КАКВО ОЗНАЧАВАТ ИЗРАЗИТЕ  “КРЪВТА НА ИСУС” И “БОЖИЯТА РЪКА”?

КАКВО ОЗНАЧАВАТ ИЗРАЗИТЕ  “КРЪВТА НА ИСУС” И “БОЖИЯТА РЪКА”?

Слушах един от Вашите подкасти, в който говорехте за истинското значение на фразата “кръвта на Исус”. Бихте ли могли да дадете по-подробна информация за тази фраза, както и за израза: “Божията ръка”?

Изразът “Божията ръка” можем да открием в някои истории, като например, когато Бог направил така, че благостта Му да мине пред Мойсей и го покрил с “ръката Си“. Какво всъщност представлява “Божията ръка”? Дали това е Неговият промисъл? Светият дух?

Задавам този въпрос, защото Библията е изпълнена с образи на докосване от Бога и днес много хора използват фразата “Бог докосна сърцето ми” или “това и това се нуждае от Божието докосване”.

Но какво всъщност означава това?

M.

Библията е пълна с всевъзможни символи и образи, предназначени да ни помогнат да разберем по-дълбоки и значими истини. Но една от опасностите при тълкуването на символиката е, даден символ да се превърне в основен фокус на нашето внимание или въз основа на него да си правим окончателни заключения. Чудесен пример е този, който споменахте – “кръвта на Христос”.

В някои среди на християнството “кръвта на Христос” се счита за свещена, мистична или дори магическа. Съществува разбиране, че кръвта на Христос е нещо повече от символ на по-дълбока истина. Вместо това се смята, че тя е реално лечебно или очистващо средство. Използваме изразите, че сме “очистени от кръвта”, “умити в кръвта” и пеем песни за “силата в кръвта”. Но дали наистина има сила в кръвта? Дали кръвта, тоест самите червени кръвни телца на Исус, ни очистват от греха?

Когато Исус казва: „Истина, истина ви казвам, ако не ядете плътта на Човешкия Син, и не пиете кръвта Му, нямате живот в себе си. Който се храни с плътта Ми и пие кръвта Ми, има вечен живот; и Аз ще го възкреся в последния ден. Защото Моята плът е истинска храна, и Моята кръв е истинско питие. Който се храни с Моята плът и Моята кръв, той пребъдва в Мене, и Аз в него. (Йоан 6:53-56), дали Исус е говорил за буквална кръв – за канибализъм? Разбира се, че не! В кръвта няма никаква сила. Силата е в Този, който е пролял кръвта Си!

Кръвта е символ на истината за Бога, която унищожава лъжите и ни прави свободни. Исус, бидейки Бог, е източникът на цялата истина “Аз съм пътят, истината и животът.” (Йоан 14:6). Следователно цялата истина произлиза от Исус. Освен това “животът е в кръвта” (Левит 17:11, 14). Следователно кръвта на Исус представлява и живота на Исус. Така че символиката на поглъщането на кръвта просто означава, че трябва да поглъщаме истината за Бога, разкрита от Исус, която разсейва лъжите и спечелва доверието ни. А след това чрез вяра трябва да приемем Светия Дух и да участваме в живота на Христос, в Неговия съвършен характер, така че вече не ние да живеем, а Христос да живее в нас! Както казва Петър, ние действително ставаме участници в божественото естество. Нашите характери стават като този на Исус, но това не се постига чрез физическата “кръв” на Христос, а чрез това, което Неговата кръв символизира – истината за Бога и Неговия съвършен характер.

Що се отнася до “Божията ръка”, ръката е символ на сила и действие или активност. Следователно “Божията ръка” символизира Божието действие или активната роля на Бога в дадено обстоятелство или в живота на човека.

Гръцката дума за ръка χείρ [cheir /khire/] означава не само част от тялото, но също така и нечия “помощ/съдействие/посредничество”. А когато се прилага за Бога, символизира Неговата мощ, действие и сила. Коренът на думата „хиропрактик“ – човек, който лекува с полагане на ръце, е точно тази гръцка дума за ръка.

Интересно е, че думата, използвана за благодат, както в случая с „Божията благодат“, е тясно свързана с думата „ръка“. Тя е: χάρις [charis /khar-ece/] и се превежда като благоволение или благодат. Вярвам, че Божията благодат е действена и е нещо повече от отношение на прошка, доброта или благоволение. Благодатта е активното действие на Бога с цел спасение и изцеление на Неговата вселена. Така старозаветната “Божия ръка” и новозаветната “благодат” са тясно свързани по смисъл и предават активната роля на Бога в това да служи на Творението си чрез Своята изцелителна любов!

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

R. K., Anderson, SC, USA

 

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

B. L.M., North Plains, OR, USA

 

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Liz H., Port Angeles, WA, USA

 

 

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

L. G., Oakland, MI, USA

 

Testimony 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Laura P., United Kingdom

 

Testimony 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Helen D., London, England

 

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

 

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!

Tony P., CA, USA

 

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

M.T., USA

 

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!
