He believes the Abrahamic Covenant was fulfilled by Yeshua and any blessings, once given to Israel, now belong to the church. Wright, like Augustine, Chrysotym and so many others uses spiritual gymnastics to arrive at his theological conclusions. Wright is brilliant in many respects, but to agree with him theologically is to call God a liar. God's covenants are eternal..... eternal means forever. Is God a liar? N.T. Wright thinks so.

This is one of his favorite songs to play along with.

But when we speak of the good news, we often equate that with the Cross-work of Jesus, his dying in our place, and leave it at that. I think it's pretty clear that the New Testament gospel is more than that.

John the Baptist speaks of a coming kingdom and king who will baptize with the Spirit. When Jesus is baptized, the heavens open and the Spirit descends upon him, anointing him as the Christ (king) of the new kingdom of (from) heaven. Then the Spirit leads him into the stark wilderness where Satan will test the new king (the son who pleases his heavenly Father) with the pursuit of the prosperity and power of the kingdoms of earth. The poor king passes the test, and will please his Father through the lowly way of servanthood and suffering (ending in the cross). Then he begins to call disciples to follow him; they will be his kingdom; he will be their king. He teaches them that the "poor in the Spirit" will be blessed with the presence of the kingdom of (and from) heaven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582021191140815433.post-75297966401862909972012-08-24T21:54:16.350-04:002012-08-24T21:54:16.350-04:00Don't mean to rush you, but you're one of ...Don't mean to rush you, but you're one of the few rays of light in this vast spiritual wilderness.
