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 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 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 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia

 

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 4

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

R. V. N., South Africa

 

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 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 26

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Nancy S.

 

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.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Joleen H. GA, USA

 

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

T.E.H., Salt Lake City, UT, USA

 

Testimony 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

Dalio M.

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Melissa L.

 

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

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!

Beverly S., South Africa
