    The Story

    Uploaded by

    David Kendrick
    This document discusses how the Bible tells the story of God's conversation with his people. It begins by looking at Genesis where God chooses Abraham so that through him all families of the earth will be blessed. It then discusses Exodus where God calls the Israelites to be a kingdom of priests and holy nation, set apart to mediate between God and other nations. Finally, it examines how Jesus fulfilled this story by mediating directly between God and humanity through his death, which was prophesied in Ezekiel, and how he continued God's conversation with his followers after his resurrection according to Luke.

    THE STORY BEGUN AND FULFILLED

    LEFT

    RIGHT

    The Word to be analyzed, deconstructed, and remade according to human convenience

    The words of human beings equated with The Word (logos), and made into a record, on which we are tested

    THE BIBLE WARS HOW BOTH GET IT WRONG

    True story of God in conversation with his people (John 1:14) Protagonist, Antagonist both affect plot As characters and events change, so does interpretation

    THE TRUTH AS STORY & CONVERSATION

    THE STORY BEGUN


    The Old Covenant (Testament)

    GENESIS 11:31-12:-8
    One Man and one woman are picked, so that in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed

    KINGDOM OF PRIESTS

    HOLY NATION

    Priest = Mediator between God and humans Priests in Temple mediate b/w God and Israelites But between God and whom would a kingdom of priests mediate?

    Holy = Set apart

    If youre not set apart from the nations Then you have nothing to mediate to them

    SEPARATION & MEDIATION -- EXODUS 19:6

    THE STORY FULFILLED


    The New Covenant (Testament)

    The Second Temple Only in Jerusalem could Priests mediate between God and Israel The reason for Incense

    WHY WAS JESUS KILLED?

    Mark 11:12-23 No pigeons, No sacrifices What Mountain? Holiness v. Priesthood

    WHY WAS JESUS KILLED?

    Ezekiel 4:1-7 He bore Israels punishment, though all knew his innocence. Not abstraction, but conversation

    WHY WAS JESUS KILLED?

    THE STORY FULFILLED, YET CONTINUING

    Were not our hearts on fire as he talked with us on the road and explained the scriptures to us? (Luke 24:32, Revised English Bible)
