While this is not on topic for this reading specifically, you did mention connections between this week's OT reading and this Gospel. I wonder if you might make a comment on how the lectionary readings are connected, i.e. is it always a connection between OT and Gospel? Do connection patterns change with certain liturgical seasons? It was very helpful this week when you included this connection. Thanks. Wonderful as always, brother.
Hi Craig. In the lectionary, the Gospel reading is the one that sets the theme for the day/week (in every season). The OT reading is chosen to correspond, textually or thematically, with the Gospel. This is sometimes more obvious than at other times. And, to be honest, there are some Sundays when I think to myself: Now why did the lectionary committee select "this reading" instead of "that reading." But, again, ideally the OT is supposed to echo, affirm, or expand upon the Gospel. The Epistle reading, however, is not chosen to correspond to the Gospel. It is a kind of stand-alone reading. Most of the time, at least in modern lectionaries, the Epistle readings will attempt to cover most of a biblical book over a number of Sundays. So, for instance, several weeks in a row, the Epistle readings will be from Ephesians or Galatians, that way the congregation hears (almost) the whole book over time. Hope that provides some clarity. Thanks for asking!
Question regarding Luke 13:34 "how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!" Could Jesus be talking about Isaiah 11 where Messiah was supposed to Gather Israel back? I couldn't see another prophecy regarding the Gathering of all Israel in the New Testament. On 35 talks about the Jews requirement for them to see Him again but nothing about regathering of All Jews back to Israel 35Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”… Thank you
Isaiah 11 is one of many OT texts where there is a promise of a worldwide regathering of the scattered people of God in a kind of cosmic new exodus. Jesus may have been referring to any of them. Interestingly, in Luke 13:34, the verb used for “gathering” (ἐπισυνάγω) is also used in the Septuagint of Psalm 106:47, “Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us [ἐπισυνάγαγε] from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.”
@@cohenlevilovesyeshuahamash900 I'd say there is a lot of evidence of the regathering of Israel in the NT and that this regathering has been going on since the inception op the NT church. The Jews(Judah) in Jesus days were the only remaining tribe of Israel that had not been permanently cut off from among Gods people as opposed to the lost ten tribes of Israël. But Jesus and the apostles were aware of their existence among the gentile nations. See for instance th the books of James and 1 Peter that are addressed specifically to them. Jesus mentioned his 'other sheep' in John 10. And Paul writes about them in Romans chapter 9 where he quotes Hosea. The 'not my people' (exiled tribes of Israël)were to be called once again 'my people'. There would be a reunion of the split Kingdom of Israël, the two sticks as Ezekiel 37 depicts. It only involves the elect remnant from among those people.
@@luukdeboer1974 My opinion is that it will not be All of Israel as Isaiah 11 says but a select remnant. The Ten Tribes obviously cannot happen in my opinion because everyone has been mixed
The NT, especially the Gospels, contain multiple references and allusions to OT texts and whole sections (such as Isaiah 42ff) that promise a worldwide gathering of the people of God. Rather than repeating them all here, I would urge you to check out these resources: A New Testament Biblical Theology by G. K. Beale. The New Testament and the People of God by N. T.
