Pastor Chronister takes a break from our series on Gen. 1-19 to give us an interesting commentary on recent events. A presidential candidate was publicly weeping for himself. Then a pundit commented that Jesus wept and they crucified him too. The sad part of this is that it's assumed that Jesus was weeping for himself. Pastor goes to scripture for the correction of this perception and a very interesting discussion ensues. The answer to this is found in rule 1...
Rules For Reading Scripture
#1 John 8:24, John 8:58 Where you begin. Jesus IS God. Always IS God. Never is NOT God. He is Omniscient, Omnipotent & Omnipresent. He is ALWAYS just, good and has NO sin or fear (which is sin) ever in Him.
#2 When God/Christ asks a question it is never for Himself. He knows the answer (see rule one). The question is not for Him but for us, He is teaching.
#3 When God/Christ weeps it is not for Himself. It is for the lost/Israel.
#4 When God/Christ intervenes something extraordinary has occurred. A great truth has been protected. A great sin has been committed. Or a combination of both.
#5 The purpose of Israel and the Law is to teach of Christ, in Portraits, Types, Shadows and Doctrine.
