Understanding the Old Testament With Jesus and the Apostles

  1. VOR 5 TAGEN

    Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 8: “That the Scriptures Might be Fulfilled”

    This week we complete our reading of the Nativity stories by adding Matthew’s account (Matt 1:1-2:18), and seeing its important connections to Genesis 35:19-20, Jeremiah 31:15-16, Isaiah 7:14, Hosea 11:1, and Micah 5:2. Matthew deliberately quotes and alludes to the Old Testament to show how Jesus recapitulates the story of humankind and of Israel, putting us right with God.

    Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 7: The Growth of God’s Son

    This week, just following the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple, we read Luke 2:21-52, with the help of Isaiah 42-52, Hebrews 5, and several Church Fathers. What does it mean to talk about the obedience and growth of God Incarnate? How do these stories of Jesus’ childhood encourage and instruct us?

    Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 6: When the Days were Fulfilled

    We read Luke 2:1-20, seeing the birth of Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s work among the Jewish people, the story of David, and the human story as a whole. God the creator cares about our world, about time and space, and comes to dwell with us in this fragile context. We are especially helped by fathers who marvel concerning Luke’s attention to detail, and God’s great compassion.

    Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 5: Rejoice, O Barren Woman!

    Today we look at Luke 1:57-80, the story of John’s birth, circumcision, and the surrounding joy. We understand this deep passage in the light of Isaiah 54:1, Isaiah 9:2 and Psalm LXX 17/MT18:1-3.

    Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 4: The Blessed, the Humble, and the Mighty

    In this episode, we read Luke 1:39-56, noting its link with Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel 2, and David’s joy in the Ark’s homecoming in 2 Samuel 6. The blessing, humility, and perspective of the Theotokos on what constitutes true might is a perfect complement to our preparation for the Nativity.

    Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 3: Our Lord and His Cousin

    This week we consider the annunciation of Jesus in Luke 1:26-38, noticing its parallels and contrasts with the announcement of John the Baptist’s coming, and understanding it through reference to some church Fathers, Gen 18, Ezekiel 8, Haggai 1, 2 Sam 7, and Isaiah 29:22. Luke uses his artistry and deep understanding of the Old Testament to show the link between the God-Man and his cousin John, and to put Jesus luminously in the spotlight.

    Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 2: The Promise of the Forerunner

    This week we consider the announcement of the Forerunner to Zechariah in Luke 1:13-25, understanding Gabriel’s promise in the light of Judges 13; 1 Kings/3 Kingdoms 17-18; 2 Kings/4 Kingdoms 2:81-15; Malachi 4:5-6/LXX 3:22-23. This first glimmering of the good news, recalling the greats of the Old Testament, prepares for all that God plan to do in the ministry of Jesus.

    Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 1: According to Luke

    We begin our series on the stories of the Nativity and their connection to the Old Testament by considering Luke 1:1-8 in the light of Luke 24, 2 Peter 1:19, Amos 9:11, Gen 18, 1 Sam/1 Kingdoms 1, Exodus 37, and 2 Chr. 26:18. Luke signals in his opening verses the deep continuity between the story of Israel and the story of Jesus, both in revealing his intent as an author, and in echoing parts of the Old Testament.
