John 6: 1-21 Meeting the Fear of God in Jesus Christ
2 Samuel 11: 1-15 David's Watergate
1 Samuel opens up Hannah's praise of God's power for first salvation, a fundamental reversal in life. God can break a strong bow and humble arrogance (1 Samuel 2:2-4), feed the hungry, and strengthen the weak (1 Samuel 2:4-5). This message is narrated in a way that is characteristic of a set in the situations faced by Peninnah and Hannah, Eli and Samuel, and Saul and David. David rises from being oppressed by Saul in 1 Samuel 16, and when his own power is strengthened in 2 Samuel 2, David meets the fortune of gaining the throne.
4 Minute Crab (1)
David and Bathsheba (2-5)
David and Uriah (6-13)
Uriah's Rejection (14-15)
The text tells the story of David's unclean sexuality along with Bathsheba. In this familiar story, the central motive of the story is not that sexual desire has hindered interpretation of faith. The central theme of this text is the dangers of power and the open passages that the author brings us to our minds. One of David's original reasons for rising in the power of God was his unwillingness to yield all things into the order of God's holy concern. This quality characterizes David, who killed the giant Goliath who slandered God. So the David and Goliath story highlights the pattern of God's reversal that raises the humble David and lowers the giant. Many other stories account for this point about David. While in Jerusalem, David sends General Joab to wage holy wars to further utilize and solidify his position as a king with secure political power. After that, the reader will certainly not be able to be passive in what is to come next forever.
Second Samuel 11:1-15 is a story about abuse of power. Most of the abuse of power consists in David leading Israel into the imperial government without jeopardizing the kingship. But this fundamental, genuine violence of inviting Uriah's wife, Bathsheba, to have sexual intercourse underscores David's evil deeds. David assaulted the holy law of war. David abused the power of summoning Bathsheba to have sexual relations with her (Deut. 22:22). David assaulted the Levites (Lev 15:24) and the law of sexual chastity. Finally, David became a murderer. We need to consider the human behavior of trying to solve stupid sexual desires by force. Here, in the meaning of salvation for the murderer, we meet the task of finding a theological approach to reconciliation. Reconciliation means peace for us with God and unity and harmony as members of Christ.
John 6: 1-21
Meeting the Fear of God in Jesus Christ
The text similarly displays the circular narratives of the primitive early Christians hidden in the gospel, in which John's language, themes, and his concerns and problems were debated by many interpreters in the sequel to the goal of decomposing Mark 6 and 8. .
1-15 The story of feeding five thousand
16-21 Crossing the Sea of Galilee to Capernaum by boat
22-24 Describes the curiosity of the crowd seeking Jesus by the sea.
The story of the feeding of the five thousand is not true as being really good or more good or too good. By no means can this text approach the level of Christian history and grasp the meaning it expresses. This text repeats and preserves the story behind the ministry of Jesus as instrumental for the gospel of God's work in Jesus Christ. reluctant sharing in their pockets (the Jews in the 5th century often moved away from home and led a nomadic life) until they became witnesses of Jesus' own generosity as a miraculous story that rationalized 19th-century canonical interpretation by argument That's how they interpreted the stories of people in the crowd with food they secretly hid. So I thought this story was an exercise in the generosity of Jesus. But such interpretations detract from the essence of the message and detract from the story of the ministry of feeding the five thousand. Instead, the story focuses more on Jesus' ministry and Jesus Himself, along with moral issues.
Find a story that repeats the christological view of Jesus Christ and verify it in detail. The problem that Jesus himself recognized was the lack of food. He could not go into the problem and analyze the crowd's problem for the disciples, but Jesus knew what to do. Jesus told his disciples to sit down in crowds. Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish he had received from the child, looked up to heaven, gave thanks to God, and broke it to the crowd. The power for Jesus' ministry was clearly the power of God. The crowd ate and recorded that there were 12 baskets left in the basket. We know that God's provision of food in Jesus Christ is more sufficient than our needs.
The story of walking on the water and feeding the crowds on Epiphany symbolizes the spiritual authority of Jesus overcoming the factors of nature's essence. As the light of life that comes powerfully to our souls, Christ came to the disciples in darkness as they face the storms of the sea. The lack of strength and lack of faith of the disciples at the Sea of Galilee is clearly mentioned by contrasting the power of Jesus with the faith of Jesus. What about our faith and our ability to live our faith?
