Pentecost (600)
  1. It is not just a few words or a few questions coming at Jesus like a few drops of rain. It is the force of a people ready to revolt.
  2. The Passover is about deliverance even more so than the Day of Atonement and, unlike the Day of Atonement, the Passover is about resurrection life, new life.
  3. God is delivering His people by means of a King who will break down the bars that hold us in. It was strange but it was a real deliverance.
  4. Is ‘just as I am’ really good enough? Our answer has to be a nuanced “Yes and No.”
  5. Get a grip on the reality of your redeemed life, Paul says, your miserable attitude and anxiety bespeaks of unfaithful unbelief. Knock it off! Time for an attitude adjustment. Rejoice, again I say rejoice!
  6. God does not simply dismiss death. Instead, He actually takes it upon Himself and into Himself. He ingests, digests, and passes death so we might be spared from even tasting it.
  7. The parable makes obvious what is rarely apparent: God is the absolute Lord of all, and human rebellion is both wicked and futile.
  8. It was the death of David’s greater son who would die for his sin and our sin in order that we might know the mercy of God to cover all our sin and sour grapes.
