New Testament (1630)
  1. This parable does its surprising work of turning everything upside-down, as Christ’s Kingdom always does.
  2. Peter, Jesus & the end of John.
  3. The Kingdom will be manifest when the King wills it, and rest assured, He is a good King.
  4. The Word and the Spirit go together. The Spirit, the breath of God, illumines and makes alive through the Word of God; both written and external, that is, preached and sacramented.
  5. Good news in gardens.
  6. Paul is talking about military-level allegiance here, the strongest kind of allegiance sworn to a king.
  7. Jesus cares about the daily details of ordinary bodies and creaturely comforts, just as He cares about the eternal well-being of our souls.
  8. Blood, water, and an empty tomb.
  9. This ministry of the Gospel, this standing in the stead and by the command of our Lord Jesus Christ, is demanding business and is entirely unsuitable for the weak-willed or those who compromise with the zeitgeist of the day.
