Epiphany: Week 3 - "The Grieving Sisters"

19/1/2014

The story of the "Raising of Lazarus" from John 11 is one of the most memorable and critical stories in history.  But it isn't just the dead man coming alive that catches our attention:  we also should be taken aback by Jesus' words to the mourning sisters: Martha and Mary.  If Jesus' words are to be believed, then we must come to grips with the fact that this Jesus is not just one more great teacher, not even a prophet, who founded a great religion.    If we take Jesus at his words, then we must accept that he is fully God, and fully Human at the same.  This is the epiphany for Martha and Mary, but also for us:  Jesus is the "God-Man" - which, if we believe him, sets him apart from anyone in history.

Epiphany:  Week 2 - "The Insider and the Outcast"

12/1/2014

In John 3 and John 4 we find two stories, that at first glance, seem to be completely unrelated.  One story about a devout religious "insider", and another story about an immoral, religious "outcast".  Nothing in common right?  But what if the gospel writer John place these stories side by side, so that we could compare and contrast them?  Upon closer inspection, and using Tim Keller's "Encounters With Jesus" Lecture series, we discover that the stories of Nicodemus, and the Samaritan Woman at the Well, both hammer home the same point:  our saving hope is found not in religion or irreligion, but in a trusting relationship with Jesus Christ.

Epiphany:  Week 1 - "Nathanael"

8/1/2014

This winter we are looking at epiphanies: stories of how people encountered God, had their eyes opened, and found the answers to some of their deepest questions.  Today's story is the story of Nathanael, the know-it-all student.  Nathanael couldn't believe that life's big answers would be found in Nazareth, in someone like Jesus.  But what he discovered during his epiphany moment is that God moves in the unexpected places, the places where we disregard.  But if we will swallow our pride, and humbly "come and see", then we find Jesus is even more than we imagined!
