    LUKE 2:25-38 Jesus Is the Promised Messiah

    Session 4 Anticipated Jesus is the promised Messiah. LUKE 2:25-38 04 36 EXPLORE THE BIBLE © 2020 LifeWay Christian Resources What do you anticipate most during the Christmas season? Does it usually fulfill your expectation or leave you wanting? This time of year is filled with anticipation. We might have expectations for receiving a particular gift, for the people we will see, or the activities in which we will participate. No doubt, some of the things we have anticipated meet our expectations and some do not. In today’s lesson, the anticipation of the Messiah did not disappoint two people who had waited for His birth. UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT Prophecy had a rich tradition in Old and prophets that God built His church Testament times. Moses spoke prophetically (Eph. 2:20). The activity of the prophets to the people of God, and messianic in the early church included predicting expectations included a Messiah who would events (Acts 11:28; 20:23; 27:22-26) be a prophet like Moses (Deut. 34:10). and announcing judgments (Acts 13:11; Prophets like Deborah (Judg. 4:6-7) and 28:25-28). These prophetic insights were Samuel (1 Sam. 3:20; 7:6,15) helped conquer not to glorify the prophet but to result and settle the land of Israel.

  • The Census of Quirinius. I

    The Census of Quirinius. I

    274 THE CENSUS OF QUIRINIUS. I. THE difficulties caused by the association established in Luke ii. 1 between the birth of Christ and a census taken in J udma at the order of the Emperor August us are well known. Dr. Schiirer devotes thirty-four pages in his Gesch. des Jiid. Volkes im Zeitalter Jesu Christi to the subject, and any discussion of the difficulties might properly be rested on the foundation of his learned and careful work; but it is better merely to acknowledge my debt to him, and to leave our difference of opinion unnoticed. In the Ex­ POSITOR for January, 1897, p. 72, it is mentioned that exigencies of time prevented me at the moment from stat­ ing an argument on this subject. The pledge implied may be now redeemed; and though it is obviously beyond the bounds of an article to discuss the subject as a whole, one point at least, which is of central importance, may be illustrated. The words of Luke should, as I believe, be understood thus : " There was issued a decree by Cmsar Augustus that census should be taken of the entire Roman world ; this [with which we are concerned] took place, the first census [of the series], while Quirinius was administering the province Syria." I believe that the synchronisms in Luke ii. 1, 2 and iii. 1, 2 are founded on a careful and extended study of history, and that the author wished to place Christian history in its proper position on the background of Roman history. Obviously it is impossible to maintain that view, if the first synchronism, which he establishes at such a critical point in his narrative, is a mere blunder, not merely erroneous in some detail, but involving false views in a number of essential points (as some scholars maintain).

Historians recognize that Paul was one of the most important men in all of world history. It was largely through his ministry that the message of Christianity was brought to much of the urban society of the Roman Empire within one generation. To better appreciate Paul’s ministry and impact, read the Scriptures, consider and discuss the following questions: 1. We first meet Paul in Scripture when Stephen was being stoned (Acts 7:54-60). At that time he was then called Saul. What role did Saul have in Stephen’s stoning? What impression might the dying Stephen’s words and behavior have on Saul? 2. Though born in Tarsus in Asia Minor, Paul was raised in Jerusalem, where he was a student of the beloved Gamaliel. What was Gamaliel’s attitude to the new sect of Christians? Why might Saul’s attitude differ so markedly from his teacher (Acts 22:3; 5:34-39; cf. 8:3; 9:1-2)? 3. Saul was not seeking the Lord Jesus, but the Lord was seeking him and spoke to Saul as he was on his way to Damascus to further persecute the Christians (Acts 9:1-7).

(www.Lockman.org) Lesson 4 Introduction 1. Lesson 1 was devoted to the prayers of Jesus in Gethsemane. 2. Lesson 2 discussed the arrest of Jesus and He being bound over to Annas in the middle of the night. 3. Lesson 3 was a discussion of His illegal trial before Annas the former high priest, and the fact no formal charges were made against Him. 4. This lesson will be a discussion of His Pre-Dawn Trial Before Caiaphas And The Sanhedrin. Pre-Dawn Trial Before Caiaphas And The Sanhedrin 1. Jesus was first tried before Annas. (Jn. 18:12-13, 24). JOH 18:12 So the Roman cohort and the commander, and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him, JOH 18:13 and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. JOH 18:24 Annas therefore sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. 2. He will now be tried before the Sanhedrin and Caiaphas the current high priest. (Jn. 18:13, 24). 3. There will be later a post-dawn trial before Sanhedrin and after that a trial before Pilate the Roman governor. 4. The gospel writers all mention this pre-dawn trial before Caiaphas. (Matt. 26:57; Mk. 14:53; Lk. 22:54; Jn. 18:24). MAT 26:57 And those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

    Chapter 20 John's Gospel, the Gnostics and Supplimenting

    CHAPTER 20 JOHN’S GOSPEL, THE GNOSTICS AND SUPPLIMENTING THE SYNOPTICS The History and the Dating of John’s Gospel The records of the historians are consistent with one another. According to the Old Latin Prologue to John, Bishop Papias of Hierapollis (60-138) related that he had written the Gospel as John had dictated it to him (RO 150). This claim may have been concerning the last chapter only. Papias said John had composed it at the request of the bishops of Asia against Cerinthus and other heretics, especially the Ebionites. Papias added that John knew the other three gospels and had written to supplement them. (RO 151). Irenaeus (120-180) wrote: ‘Later on too, John, the disciple of the Lord, who had even reclined on his bosom, he too brought out a Gospel while he was dwelling in Ephesus of Asia’. (RO 129). [Present day Turkey] A long fragment of the Muratorian Canon was discovered in 1740 by Cardinal Muratori in the Ambrosian library at Milan. Internal evidence shows it was composed between 141- 155 AD. Some attribute its authorship to Hippolytus. The Latin text, confirmed by other finds, appears to have been translated from the Greek. (RO 138-139) It explains that John wrote: at the insistence of his fellow-disciples and bishops. John agreed and asked them “to fast with him for three days, and what shall have been revealed to each let us, relate to one another”. That same night it was revealed to the Andrew, one of the Apostles, that whatever came to the minds of them all, John, in his own name, should write it all down.

Anderson Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/ccs Part of the Christianity Commons News and Interpretations on the Bible and Ancient Near East History. "Jesus: His Life from the Perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas" (Pt. 2) By Paul N. Anderson George Fox University Newberg, Oregon April 2019 Following on the first two episodes of the History Channel’s “Jesus: His Life,” focusing on perspectives of Joseph and John the Baptist, the second installment continues the hybrid approach, reflecting on the life of Jesus from the perspectives of Mary and Caiaphas. The opening episode features Jesus visiting Jerusalem as a twelve-year old, as portrayed in Luke 2. Beginning with Mary and her memory of the infancy and childhood of Jesus, things move forward quickly into the story of his engaging the Jewish authorities in the temple. While nothing else is known about the childhood and early adulthood of Jesus, the memory of his engaging religious authorities in Jerusalem must have influenced Mary’s impression of his mission and special calling in life. The episode tracks with the traditional view that Joseph may have died before the ministry of Jesus began, which would have led to his working as a carpenter to support the family. Along these lines, several conjectures of tensions between Jesus and his brother are presented. First, his brothers may have resented his ministry-related departure—imposing on them to provide for the family’s welfare.
  • From Hades to Hell Christian Visions of the Underworld (2Nd–​5Th Centuries Ce)

    From Hades to Hell Christian Visions of the Underworld (2Nd–​5Th Centuries Ce)

    Chapter 13 From Hades to Hell Christian Visions of the Underworld (2nd– 5th centuries ce) Zissis D. Ainalis When men and women of the Graeco- Roman world in the first century got word about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, something about that story rang a bell. After all, some of the greatest heroes of their literature and their reli- gion had gone to the Underworld and returned alive. Odysseus and Aeneas, Herakles and Orpheus – they all went to Hades in search of the dead. Glen Bowersock is certainly right when he insists that the great difference between Jesus and all the others was that he was dead, that he really died and was resurrected, and that the notion of resurrection was strange and absurd to Graeco- Roman perception.1 However, this central event of Christianity inev- itably called to mind the great characters of the Graeco- Roman tradition and, in this sense, eased the way for the acceptance of this new Semitic religion by Graeco- Roman society. This process will here be primarily illustrated by three texts: the Gospel of Nicodemus, the Vision of Paul and the Life of Saint Macarius the Roman. While these works belong in different centuries and to some extent in different literary traditions, they all display the way in which the Graeco- Roman heritage was recognized, used and developed in the Late Antique and early Byzantine tradition. The Gospel of Nicodemus From early on, Christians started to speculate about the passage of Jesus to the Kingdom of Death. Initially it may have been a taboo to call it Hades, but custom and tradition eventually prevailed.
  • Jesus Before the Priests (John 18:12-24)

    Jesus Before the Priests (John 18:12-24)

    Jesus Before the Priests (John 18:12-24) Scripture Text: 12. So the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him, 13. and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14. Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people. 15. Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest, 16. but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in. 17. Then the slave-girl who kept the door *said to Peter, “You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.” 18. Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself. 19. The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching. 20. Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret. 21. Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.” 22.
