Pay Attention!

We live in a distracted time. Our culture and technology demand our time. We need wisdom to recognize and avoid distraction.

In contrast, the Bible calls us to be attentive. With over a thousand references in the Bible to behold and gaze, we are being instructed to take the time to observe and pay attention to what God wants us to notice.

This requires more than a glance.

This episode lays out some scriptural calls to behold. These calls are more than just how God addressed those He spoke to, back then, in Bible times. These calls to behold are present day instructions to stop, look, observe and take in what God wants us to know.

Clarifying The Unspoken

This is an update and clarification for the “Reading Outside The Box” episode. The clarification is to clearly state, and not assume, that the audience will understand Jesus Christ as being both fully God and fully human at the same time.

While Christ has both fully human and fully divine natures, He is not split up into two persons. Two natures; One Person.

Reading Outside The Box

Ideas have implications. Statements in the Bible have implications as well.

In this episode, Hebrews 1:3 is examined alongside Luke 2:8-9 (as well as references to Ezekiel 10). Christ is said to be the radiance of the glory of God. On the night of His birth, shepherds encountered the glory of the Lord. Was Christ specially present to the shepherds as the glory of the Lord while, as a fully human baby, He laid in a manger in nearby Bethlehem?

Where Do We See The Light of Christ’s Glory?

Where can we see the light of Christ’s glory?

The Apostle Paul compares the first light spoken by God (“Let there be light”) with the light spoken into believers in Christ. Believers are a microcosm of the universe. It started in darkness; So did we; For a believer in Christ, Christ’s light of glory is spoken into us. The episode explores the themes of Christ, light and glory.
