    Black Friday to Xmas

    I don’t know about you, but once again Thanksgiving seems to be upon us, a prerequisite observance overrun by the rush of DEALS for the Christmas holidays.

    Aren’t you THANKFUL for this holiday season immediately following Halloween?

    Innumerable lights blinding in darkness and gift buying lasting forever and ever…

    Black Friday HOLIDAY Deals Drive-thru


    I have previously mentioned this hustle and bustle of black Friday having overtaken the archaic imagery of worshiping pilgrims. Yet each year’s commercial focus on a relatively minor Jewish holiday and formerly insignificant Christian observance grows more and more into a worship of our prosperity (for which we give thanks).

    A Puritan Thanksgiving in colonial America

    from which our Thanksgiving traditions supposedly celebrate

    Perhaps our 17th century Puritan forefathers who celebrated this uniquely American Thanksgiving holiday weren’t far from the truth of this holiday season.


    Puritans forbade Christmas, considering it too pagan. Governor Bradford actually threatened New Englanders with work, jail or fines if they were caught observing Christmas.

    THANKS to BLACK FRIDAY & Cyber Monday this holiday provides little rest and even less thanks.

    Roger@TalkofJesus.com

    Thanks giving?

    Set aside your devices and distractions for a moment as you gather together with family and you will see much bounty, a recurring theme for America.

    Who will you thank?

    • Your host and hostess? Sure.
    • Or maybe family who have made this gathering possible? Perhaps
    • Yet the thanks giving of those faithful to the Lord is always to God.

    No book better expresses our worship, our praises, and singing with joy to the LORD than Psalms, which is the hymnal of Jewish and Christian worship.


    Psalm 136

    Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.

    [136:1 הֹודוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טֹוב כִּי לְעֹולָם חַסְדֹּֽו׃]

    25 Who giveth food to all flesh:

    for his mercy endureth for ever.

    26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven:

    for his mercy endureth for ever.


    King James Version (KJV)

    This is giving thanks as the Pilgrims of America’s founding would have given to God – not only on this holiday, but also in other worship.

    Thanks is often a theme of worship, therefore thanking God is the first fruits of harvest for believers of all faiths who landed in this new world.

    Yet we have forgotten the lessons of the Lord — He who has preserved us for bounty and blessings of a new land.

    Are we so unlike those who worshiped the Lord before, yet then neglected to thank their Provider?

    God bless America is a frequent prayer of Christians, but the prayer of difficult times must be, "America, Bless God!"
    Let the people of AMERICA, bless GOD

    Psalm 95

    Worship 

    Come, let us shout joyfully to the Lord,
    shout triumphantly to the rock of our salvation!

    Let us enter his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us shout triumphantly to him in song.

    Psalm 95 CSB

    Hear this caution from the Psalm, that we might not give our thanks lightly, forgetting the worship of Almighty God our Creator.


    6 Come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
    7 For he is our God,
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    the sheep under his care.

    The Psalmist then reminds worshipers of those who had previously turned from the Lord.

    Warning

    Today, if you hear his voice:
    8 Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
    as on that day at Massah in the wilderness
    9 where your fathers tested me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.

    Psalm 95, referring to exodus 17:17

    Negev in southern Israel, Gaza and some areas near the Dead Sea are very barren places away from the towns and settlements
    Wilderness of the Negev 

    Meribah מְרִיבָה means testing and is the place where the Hebrews escaping Egypt tested the Lord, rather than giving thanks to the Lord.

    And Massah מַסָּה means quarreling, the politics of an ungrateful saved people in the wilderness.

    Sound familiar?

    The Lord saved many who had fled to the New World from persecution and death in the seventeenth century.

    The Pilgrims and others gave God thanks for this.

    Yet the Psalmist reminds worshipers of a blessed people:

    Do not harden your hearts.

    Those escaping to a new land had far to go and much to learn of community, lessons about authority and of thankfulness.

    Because of their testing and quarreling, the promise of the Lord would not be fulfilled in their generation.

    Therefore let us heed these cautions of the Psalmist in our attitude of thanks to the Lord.

    Even today, in these Common Era seasons of Black Fridays,

    If you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.


    10 For forty years I was disgusted with that generation;
    I said,

    “They are a people whose hearts go astray;
    they do not know my ways.”
    So I swore in my anger,
    “They will not enter my rest.”

    Do you thank the Lord this day?

  • Jesus Christ Lord – 3 Christ of the Christian Church

    Jesus Christ Lord – 3 Christ of the Christian Church

    Christians of the early Church proclaimed Jesus Christ Lord confessing, “JESUS is Lord.”

    • What is your relationship to the Son of God and Son of Man?

    Part 1 UPDATED 25 September 2024 CE

    Previously I pointed out thoughtful teaching QUESTIONS about GOD from the Westminster Shorter Catechism.

    Roles and Relationships of JESUS

    In Part 2 we read about Jesus Christ from the Nicene Creed.

    “.. of one substance with the Father,..”

    JESUS relates to mankind in roles summarized as King, Prophet and Priest; but none is more foundational than Christ of God.

    Roger@TalkofJesus.com

    the Trinity of the LORD

    Church and Biblical teaching are both clear and mysterious in describing GOD’s ROLES of relationship within HIMSELF, that is:

    • FATHER to the SON
    • SON to the SPIRIT
    • Holy Spirit
      • to the Father
      • and to the Son

    Some Christians know and experience a personal relationship to THE ONE GOD. The HOLY SPIRIT speaks to the heart [spirit ] of a uniquely created man or woman, a mortal made of flesh and blood.

    Church Doctrine (teaching)

    In Part 3 of this doctrinal post about the one LORD JESUS CHRIST we will look at scriptural teaching concerning CHRIST from historic catechisms of the Church AND most foundationally, from God’s word in the BIBLE.

    Catechisms provide studied ANSWERS to student QUESTIONS

    Like ANY learning, the Questions and Answers of a catechism we study and memorize as students seeking a deeper understanding of God.

    Doctrine-based QUESTIONS of Christology

    • 21. Who is the redeemer of God’s elect?
      • The only redeemer of God’s elect is the Lord Jesus Christ, who, being the eternal Son of God, became man, and so was, and continueth to be, God and man in two distinct natures, and one person, forever.
    • 23. What offices doth Christ execute as our redeemer?
      • Christ, as our redeemer, executeth the offices of a prophet, of a priest, and of a king, both in His estate of humiliation and exaltation.

    What does the Church teach? (Church Doctrine)

    Today we’ll study the roles of JESUS’ personal relationship with YOU, with me and with all followers of the Lord.

    Let's begin with a review from the NICENE CREED with its EARLY UNIVERSAL (Catholic) agreement as to the Person and Roles of Christ and God.

    THE CREED OF NICAEA – AGREED AT THE COUNCIL IN 325

    Until the early 20th century, it was universally assumed that the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (the more accurate term) was an enlarged version of the Creed of Nicaea, which was promulgated at the Council of Nicaea (325). It was further assumed that this enlargement had been carried out at the Council of Constantinople (381) with the object of bringing the Creed of Nicaea up to date in regard to heresies about the Incarnation and the Holy Spirit that had arisen since the Council of Nicaea. - source: Britannica

    Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down,

    and became incarnate

    and became man,

    and suffered,

    and rose again on the third day,

    and ascended to the heavens,

    and will come to judge the living and dead,

    And in the Holy Spirit.

    Nicene Creed, a Christian statement of faith that is the only ecumenical creed because it is accepted as authoritative by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and major Protestant churches. -Britannica


    Offices, Titles, Roles and Relationships of JESUS

    As is my practice, linked DEFINITIONS to clarify.

    Christ our Redeemer

    “As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,

    And [after] the last He will rise up over the dust of this world.

    Job 19:25 LSB

    Redeemer is a specifically Scriptural reference to a person acting to save a person or people from the hold, control or responsibility of another.

    The Prophet Isaiah points forward to the Holy One of Israel as the redeemer of Israel for the chosen ones of God.

    Lord κύριος

    Jesus asked them, saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?”

    He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:

    ‘The LORD said to my Lord,
    “Sit at My right hand,
    Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’ 
    ?

    Gospel of Matthew 22:41-46 excerpt New King James Version

    22:45  εἰ οὖν Δαβὶδ καλεῖ αὐτὸν κύριον πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν 

    Since David called the Messiah ‘my Lord,’ how can the Messiah be his son?” - NLT

    Offices of our Redeemer

    • the office of a prophet
    • the office of a priest
    • the office of a king

    Prophetfrom נָבָא (H5012) נָבִיא

    Then the LORD came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward. Then He said,

    “Hear now My words:
    If there is a prophet among you,
    I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision;
    I speak to him in a dream.

    Numbers 12:5 NKJV

    New Testament use of prophet from the Greek:
    προφήτηςStrong’s G4396prophētēs

    “But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

    Gospel of Matthew 11:9 NKJV [7-15 in contest] JESUS, speaking of John, even comparing John to Elijah and citing Scripture from O.T. Prophets.

    • What does the BIBLE teach us about this office of JESUS?

    And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying,

    That a great prophet G4396 is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

    Gospel of Luke 7:16 KJV [vs 11-17 in context] when JESUS raised a boy to life from his funeral casket

    Priest kōhēnכֹּהֵן

    And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest H3548 of the most high God.

    Genesis 14:18 KJV (first reference to the office of priest in the Bible)

    priest,
    principal officer or chief ruler
    priest-king (Melchizedek, Messiah)
    [6 more]
    Active participle of כָּהַן (H3547)

    Lexicon :: Strong’s H3548 – kōhēn

    The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest H3548 for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

    Psalm 110:4

    לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר נְאֻם יְהוָה לַאדֹנִי שֵׁב לִימִינִי עַד־אָשִׁית אֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדֹם לְרַגְלֶיךָ׃

    1. priest-king (Melchizedek, Messiah)
    2. pagan priests
    3. priests of Jehovah
    4. Levitical priests
    5. Zadokite priests
    6. Aaronic priests
    7. the high priest
    Priest – ἱερεύς

    just as He says also in another passage,

    “YOU ARE A PRIEST G2409 FOREVER

    ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”

    Hebrews 5:7 LSB

    High Priest or Chief Priest – ἀρχιερεύς – archiereus

    Now the main point in what is being said is this: we have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the holy places and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

    Hebrews 8:1-2 LSB


    King

    .. for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

    Malachi 1:14b KJV

    king – meleḵ – מֶלֶךְ

    occurs 2,526 times in the Hebrew Bible

    Israel follows YAWWEH as its King of kings and Lord of lords.

    What other people have GOD as its King by their covenant with the LORD?


    king βασιλεύς – basileus
    Strong's Number G935 matches the Greek βασιλεύς (basileus),
    which occurs 118 times in 107 verses in the TR Greek.

    And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING G935 OF THE JEWS.

    Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John

    Outline of Biblical Usage 

    1. leader of the people, prince, commander, lord of the land, king
    probably from G939 (through the notion of a foundation of power); a sovereign (abstractly, relatively, or figuratively):—king.

    JESUS showed POWER on earth, signs and miracles no created man could do except the expected Messiah of GOD !

    The King, as Judeans had hoped, would be more powerful than Herod the Great (who rebuilt the Temple, a civil project still under construction under one of his sons (King Herod). Jerusalem and all the lands and their kings were subject to ROME and its Caesars.

    “Hosanna,

    Ὡσαννά εὐλογημένος ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ

    hōsanna eulogeō ho basileus israēl

    “.. Blessed [is] the King of Israel..

    John 12:13c

    a crowd of people with palm branches processing toward Jerusalem

    Rome’s Governor Pilate would decide a pre-ordained mortal fate of this earthly KING Jesus, a man seemingly powerless as Jerusalem’s King Herod and his appointed priests of the Judean Temple.

    The Apostles Peter and John also preached Christ crucified and risen with signs from God. ACTS 3-4

    JESUS, according to God’s Word

    Wouldn't HOLY SCRIPTURE; written, God-breathed words of the BIBLE (faithfully translated); provide the best, true guidance of how Christian should proclaim JESUS?

    Consider how the New Testament speaks about Jesus - source
    • “Jesus” occurs 980 times in 940 verses in the LSB.
    • 942 times in the KING JAMES VERSION
    • 1000+ times in translations substituting ‘Jesus‘ for prepositions such as ‘He.’

    • Jesus” AND “prophet” occurs in 5 verses in ‘The Gospels” in the LSB.
      • and JESUS never uses it Himself as a title, only confirming this office.
    • Jesus” AND “priest” occurs 30 times in 14 verses in the LSB.
    • He is never addressed as a ‘Priest,’ but the letter of HEBREWS and other Scripture makes clear that JESUS is both Priest and Sacrifice.

    Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of our confession.

    For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things like we are, yet without sin.

    Hebrews 4:14-15 LSB

    • Jesus” AND “king” occurs 18 times in 8 verses in the LSB
    • Jesus never refers to Himself as King yet acknowledges the recognition of Him by others.

    So Jesus, knowing that they were going to come and take Him by force to make Him king G935, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.

    Gospel of John 6:15 LSB – G035 – basileus

    • The Twelve Apostles and others frequently address the man Jesus as, “Lord.”
    • Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. – Matthew 20:30b
    • When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. – Luke 5:8

    And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

    Gospel of Luke 24:23 KJV – the women at the tomb of Jesus on Resurrection Sunday

    Easter or Resurrection Sunday is the day the tomb of Jesus is found empty and when the risen Messiah appears risen after His crucifixion on a Corss

    The Revelation of Jesus Christ to John 1:4-5 excerpt LSB

    Our evangelism of the gospel may present the Lord Christ Jesus more casually than the scriptural truth that HE IS GOD!

    Christians and others sometimes talk of Jesus presumptively or perhaps even flippantly.

    JESUS IS! just as the LORD told the Hebrews through Moses the explanation,
    I AM THAT I AM!
    Exodus 3:14 KJV אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה


    JESUS defined

    Without quibbling over the hundreds of NAMES Christians use to proclaim JESUS to unbelievers, let’s simply DEFINE and consider these three I have chosen today:

    Ἰησοῦς

    The KJV translates Strong’s G2424 in the following manner: Jesus (972x), Jesus (Joshua) (2x), Jesus (Justus) (1x).

    John 1:10 NASA ISS image of earth

    Ἰησοῦς – Jesus

    Lexicon :: Strong's G2424 - iēsous

    Before, Then, Now & Forever

    According to the GOSPELS of JESUS CHRIST

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word [logos] was with God [theos], and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

    Gospel of John 1:1-4 NKJV

    And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

    Gospel of John 1:14 NKJV

    Human History: ~4 B.C – ~A.D. 30

    Consider the enduring testimony of Scripture recorded in approximately A.D. 50 through the A.D. 90's, soon after the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ more than 2000 years ago.

    The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. – Mark 1:1 [A.D. 50’s]


    Prologue of the Gospel of Luke:

    Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

    In the days of Herod, king of Judea .. – Luke 1:1-5a ESV [~A.D. 60-62]

    Βίβλος γενέσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, υἱοῦ Δαβίδ, υἱοῦ Ἀβραάμ

    The book [Biblos] of the genealogy [genesis] of Jesus [iēsous] Christ [christos], the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

    Matthew 1:1 [A.D. 60’s]


    Χριστοῦ – Christ

    [image of the Christ child] until Shiloh come and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Genesis 49:10 with picture of sleeping baby

    “Where is He that is born King of the Jews? – Matthew 2:2

    Pilate said to them, “Then, what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”

    They all said, “Let Him be crucified!”

    Matthew 27:22  LSB, GNT

    λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος τί οὖν ποιήσω Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον Χριστόν

    Behold the Man - Jesus before Pilate who said, Shall I crucify your King?

    Christ defined

    Post-Resurrection – from A.D. 30’s – to ???? eternity

    The BIBLE documents MANY post-resurrection appearances of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Apostles, Paul, and others.
    In about A.D. 55 the Apostle Paul writes: 

    After that He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.

    1 Corinthians 15:6 LSB

    We may be familiar with the AWESOME appearance of JESUS to Saul [Paul] on a road to Damascus but read of a much later revelation of the risen Jesus to the Apostle John for UNDERSTANDING a more present, even future context of ALL CREATED MEN AND WOMEN appearing before the Throne of the Lord Christ Jesus!


    The Revelation of Jesus Christ

     ἀποκάλυψις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ 

    When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead.

    But he laid his right hand on me, saying,

    “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

    Revelation 1:17-18 ESV


    HEAR the Apostle John’s description of the Lord, SON OF MAN, as Jesus had described His Person born into this world, the same RISEN LORD John had witnessed some SIXTY YEARS before when he was a young Apostle.


    ~ A.D. 90-95

    .. and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.

    The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

    The revelation of Jesus Christ to John 1:12b-16 ESV


    LORD, Lord, lord

    Fallen flesh resists JESUS as Lord, born in flesh and blood, the Son of Man dying in suffering flesh and sacrificed blood on a Cross.

    Roger@TalkofJesus.com

    Is JESUS your Lord?

    CREATED humankind have difficulty accepting ALMIGHTY GOD, born as a mere man, suffering for sinful souls condemned to death and hell.

    THEREFORE, WE who would be EQUAL to ALL resist following JESUS as Lord.


    Lord defined

    And Abraham answered and said, “Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes.

    Genesis 18:27 LSB – אֲדֹנָי ‘ăḏōnāy

    And he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master H113 Abraham, who has not forsaken His lovingkindness and His truth toward my master H113; as for me, Yahweh has guided me in the way to the house of my master’s H113 brothers.”

    Genesis 24:27 LSB – Lexicon :: Strong’s H113 – ‘āḏôn

    The unused root of [אֲדֹנָי ‘ăḏōnāy] used by Abram’s slave or servant referring to his owner:

    אָדוֹן

    The KJV translates Strong's H113 in the following manner: lord (197x), master(s) (105x), Lord (31x), owner (1x), sir (1x).

    Note the intended authority implied in each of these human roles, let alone those references to God:

    • firm, strong, lord, master

    • reference to men
      • superintendent of household, of affairs
      • master
      • king

    • reference to God

    kyrios – Lord

    Moving from the Hebrew Scripture to the Greek of the New Testament we observe Jesus asking followers about their RELATIONAL loyalty to Him.

    “Now why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

    Gospel of Luke 6:46 LSB – QUESTION of JESUS for followers

    κύριος kýrios, koo'-ree-os; from κῦρος kŷros (supremacy); 
    supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Master (as a respectful title):—God, Lord, master, Sir.
