Jesus Creed

(Say the Jesus Creed morning and evening during Lent.) One of the most mind-numbing as well as frustrating things about biblical studies is learning the “names” and “ideas” of the major interpreters.

Here is a most interesting text in our consideration of what Jesus means by “kingdom.” It is interesting because, though it is not strictly a Jesus/kingdom text, it sheds light: Matt 8: 10 When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, ?I tell you the truth, I have not found…

(Say the Jesus Creed morning and evening during Lent.) Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus…

(Say the Jesus Creed daily during Lent.) Yougottabekiddinme! I look like that? (So asks the little bear.)

(Say the Jesus Creed daily during Lent.) Does Tom Wright believe in the Second Coming? That question has been asked since Tom wrote his exceptional book on Jesus called Jesus and the Victory of God. I recall a conversation I had with my teacher and former colleague, Grant Osborne, about this. Does he? Here’s what…
