<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="text Matt-28-1">Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first <i>day</i> of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-2" id="en-NASB-24198"><sup class="versenum">2 </sup>And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-3" id="en-NASB-24199"><sup class="versenum">3 </sup>And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-4" id="en-NASB-24200"><sup class="versenum">4 </sup>The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-5" id="en-NASB-24201"><sup class="versenum">5 </sup>The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-6" id="en-NASB-24202"><sup class="versenum">6 </sup>He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-7" id="en-NASB-24203"><sup class="versenum">7 </sup>Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
<span class="text Matt-28-8" id="en-NASB-24204"><sup class="versenum">8 </sup>And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-9" id="en-NASB-24205"><sup class="versenum">9 </sup>And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-10" id="en-NASB-24206"><sup class="versenum">10 </sup>Then Jesus *said to them, <span class="woj">“Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-28-11" id="en-NASB-24207"><sup class="versenum">11 </sup>Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.</span> <span class="text Matt-28-12" id="en-NASB-24208"><sup class="versenum">12 </sup>And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,</span> <span class="text Matt-28-13" id="en-NASB-24209"><sup class="versenum">13 </sup>and said, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’</span> <span class="text Matt-28-14" id="en-NASB-24210"><sup class="versenum">14 </sup>And if this should come to the governor’s ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble.”</span> <span class="text Matt-28-15" id="en-NASB-24211"><sup class="versenum">15 </sup>And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, <i>and is</i> to this day.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<br />
<span class="text Matt-27-15" id="en-NASB-24145"><sup class="versenum">15 </sup>Now at <i>the</i> feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people <i>any</i> one prisoner whom they wanted.</span> <span class="text Matt-27-16" id="en-NASB-24146"><sup class="versenum">16 </sup>At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.</span> <span class="text Matt-27-17" id="en-NASB-24147"><sup class="versenum">17 </sup>So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you?

<a href="http://www.nathanrouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/JimElliot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.nathanrouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/JimElliot.png" height="462" width="640" /></a></div>
Sometimes God just kicks you in the pants and wakes you up. Here is one
of those moments. Jim Elliot was a missionary who was killed while
trying to reach a people group who had never heard of the gospel. His
story is told in a number of books, movies (like "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-gg27Ltf98">End of the Spear</a>"
which I highly recommend) and documentaries (like "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWArGUozZok">Beyond the Gates of Splendor</a>" which I also highly recommend).<br />
<br />
Here is what he said:<br />
<blockquote>
Our
young men are going into the professional fields because they don't
'feel called' to the mission field. We don't need a call; we need a kick
in the pants. We must begin thinking in terms of 'going out,' and stop
our weeping because 'they won't come in.' Who wants to step into an
igloo? The tombs themselves are not colder than the churches. May God
send us forth.</blockquote>
Amen! We should go out rather than
expect them to come in. This is exactly what Paul says about the local
church (Ephesians 4:12). The primary responsibility of the local church
is to train believers for the purpose of going out into the world to
reach the lost. Those reached then come to the church to be trained and
sent out. Let Jim Elliot's words ring in our ears tonight.<br />
<br />
Sometimes we just need a Divine kick in the pants.<br />

Of all of the apparent contradictions skeptics point out in Scripture, one almost universally used regards the death of Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. There are only two texts in the New Testament that mention his death and, on the surface, appear to tell two very different stories. In Matthew's narrative, it says:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="text Matt-27-3" id="en-NASB-24133"><sup class="versenum">3 </sup>Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,</span> <span class="text Matt-27-4" id="en-NASB-24134"><sup class="versenum">4 </sup>saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See <i>to that</i> yourself!”</span> <span class="text Matt-27-5" id="en-NASB-24135"><sup class="versenum">5 </sup>And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.</span> <span class="text Matt-27-6" id="en-NASB-24136"><sup class="versenum">6 </sup>The
chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to
put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.”</span> <span class="text Matt-27-7" id="en-NASB-24137"><sup class="versenum">7 </sup>And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers.</span> <span class="text Matt-27-8" id="en-NASB-24138"><sup class="versenum">8 </sup>For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. -Matthew 27:3-8</span></blockquote>
While Luke writes in Acts:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="text Acts-1-15" id="en-NASB-26939"><sup class="versenum">15 </sup>At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said,</span> <span class="text Acts-1-16" id="en-NASB-26940"><sup class="versenum">16 </sup>“Brethren, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.</span> <span class="text Acts-1-17" id="en-NASB-26941"><sup class="versenum">17 </sup>For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry.”</span> <span class="text Acts-1-18" id="en-NASB-26942"><sup class="versenum">18 </sup>(Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.</span> <span class="text Acts-1-19" id="en-NASB-26943"><sup class="versenum">19 </sup>And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) -Acts 1:15-19</span> <span class="text Acts-1-20" id="en-NASB-26944"></span></blockquote>
So which is it? Did he hang himself or did he die from falling off a cliff?<br />
<br />
A number of solutions have been proposed. Usually, inerrantists like myself suggest that both are reconcilable rather easily. For example, Matthew is correct in suggesting that Judas hanged himself shortly after returning the blood money. From there, Luke's account picks up to what happened to Judas' body in that the branch might have broken or the rope might has ripped or came untied while he was dangling over a cliff.<br />
<br />
I believe this solution remains a possibility and ample supporters can easily be provided here. Before moving on, however, it is important when dealing with such apparent contradictions to consider the theology of each writer. In Matthew's case, for example, it is possible that the Evangelists is wanting to juxtapose a number of things. First, Matthew juxtaposes the repentance of Peter at the end of chapter 26 (who runs to Christ) and of Judas (who runs away from him). Secondly, there seems to be a juxtaposition between the deaths of Judas (suicide) and Jesus (sacrifice). Both are cursed in that they both hang from a tree (compare Deut. 21:23 and Gal. 3:13). Judas, on the one hand, hangs condemned for his own sins. Jesus, on the other hand, hangs as the substitute for the sins of the world.<br />
<br />
With that said, there is another possibility rarely considered. While discussing the doctrine of inerrancy in his systematic theology, <i>Christian Theology</i>, Dr. Millard Erickson writes:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Difficulties in explaining the biblical text should not be prejudged as indications of error. It is better to wait for the remainder of the data to come in, with the confidence that if we had all the data, the problems could be resolved. In some cases, the data may never come in. Once a tell has been excavated, it has been excavated, whether done carefully by a skilled team of archaeologists, or with a bulldozer, or by a group of thieves looking for valuable artifacts of precious metal. It is encouraging, however, that the trend is toward the resolution of difficulties as more data come in. Some of the severe problems of a century ago, such as the unknown Sargon mentioned by Isaiah (20:1), have been satisfactorily explained, and without artificial contortions. And even the puzzle of the death of Judas seems now to have a workable an reasonable solution.<br />
<br />
The specific word in Acts 1:18 that caused the difficulty regarding the death of Judas is [prenes]. For a long period of time it was understood to mean only "falling headlong." Twentieth-century investigations of ancient papyri, however, have revealed that this word has another meaning in Koine Greek. It also means ‘swelling up.’ It is now possible to hypothesize an end of Judas’s life that seems to accommodate all the data, but without the artificiality found in Gaussen’s handling of the problem. Having hanged himself, Judas was not discovered for some time. In such a situation the visceral organs begin to degenerate first, causing a swelling of the abdomen characteristic of cadavers that have not been properly embalmed. And so, ‘swelling up [Judas] burst open in the middle and his bowels gushed out.’ While there is not way of knowing whether this is what actually took place, it seems to be a workable and adequate resolution of the difficulty. (262-263)
</blockquote>
So which is it? Ultimately, it doesn't matter. The accounts are clearly reconcilable without forcing, reinterpreting, or ignoring one or the other. I prefer Erickson's proposal but find the more commonly used explanation equally as possible.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="text Matt-26-47"><sup class="versenum">47 </sup>While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, <i>who came</i> from the chief priests and elders of the people.</span> <span class="text Matt-26-48" id="en-NASB-24103"><sup class="versenum">48 </sup>Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-49" id="en-NASB-24104"><sup class="versenum">49 </sup>Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.</span> <span class="text Matt-26-50" id="en-NASB-24105"><sup class="versenum">50 </sup>And Jesus said to him, <span class="woj">“Friend, <i>do</i> what you have come for.”</span> Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="text Matt-26-51" id="en-NASB-24106"><sup class="versenum">51 </sup>And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.</span> <span class="text Matt-26-52" id="en-NASB-24107"><sup class="versenum">52 </sup>Then Jesus *said to him, <span class="woj">“Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.</span></span> <span class="text Matt-26-53" id="en-NASB-24108"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum">53 </sup>Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?</span></span> <span class="text Matt-26-54" id="en-NASB-24109"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum">54 </sup>How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, <i>which say</i> that it must happen this way?”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-26-55" id="en-NASB-24110"><sup class="versenum">55 </sup>At that time Jesus said to the crowds, <span class="woj">“Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as <i>you would</i> against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.</span></span> <span class="text Matt-26-56" id="en-NASB-24111"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum">56 </sup>But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets.”</span> Then all the disciples left Him and fled.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-26-57"><sup class="versenum">57 </sup>Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.</span> <span class="text Matt-26-58" id="en-NASB-24113"><sup class="versenum">58 </sup>But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-26-59" id="en-NASB-24114"><sup class="versenum">59 </sup>Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.</span> <span class="text Matt-26-60" id="en-NASB-24115"><sup class="versenum">60 </sup>They did not find <i>any</i>, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,</span> <span class="text Matt-26-61" id="en-NASB-24116"><sup class="versenum">61 </sup>and said, “This man stated, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.’”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-62" id="en-NASB-24117"><sup class="versenum">62 </sup>The high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-63" id="en-NASB-24118"><sup class="versenum">63 </sup>But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-64" id="en-NASB-24119"><sup class="versenum">64 </sup>Jesus *said to him, <span class="woj">“You have said it <i>yourself</i>; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power</span>, and <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">coming on the clouds of heaven</span>.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-26-65" id="en-NASB-24120"><sup class="versenum">65 </sup>Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;</span> <span class="text Matt-26-66" id="en-NASB-24121"><sup class="versenum">66 </sup>what do you think?” They answered, “He deserves death!”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-26-67" id="en-NASB-24122"><sup class="versenum">67 </sup>Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,</span> <span class="text Matt-26-68" id="en-NASB-24123"><sup class="versenum">68 </sup>and said, “Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-26-69"><sup class="versenum">69 </sup>Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-70" id="en-NASB-24125"><sup class="versenum">70 </sup>But he denied <i>it</i> before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-71" id="en-NASB-24126"><sup class="versenum">71 </sup>When he had gone out to the gateway, another <i>servant-girl</i> saw him and *said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-72" id="en-NASB-24127"><sup class="versenum">72 </sup>And again he denied <i>it</i> with an oath, “I do not know the man.”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-73" id="en-NASB-24128"><sup class="versenum">73 </sup>A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Surely you too are <i>one</i> of them; for even the way you talk gives you away.”</span> <span class="text Matt-26-74" id="en-NASB-24129"><sup class="versenum">74 </sup>Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.</span> <span class="text Matt-26-75" id="en-NASB-24130"><sup class="versenum">75 </sup>And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, <span class="woj">“Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”</span> And he went out and wept bitterly.</span></blockquote>

My text for next Sunday is
Matthew 26:30-56 which centers around the events leading up to and
including Jesus' agony in Gethsamane. <a href="http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/2384/restoring-deserting-disciples">In his sermon on verses 30-35</a>,
which centers on Jesus' prediction that Peter and the other disciples
would forsake him, John MacArthur suggests that Peter, of all the
disciples, was most like Judas.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
And
then there is a marvelous contrast between pride and humility
here...between pride and humility. The pride comes through in the mouth
of Peter. Peter answered, although no one was asking, frankly, "And
said to Him," he just mouthed off, that's all, "Though all men shall be
offended because of Thee, yet will I never be offended." And you can
just see him looking at the other guys saying, "You may go, I'll stay, I
am the truest of the true." Proud, self-confident Peter...coward,
weak, ignorant but didn't know it. He is a tough case. My own feeling
is he's the closest to Judas of all the disciples. Except for the fact
that he believed, he's very little different...very self-centered, very
egotistical, very consumptive, very proud.<br />
<br />
And you know, the guy
does not learn well. He does not learn well. "Though all men shall be
offended," everybody may be trapped, all people may be trapped, "I will
never be offended, I'll stand with You all the way."</blockquote>
You <a href="http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/2384/restoring-deserting-disciples">can read the rest here</a>.<br />
<br />
Whether or not MacArthur is right is beside the point. The main
conclusion to draw here isn't the similarities between Peter and Judas
(they are both guilty), but the differences between them. Judas
responded to guilt by committing suicide and thus stands guilty apart
from Christ. Peter, on the other hand, humbly repented and turned back
to Christ. In this sense, the two could not be more different.mcdanell99http://www.blogger.com/profile/04584791771251877677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196489687624481532.post-6038052380927565732014-06-17T12:38:00.002-07:002014-06-17T12:38:23.246-07:00June 15, 2014 | Matthew 26:17-30: The Lord' SupperSunday we discussed the famous scene of the Lord's Supper, an ordinance ordained by Christ himself.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Ripley’s Believe it or Not says that the longest love letter ever written was written in 1875 and it was written from a Parisian painter by the name of Marcel de Leclure, addressed to Magdalena de Villeray and he was so in love with her that he wanted to write, ["I love you"] in French a thousand times for every year, so it was 1875, so he wrote ["I love you"] one million eight hundred and seventy five thousand times. And not being a fool he hired a secretary to do it. But, he did not want to diminish his expression of his love, so he did not tell her to write it one million eight hundred and seventy five thousand times, but he rather dictated each one to her separately. So he said it one million eight hundred and seventy thousand times and she wrote it one million eight hundred and seventy five thousand times. And Ripley says, ‘Never was love made manifest by as great an expenditure of time and effort.’ It’s a nice thought, but that's not true. Never was love manifested by such a great expenditure of time and effort. Listen, in the first place God loved us in a way that couldn't be measured when He gave Christ, right? And secondly when we love God back with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength we love God more than that guy loved that lady and we express it not by writing something over a million times, but by a life of obedience.”</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="text Matt-22-23"><sup class="versenum">23 </sup>On that day <i>some</i> Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,</span> <span class="text Matt-22-24" id="en-NASB-23897"><sup class="versenum">24 </sup>asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘<span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother</span>.’</span> <span class="text Matt-22-25" id="en-NASB-23898"><sup class="versenum">25 </sup>Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;</span> <span class="text Matt-22-26" id="en-NASB-23899"><sup class="versenum">26 </sup>so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.</span> <span class="text Matt-22-27" id="en-NASB-23900"><sup class="versenum">27 </sup>Last of all, the woman died.</span> <span class="text Matt-22-28" id="en-NASB-23901"><sup class="versenum">28 </sup>In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had <i>married</i> her.”</span><br />
<span class="text Matt-22-29" id="en-NASB-23902"><sup class="versenum">29 </sup>But Jesus answered and said to them, <span class="woj">“You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.</span></span> <span class="text Matt-22-30" id="en-NASB-23903"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum">30 </sup>For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.</span></span> <span class="text Matt-22-31" id="en-NASB-23904"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum">31 </sup>But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:</span></span> <span class="text Matt-22-32" id="en-NASB-23905"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum">32 </sup>‘I <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob</span>’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”</span></span> <span class="text Matt-22-33" id="en-NASB-23906"><sup class="versenum">33 </sup>When the crowds heard <i>this</i>, they were astonished at His teaching.</span></blockquote>
