MARCH 24, 2024 The message of the cross

The message of the cross 

1 Corinthians 1:18-30; 3/24/2024; BCBC/IOUC; Brother Mike Lei

 

Good morning. Today’s message is “The message of the cross.” You will notice that the Chinese and English titles do not exactly match each other. If the Chinese title matches the English title, it should be: 十字架的信息. The English title is based on the NIV translation. The Chinese title is from the CUV translation. The Chinese title used the words 道理, which can mean the “reasoning or principle.” If we see both the English and Chinese translation, then we can understand that the message of the cross is the reasoning or principle of the cross. Or you can say it’s the logic of the cross. The Greek word used is actually logos, which means is translated in John 1:1 as the Word (道).

20240320 门训2 笔记_未来的前景—论八福【马太福音五章】

 20240320 门训2笔记 未来的前景——论八福的前三福【马太福音五章】

 

今天讲马太福音第五章的八福,前几课我讲了路加福音第二章。挑选这两章经文,是让大家看看耶稣是怎样带门徒的。之前我已经讲了旧约,旧约带出耶稣是怎么来的。讲了耶稣的根源,耶稣的圣经依据。上帝设计的救恩中,耶稣藉着亚伯拉罕而来,藉着摩西而来,藉着大卫而来,藉着十二支派神的子民而来;藉着以色列人被掳,归回的故事而来。(尼希米,以斯拉,还没有讲,那是有关以色列人的归回。跟我们如何回天家是有关联的,以后有机会的话再补上。) Continue reading “20240320 门训2 笔记_未来的前景—论八福【马太福音五章】”
