May your heart burn
...as your eyes are opened.
Eyes opened...
I was listening to Alistair Begg on the radio speak of the encounter on the road to Emmaus. [1]
The disciples on the road needed their eyes opened to understand that the scriptures had hidden meaning which prophesied of Christ.[3] |
|
Until after the cross...
The riddles concerning Christ were hidden until after the cross.
Only after the cross could he open their eyes to the prophesies and make them understand. [3] |
|
Word placed in the heart
Jesus had opened the eyes of his disciples, their hearts burned. [1]
When God gave his word to Israel on stone tablets the mountain burned. [3] Now when he gives his word to you, your hearts burn and you can begin to understand his mysteries. |
|
Holy grail of preaching
A good preacher or teacher desires to teach God's word; his intended meaning, not merely his own opinion of scripture. Paul calls it prophesying. [1]
As the disciples thereafter studied the scriptures, they remembered what Jesus taught before the cross, and coupled it with what he taught on the road. The Gospels are snapshots of their learning, over time, of the progress in their understanding. [4] The Gospels are 'updates' of the current teaching in the Jewish churches at ten to fifteen year intervals, given to the Gentile churches which did not study the Hebrew for themselves. [5] |
|
A new teaching?
When a man buys a new tool, he may 'put it away where it is not visible' (this is called 'hiding' by some judgemental people) for months before using it. Then when his wife sees him using it and asks if it is new, he can say that it is not new and he has had it a long time. [1]
The new thing was not recognized by the religious experts. They had not yet seen it in the scriptures. [3] |
|
The old thing
The new thing was contained and hidden in the old thing. The new teaching is a new view of the Old Testament as seen through the eyes of those whose eyes had been opened. [1]
If you wish to understand scriptures, you must search. [4] And you must be aided by the Holy Spirit. [5] |
|
Paul taught from the OT
Paul was a trained theologian of the Pharisees and was zealous of the Old Testament scriptures. [1]
Paul taught the new thing from the old thing and the Bereans checked his doctrine from the old thing. [3] |
|
Riddles from the east
The Hebrew word for 'east' also means 'ancient'. When the wise men saw a star in the east, they saw a star in the ancient Hebrew texts. [1] [2]
Paul preached from the same ancient riddles as he taught the 'new thing'. |
|
Mystery animosity
There are hundreds of works purporting to teach the mystery or hidden teachings of Jesus. They are generally nothing more than free-for-all allegory in an attempt to disqualify Jesus as God incarnate and make him out to be nothing more than a charismatic Gnostic teacher.
A small defense for this work is necessary in sharing the boundaries of this 'eye opening' hermeneutic. Without explaining how free-for-all allegory is eliminated, many will claim that these teachings are nothing but. |
|
MYHB - Ch. 1 summary
Rules prevent free-for-all allegory. Some will read them and say that the rules are impossible to meet. Exactly so. No man-made system could impose meaning on the scripture and adhere to the rules. The rules make the meaning of scripture self-correcting, verifiable and reproducible. The rules change Bible debate into Bible collaboration. |
|
MYHB - Ch. 2 summary
Chapter 2 investigates observations from the mystery which color common doctrines. They are shared in a simple way and minimize the tedious proofs of a more scholarly work.
By sharing these upfront, they can quickly put the work down and go about their merry lives. The very purpose of the mystery is to bring the body together in collaboration to solve the prophetic riddles and make the invisible Father known through the works, words, life, death, resurrection and indwelling Spirit of the Son. Perhaps as you read, your eyes may be opened and your heart made to burn. |
