The Gospel According to Luke, Isaiah, and Origen
Lumen et Vita 9:2 (2019), doi: 10.6017/lv.v9i2.11125 “To Evangelize the Poor:” The Gospel According to Luke, Isaiah, and Origen James E. Kelly Boston College School of Theology and Ministry (Brighton, MA) Abstract In this essay, I will examine the scriptural basis for Origen’s interpretation of Luke 4:18-19 as an allusion to Jesus’ identity as savior, not as a call to social justice. I argue that this interpretation is consistent with the intentions of the gospel writer. The essay begins with an analysis of the gospel writer’s redaction of Mark 1 in Luke 3-5. Based on that redaction, I hypothesize that Luke intends to emphasize Jesus’s identity with the anointed one mentioned in Isaiah 61:1-2. This excerpt from Isaiah not only gives Luke 4:18-19 its Christological significance but also clarifies Luke’s understanding of poverty in relation to the Gospel. I then examine Origen’s application of the Lucan passage for his pastoral purposes. To conclude, I suggest that we, like Luke and Origen, read Scripture Christocentrically in order to better facilitate the church’s encounter with Christ during the liturgy. Text If you want to see what it means to preach the Gospel, look at Jesus in the Nazareth synagogue. Within the Gospel of Luke,1 this occasion marks the first time Jesus preaches—and the first time he is rejected—during his public ministry. The other three evangelists don’t seem to remember it well. For Matthew and Mark, the rejection at Nazareth pales in comparison to the many miracles Jesus previously performed throughout Galilee; for John, this event goes unmentioned.2 What matters to Luke is the message Jesus preaches in the Nazareth synagogue, an excerpt from the book of the prophet Isaiah: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, on account of which He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. -

Community Group Study Guide
Making Disciples that Delight in the Supremacy of Jesus Christ COMMUNITY GROUP STUDY GUIDE The Lord & His Lieutenants LUKE 6:1-19 OVERVIEW Luke is the longest and most comprehensive of the four Gospels, presenting Jesus as the Perfect Man who came to save sinful men. Growing belief and growing opposition develop side by side. Those who believe his claims are challenged to count the cost of discipleship; those who oppose him will not be satisfied until the Son of Man hangs lifeless on a cross. But the resurrection ensures that his ministry of seeking and saving the lost will continue through his disciples once they have been equipped with the indwelling Holy Spirit. Luke reveals that Jesus is the King, and he has come to inaugurate his Kingdom. (Adapted from Talk Through the Bible). APPLY // LUKE 5:17-39 1. Read Luke 5:17-39. 2.

Jesus in the Hands of a Barthian Rudolf Bultmann's Jesus in the Perspective of a Century of Criticism*
JESUS IN THE HANDS OF A BARTHIAN RUDOLF BULTMANN'S JESUS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF A CENTURY OF CRITICISM* Ν. Β. STONEHOUSE R/ PRESIDENT and Gentlemen of the Board of M Trustees: I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the honor which you have conferred upon me in elevating me to the Professorship of New Testament. Let me assure you that I am vividly aware of the unique privileges which this position affords, and that I am entering upon its labors with no small measure of enthusiasm. Nevertheless, as I reflect upon the demands which it places upon me, I confess a deep sense of inadequacy. One factor in the situation that gives me considerable pause is the memory of the one whom I am called to succeed in this great work. Although fifteen months have passed since Dr. Machen found rest from his labors as minister and " teacher of the New Testament, the sense of loss, like the sorrow at his departure, has not diminished. I am deeply conscious of the distinction which his presence, here gave to the department of New Testament, as to the Seminary as a whole, both through his scholarly attainments and his illustrious success as a teacher. I can follow him only from afar. Nevertheless, my mind does not linger long with these thoughts before I am reminded that our sovereign God, who bestows diversity of gifts, both of kind and of measure, does not hold us responsible according to the standard of another's endowments. This article constitutes the inaugural address of the Rev. -

Squabbling Over the Sabbath Luke 6:1-11
July 10, 2016 DR. ROBERT JEFFRESS SQUABBLING OVER THE SABBATH LUKE 6:1-11 INTRODUCTION: Should Christians go out to eat, go to the movies, or shop on Sunday? Up until several decades ago, there were laws that prohibited what citizens — whether Christian or not — could purchase on Sundays. Today we are going to discover what Jesus said — and didn’t say — about the Sabbath. I. A Summary Of The Sabbath A. Its Meaning Exodus 20:8-11 “8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.” B. Its Purpose C. Its Distortion D. Its Relevance Colossians 2:16-17 “16 Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or new moon or a Sabbath day— 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.” 1 SQUABBLING OVER THE SABBATH Luke 6:1-11 July 10, 2016 | DR. ROBERT JEFFRESS Romans 14:10-13 “10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God. -
The Visitation & the Magnificat
The Visitation & the Magnificat A Closer Look at the Gospels of Advent and Christmas The women of both annunciations meet The Angel Gabriel informed Mary of the Elizabeth’s pregnancy (v. 36-37) When the angel leaves her, she arises and depart immediately She travels in haste to Judea This is an area west of Jerusalem in the hills outside the city God’s Plan The mention of Elizabeth’s sixth month indicates that this is part of God’s plan The haste of Our Lady’s response indicates her obedience to God’s plan in going immediately Nothing said by God can be impossible. This is an echo of the Abraham – Sarah story in Genesis 18: 14. Maternity or Discipleship Elizabeth blesses Our Lady to emphasize Luke’s interest in presenting her as the model of discipleship Blessed is she for being the mother of a son, a son who is the Messiah, but blessed also is she who believes and trusts in the Lord Even the child in her womb literally jumps for joy at this blessing as he will identify him later Blessing Elizabeth has twice blessed Our Lady in her greeting It would be appropriate for Our Lady to respond then with a blessing for Elizabeth Instead, Our Lady responds by blessing the Lord The Magnificat Mary’s Song of Praise The Handmaid An imagery that is reflective of both Hannah the mother of Samuel and Our Lady as the Mother of the Redeemer Handmaid is the feminine rendering of slave This may be reflective of the social status of many Christians in the first century Our Lady becomes the spokesperson for the lowly or enslaved Hannah and Miriam of Nazareth 1 Samuel (Hannah) Luke 1 (Miriam) 11: O Lord of hosts, if you will look 48: Because he has regarded the on the low estate of your low estate of his handmaid handmaid 51-53: He has shown the strength 7-8: The Lord makes poor and of His arm; He has scattered the make rich; He reduces to lowliness proud in the imagination of their and He lifts up. -
