Bible Suite, Movement
3 – The Gospels
Our first ever Skype episode – still working out the kinks,
but it is promising. For this episode Jonathan is joined by his old friend and
one-time mentor Phin Marr. Jonathan and Phin ponder why it is that we have four
different stories of Jesus. Really, shouldn’t one be enough?
Each gospel offers a different perspective of Jesus, a
different approach and understanding of who Jesus is and there may be some wisdom
to this. You can never know someone fully through just one perspective, so with
four we find a greater depth to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Perhaps
then you can try to offer a fifth perspective (and we always like a fifth) –
which would be yours. Listen to the episode, their pithy summary of the
different gospels, and consider what your story of Jesus might be.
Rialage –
Phin is from New Jersey, so he is always anger. However, he
is especially angry about people telling lies to convince youth to become
Christian. Are we really that desperate to bring people to Christ?
Jonathan is angry about the remake of the Left Behind movie. Wasn’t once enough?
Scripture-
2 Corinthians 5:16-17
Free yourself from literal reading!
Watcha’ Into
Phin isn’t really sure what he is into. He certainly isn’t
into the pop radio top 10, but recommends that people listen to the Beatles
classic, The White Album. He also
likes Flash, and Gotham
Jonathan is reading A
Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. He has a blog post here.
