I am SO GLAD that I was brought to this channel!!! Rarely is anything in the NT taught with such insight from the OT! THANK YOU again & again for your work in the Scriptures!!!🙏🏼
I appreciate you sharing the Old Testament connections. It's so important to learn through prophetic scripture the coming of the Messiah and the redemption through obedient sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary.
I love Franco Zeffirelli's interpretation in "Jesus of Nazareth," of the blind man receiving his sight. The blind man who receives physical sight from Jesus walks around still with his eyes in a squint. But when Jesus tells him that he is seeing the Son of Man, the formerly blind man's eyes open MUCH wider as he says, "I believe, Lord!" Zeffirelli demonstrates much wisdom there, that the man's sight becomes even clearer, in a spiritual sense, as he accepts Jesus for who He is!
I thought I fully understood this parable, however, your comparison on the "steps" the blind man went through coming to the realization that Jesus is the Son of Man and how it parallels all believer's journey to Him added so much more meaning to this lesson. Anymore when I read the events recorded in the Gospels and "think" I've ascertained the intended meaning, I always ask myself, " What did I miss? What more is He saying or teaching us?" I have to remind myself often that this is God Himself talking to us and not just words on a page. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos.
My unlearned thought. We are constantly on a path walking towards salvation. Some walk the on the earth, praying l, studying & meditating, steps so that we will eventually make our way towards Adonia. Then there are thise on a treadmill. They are walking, beling in all the critical areas, but continue their "normal sinful lives absent prayer, reading, meditating on Adonai's word. While they rack up mileage on the treadmill, they are going nowhere, as the treadmill is stationary. While these new treadmills can be adjust to mimic up & down hills or fast & slow movement, they cannot get you any further down a real road. You will be in the same location as when you began. Growing in a deeper relationship with Adonai requires actual, physical movement, walking away from sin & towards Adonai. So, are you on the earth or treadmill in your spiritual life? You must walk the walk before you reach the gates of heaven.
After I was reading an article about new earth that you wrote, I was wondering. Well we will enjoy new earth better than Eden, but how about sexual intimacy in new earth. Will we have our partner to enjoy? Couse I heared that we will be like angels nor Marrying each other. So? I’m confused.
I believed you read it right. Who need a sexual partner when you are in complete presence of a glorious God?? I assumed there is no greater JOY and SATISFACTION than being with ONE who truly satisfied.
I would not say that he broke the Law (he is the Lawgiver in the flesh). Rather, he began the process of demonstrating that the old laws of the old covenant, which he himself had given, were to be fulfilled and superseded by the new covenant.
@chadbird1517 I would agree with that, I guess I'm wondering what to do with: John 5:18 ESV - This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. I believe half that text. Is John purposely pointing this out?
In Pastor Chad's study of the Bible he found no record of forbidding healing on the Sabbath. He said that the oral tradition (man-made religion) was from the temple leaders who ripped God's loving heart out of His Word and then added it over the centuries. To this I add that their hearts, ears and eyes were hardened, deafened and blind, being less concerned with leading people to God. They were more fixed on being the most scholarly and respected in their own circle ... Pride! Christians are commanded to love our good God, and to stop being self-important. We are to stop trampling all, or any, of God's creation. Jesus didn't hurt people. Follow His behaviour and keep on trying. God bless us all!
Chad Bird. You read Jn 9 wrong. This is how it should be, The answer to the disciples question is. "Neither did this man or his parents sin. (FULL STOP,Then a capital B). Bat that the works of God will be done in him, I will heal him". The works are God wasn't the blindness, it was the healing.
@@chadbird1517 you did read Jn 9 wrong, go back over your video and you'll see how you read it, indicates the man was born blind tot the purpose that God would heal him. I'm not blaming you, it's the translation that's wrong.
Amen🙏💯

Love this channel.
One of my favorite passages in the Word.
Also, Jesus' emphasis on "it is he who you are speaking to" hearkens back to the Voice within burning bush. He is, after all the Word of God! 💗

Do you think he broke the law in order to show that he was Lord of the Sabbath? Like the David example or YHWH working?

are you saying that Jesus crucified is not enough to save us? if your are that is blasphemy.
Nope, not saying that at all. Not even sure where you would have gotten that idea.
