Jezus spłaca nasz dług Bogu

Jezus spłaca nasz dług Bogu

Właśnie znalazłem ten cytat i chciałem zapytać, jak go zrozumieć:

„Sługa, który okradł swego pana, nie miał nic, czym mógłby to zło naprawić. Grzesznik, który okradł Boga z lat służby, nie ma możliwości oddania swego długu. Jezus staje między grzesznikiem a Bogiem, mówiąc: Ja spłacę dług. Zachowajmy grzesznika; będę cierpiał zamiast niego.” (Review & Herald, 14 grudnia 1911, ust.16)

Jak mamy to zrozumieć? Wszystko zależy od tego, przez jaką soczewkę patrzymy na ‘prawo’.

Jeśli wierzymy, że Boże rządy są takie, jak starorzymskie rządy dyktatorskie, gdzie prawo (nie zawierające samo w sobie żadnych konsekwencji) jest narzucane pod groźbą kary oraz wymaga nadzoru, wówczas czytelnik widzi w powyższym cytacie prawne odpłatności – o których tak naprawdę nie ma tu mowy.

Jeśli jednak zaczniemy od poznania Boga takim, jak objawił Go Jezus – zrozumiemy Jego charakter miłości, zdamy sobie sprawę z tego, że Bóg powołał życie do istnienia na zasadzie protokołów stworzenia, które są wyrazem Jego charakteru miłości – wówczas czytając takie cytaty dochodzimy do zupełnie innych wniosków.

Patrząc przez pryzmat prawa miłości uświadamiamy sobie, że ludzkość została stworzona w kontekście niebiańskiej wojny o charakter Boga. Kiedy Bóg stworzył człowieka, aniołowie już istnieli (zob. Hioba 38:3‑7). Ludzkość została obdarzona życiem, zdolnością do rozmnażania się i władania, jak również światem tętniącym pięknem i życiem. Bóg stworzył rasę ludzką w zaufaniu, że ujawni prawdę o Jego charakterze. Tak samo, jak Bóg Ojciec, Bóg Syn i Duch Święty wchodzą w jedność miłości i stwarzają istoty na swój obraz, tak też ludzkość została stworzona jako mężczyzna i kobieta na obraz Boży, by zjednoczyć się w miłości i dać początek istotom na swój obraz. Jakiej lekcji Adam i Ewa mogliby udzielić, gdyby pozostali lojalni wobec Boga i mieli dzieci w bezgrzesznym świecie? Czy znęcaliby się nad nimi, zdominowali je lub zniewolili? A może raczej w samopoświęceniu chroniliby, wychowywali i kochali je, stając się dla nich błogosławieństwem?

Biblia mówi, że jesteśmy podręcznikiem – teatrem / widowiskiem – dla aniołów (1 Koryntian 4:9). Czego nauczyliby się aniołowie, gdyby Adam i Ewa pozostali wierni Bogu? Obserwując ich życie, powiedzieliby: „Och, teraz rozumiemy. Bóg nie stworzył nas po to, byśmy Mu usługiwali; On sam bezustannie daje z siebie dla naszego dobra i szczęścia!” Kłamstwa szatana wyszłyby na jaw!

Jednak Adam i Ewa zawiedli Boże zaufanie i przedstawili Go w fałszywym świetle. Poprzez swój zły wybór wyrządzili wiele szkody zarówno Świątyni Ducha jak i całemu stworzeniu. Ludzkość nie była w stanie naprawić tych szkód, odwrócić krzywd ani odwołać zniesławienia Bożego charakteru. Tak więc człowiek był winien Bogu dług moralny, dług zaufania, dług miłości, dług zmarnowanych możliwości i środków – a nie dług prawny! Jezus ujawnił prawdę o Bogu, rozwinął w sobie doskonały ludzki charakter, wypełnił cel, w jakim został stworzony Adam – i dzięki temu stworzenie zostanie odnowione, co jest równoznaczne z anulowaniem długu poprzez naprawienie szkód (uleczenie) i spełnienie celu stworzenia człowieka.

Bóg jest wspaniały! Zapraszam Cię, byś zachwycił się pięknem Jego charakteru oraz jeszcze bardziej upodobnił się do Niego!

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

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.

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

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 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!

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

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!

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Jeff D., Reading, MA, USA

 

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Elssy P., Modesto, CA, USA

 

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.
