Top Highlights
“The man who accepts the invitation but, by wearing his everyday, soiled clothes, shows only contempt for the purpose of the occasion, is no more worthy than those who rejected the invitation. They spurned the invitation to the feast; he disdains the feast while actually attending it. In effect, he has not really accepted the invitation, since the invitation is not just to be physically present at the feast but to participate in the king’s rejoicing over the marriage of his son.” (Page 487)
“Therefore we should ask, of course, what is the intrinsic relationship between Jesus’ thirst and his laying down his life and going back to the Father’s house? How can his thirst be interpreted in the context of completing the Father’s will? How can Jesus’ thirst be related to his death?” (Page 497)
“John understood the thirst of the psalm as a spiritual thirst, which in an ironic way was quenched with vinegar” (Page 506)
“These verses consider the thesis that a Christian’s body plays a vital role in the process of salvation: it is designed for the Lord (v. 13); it will be resurrected (v. 14); it is a member of Christ’s body (v. 15); it serves as a temple of the Holy Spirit (v. 19); and its owner is God (vv. 19–20).” (Pages 303–304)
“Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, died, the holy spirit was withdrawn (נסתלקה רוח הקדשׁ) from Israel” (Page 33)
