“You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.” What does this mean? Psalm 82 showcases God taking his place among the divine council in the midst of the gods. Jon and Doug discuss how this Psalm is truly about Jesus and His work to deliver His people from darkness.
“I never knew you; depart from me,” are words in Matthew 7 many of us fear we will hear from Jesus. Should we live in fear that we will finally be rejected by Christ for not doing enough? Was that his intention? Or did he mean something else?
Are you a legalist or an antinomian? Most people would claim they are neither. But many Christians don’t know what to do with God’s law. Jon and Justin talk about the law and the gospel–and how it is Paul could say he delighted in God’s law.
“Take up your cross and follow me.” What did Jesus mean when he said that? Is he calling us to hate our wives, kids, and parents? Is he calling us to be willing to suffer anything if we are going to be his followers? Is he laying down a test of radical discipleship? Or is he calling us to something else?
