Glories of the person of Christ

Mingled Glories Edward Dennett Mingled Glories

The divine and human glories of our blessed Lord are mingled and displayed in His name Jesus. By "mingled" we simply mean that the character of the Person of Christ is such that all that He is as God and as man is told out in His name and in His work. This will be clearly seen by considering the meaning of the name Jesus. As may be seen from Hebrews 4:8, Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, or Jehoshua, which signifies "Jehovah is Salvation," or "whose salvation is Jehovah." There is therefore ample justification for the common observation that the name Jesus means Jehovah the Saviour.

What a subject for contemplation and adoration is brought before our souls in this Child born into the world of lowly parentage in man's esteem, yet divinely declared to be Jesus, Jehovah the Saviour, "for He shall save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21). It is the miracle of miracles, and for that very reason the revelation of the heart of God, when looked back upon in the light of the purpose of His coming into the midst of men.

How nice to end the readings this morning with this thought!

Women silence in the Church

BibleGateway.com - Passage Lookup: Job 4:1-7:21;1corinthians 14:18-40;psalm 37:30-40;proverbs 21:27;

34 Let your[c] women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. 35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

The language of the Scripture is very plain, the failure is in obediance and the importation of the worlds thinking into the Church.

Job -- teach me and I will be quiet

BibleGateway.com - Passage Lookup: Job 4:1-7:21;1corinthians 14:18-40;psalm 37:30-40;proverbs 21:27

"Teach me, and I will be quiet;
show me where I have been wrong.

25 How painful are honest words!
But what do your arguments prove?

Job seems to be honest here, his responce is to Eliphaz,but underneath there lies a spirit, of self righteousness that is at the root of what God sought to expose.

D.A. Carson and biblical faithfulness

Enjoying God Ministries

“At what point does an ‘orthodoxy’ that is more ‘generous’ than God’s become heterodoxy? Not for a moment do I want a vote cast in favor of the narrow-minded, whining, fault-finding, picky, sectarianism with which Christianity has sometimes been afflicted. Rather, what is called for is biblical fidelity. One can be biblically unfaithful by being much narrower than Scripture; one can be biblically unfaithful by being much broader than Scripture. Both sides call it faithfulness; both sides are seriously mistaken. How can we know? By returning to Scripture, again and again, and refusing to be uncomfortable with the categories that God himself has given us, but seeking to learn and digest and believe and obey the whole counsel of God, as far as we see it, without flinching, without faddishness” (208).

Reading a reviewo fhe emerging church by D.A. Carson, I appreciated the above quote from Carson's ministry on galatians
