the Mater Dolorosa (oil on panel) by Weyden, Rogier van der (1399-1464) © Private Collection/ The Bridgeman Art Library page 16 Spring 2007 | Southern Seminary Magazine same time, because of the immediate involvement of the eter- Not only did this mean He could shed blood for us, but also for nally generating power of the Highest maintain every aspect her; not only would He be the Advocate for us, but for her.

“I know that in my studies and the classes I’m taking, the Lord is preparing me.”
When Jessica Vaughn enrolled at Boyce College, she knew that she would learn truths that applied to ministry. But she had no idea how soon that would happen.
Inspired by her professors’ passion for global evangelism, Jessica put her education to work on the mission fi elds of Nigeria last summer. At Boyce College students don’t just prepare for ministry, they do it. They take what they’re learn- ing in the classroom and apply it in the real world.
If God is calling you to make a difference, don’t wait. Join the students at Boyce College as they impact the church, the world, and the future.
SOUTHERN NEWS AND NOTES Mohler recounts lessons learned in recent illness
Drawing on lessons learned from his recent stay in intensive care following abdominal surgery, R. Albert Mohler Jr. told students and faculty at Southern Seminary’s spring convocation that the assumption of strength can be a preacher’s greatest weakness. “In the midst of my recent experience I was reminded in an altogether new way of just how weak we are and indeed how weak I am,” Mohler said. After nearly a week of intense abdominal pain, Mohler was admitted to Louisville’s Baptist Hospital East on Dec. 27 and underwent surgery the following day. In the days following surgery the development of blood clots led doctors to move Mohler to the hos- pital’s intensive care unit. He was discharged from the hospital Jan. 10. “I was convicted of the fact that the last time I preached in this pulpit I thought myself strong – not in a particular way, just in the general way. I trusted that when I got up in the morning I would be able to preach, and I was excited about that prospect and I gave myself to it with seriousness. I never feared the night before that I would not be able to do it. I took that for granted,” he said. “And yet I did not take for granted that I would be here this morning. I did not take as an assurance that I would be here to preach this message this morning. … I must confess to you that strength is an illusion.” Preaching from 1 Corinthians 2, Mohler noted that a crippling muscle disease, yet still preaches from a wheelchair, and the apostle Paul was not ashamed of weakness because God uses weak James Montgomery Boice, the pastor of Philadelphia’s Tenth Presby- human beings to communicate His Gospel.

The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Roll Call 2006 A Letter From Our President
Dear Friend,
Each year it is a privilege to recognize those who have supported Southern Seminary in a signifi cant fi nancial manner. The generous support provided by friends of this institution has enabled us to continue our pursuit of theological excellence in training students to be faithful ministers of the gospel. In a day when many in our culture have denied absolute truth, we maintain an uncompromising commitment to the truth of God’s Word as the foundation for effective ministry.
We are humbled that God has blessed us in many remarkable ways. Our enrollment continues to climb, as more and more students are directed by the Lord to study at Southern in preparation for a lifetime of ministry. These students are being equipped by many of the leading evangelical scholars of our day who comprise our excellent faculty.
None of these blessings would be possible without the support of the generous people whose names appear in this report. The annual Roll Call is an expression of our thankfulness to those who have invested in Southern Seminary, and also a reminder of our gratitude to God for blessing this great institution. Because of the prayerful support and fi nancial gifts of our friends, Southern Seminary remains faithful to its calling.
Please know of my personal gratitude for you as a partner in the ministry of the gospel. May God continue to bless you according to the glorious riches that are ours in Christ Jesus.
Sincerely,
R. Albert Mohler, Jr.
