Ethics From the New Testament

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Jeff Jones

19800514 ROR - As Encouragement To Ethics - Textual Considerations From The New Testament - Rev. Tommy Jones

Last week, we learned that #ethics are the standard by which we judge behavior. What can we learn about ethics by looking at the New Testament of the Bible? How did Jesus Christ approach the subject of ethics? How do we as a society approach this subject? Did Jesus strike down all of the laws from the Old Testament or did He build on those laws? What did Paul say about the law and how did it compare to what Jesus said? What about the other writers of epistles in the New Testament? What was common among all the lessons Christ gave on ethics? To whom are we responsible? Speaking of ethics, why doesn’t the New Testament condemn slavery more strongly?

Next week we will look at what the Bible says about ethics and whether they are affected by situations.

Prophecy

19800109 Role of Religion Prophesy - Rev. Tommy Jones

Sure, there is a debate that can be held between #Christianity and #Science when it comes to #History. But, when it comes to #Prophecy is it a one sided argument? Science is mostly concerned with finding out what happened and why. But the Bible not only looks at what happened and why, but also gives us fulfilled prophecies and others that are yet to occur. What are the probabilities that Jesus Christ would fulfill all of the prophecies about a coming Messiah? What are some of the arguments that some people have posited to nullify biblical prophecy? What about the prophecies concerning cities and nations, have we seen any of them come true? What does all of this mean in light of the end time prophecy in the Bible?

Next week we will begin looking at what the Bible says about maintaining our health.

To Be Continued

19840617 To Be Continued - Rev. Tommy Jones

How best do we carry on with the ministry of #JesusChrist? He sent His followers out to the ends of the Earth to spread the #Gospel (Good news). But what should that look like? What were Jesus’ thoughts and feelings toward the poor? Is there more than one kind of poverty? Is His message just for the poor? What about the broken hearted? He also mentioned helping those held captive. My mind goes immediately to the victims of human trafficking, but as Brother Tommy points out there are many other types of captivity. How do we restore sight to the blind? How do we comfort the bruised? What does it mean to proclaim the Year of the Lord? So who are we to reach out to with this message?

Word of Coronation

19840610 Word Of Coronation - Rev. Tommy Jones

Last week, we heard #JesusChrist speak His last words to us before His ascension to His throne in Heaven. But, this week we hear what the angels said right after to give us hope for the future. I mean, if Christ had told us to go out and tell the World and then went back to Heaven, that would be great. Right? But wait, there’s more. Think about this miracle, Jesus ascended back to the Father in a physical body. That should tell us something about the floating on a cloud and playing a harp idea. How long was Jesus on Earth in His new body after the resurrection? Where have we heard this number before? Probably the most intriguing thing about the new body to Brother Tommy was the recorded incidence of Jesus eating. What did His 40 days of appearances prove to anyone who is looking for God? Why did He leave? What did the angels say about the future that could be good news or bad depending on your current relationship to Jesus Christ?

Word of Commission

19840603 Word Of Commission - Rev. Tommy Jones

Why didn’t #JesusChrist give #instructions to His disciples before He was crucified? How much more weight did it hold when He gave them marching orders after the Resurrection? Where did Jesus have everyone meet for this delivery of a blueprint for the future? What power does Christ claim to have? Whose side does that make you want to be on? To whom was this commission directed? Once again Jesus packs a world of instruction into a short, simple directive. What comforting promise is given along with this mandate?

Word of Confirmation

19840520 Word Of Confirmation - Rev. Tommy Jones

How long did #JesusChrist stick around after His #resurrection, appearing to His disciples and various other people? What were His #Last Words? To whom did Jesus reveal Himself on the road to Emmaus after His resurrection? You would think it would be one of His inner circle, but it wasn’t. How is this comforting to us? How does this episode reflect how God concerns Himself with our mood? How did they not know immediately who Jesus was? Would the Lord have really kept going down the road and not revealed Himself if they had not invited Him to stay? What emotional response told them that Jesus was who He said He was? What did they do about it?

Word of Committal

19840408 Word Of Committal - Rev. Tommy Jones

Today, we come to the very #LastWords of #Jesus on the cross. But, thankfully they are not the last words Christ would speak on Earth. What can these words teach us about how to live? How to die? What does this phrase have to do with a Hebrew bedtime prayer? How does our relationship to God, the Father, affect our outlook on death? How do we get a relationship with God (through Jesus Christ, His Son)?
