Study Notes

Review of "More Than a Carpenter" Ch 6

  • The chapter focuses on the concept of historicity, specifically the criteria for evaluating historical accuracy.

The Life and Miracles of Jesus Christ

  • A miracle is defined as an extraordinary and astonishing event attributed to divine power.
  • Miracles serve several purposes: display God's power over creation, confirm God's messengers, and demonstrate God's salvation or judgment.

Categories of Miracles in the Old and New Testaments

  • Miracles fall into three categories of revelation:
    • The time of Moses
    • The time of Elijah and Elisha
    • The time of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit working through the apostles

Types of Jesus' Miracles

  • Healing miracles: recovery from sickness and diseases
  • Nature miracles: controlling natural events (e.g., calming a storm, walking on water)
  • Exorcisms: casting out demons
  • Resurrection: bringing the dead back to life

Purposes of Jesus' Miracles

  • Proving Jesus is God: demonstrating control over creation
  • Showing Jesus' power to heal
  • Demonstrating Jesus as the promised Messiah (fulfilling prophecy)

Sabbath Miracles

  • Jesus performed miracles on the Sabbath to correct misconceptions about the Sabbath and Sabbath-keeping.
  • Specific examples presented are the healing of the man with the withered hand and the woman healed of infirmity in Luke.

Jesus: Lord of Man and the Sabbath

  • The Sabbath was created for humanity, not humanity for the Sabbath.

Healing on the Sabbath

  • Case study: curing the withered hand (Matthew 12, Mark 3, Luke 6)
  • Jesus' response to religious leaders questioning the healing on the Sabbath: whether it's lawful to do good or evil to save life or to destroy.

Woman with Infirmity

  • Jesus heals a woman who suffered from infirmity (Luke 13)
  • Religious leader's reaction: questioning the healing on the Sabbath; Jesus responding with a critique of hypocrisy, comparing it to daily practices like taking care of animals/pets.

Jesus' Response to the Opposition

  • Jesus argues that acts of compassion (such as looking after an animal) can be performed on the Sabbath, implying that it is a day for doing good rather than forbidding it completely.

The Impotent Man at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5)

  • Jesus heals an impotent man at Bethesda on the Sabbath.
  • Religious leader's response: challenging the action; Jesus' response defending his actions. The healing caused the Jews to persecute Jesus.

The Man Born Blind (John 9)

  • Jesus heals a man born blind on the Sabbath.
  • Religious leaders react to the healing by questioning the legality and the source of Jesus' authority.
  • The man healed defended Jesus, stating Jesus made clay and opened his eyes.
