Forgotten Forever
“The gospel is the message that through Christ—through His sinless life, His death, burial, and resurrection—Israel finally got it right. Because of Christ, and through faith in Him, the incident with the golden calf can be forgotten forever.”
American Milk & Honey, p. 197
And Don’t Give It a Second Thought . . .
A Beautiful Hinge
“The apostle Paul taught that the blessings to an obedient Israel in Deuteronomy are promises that are available to Gentiles through Christ (Eph. 6:2). This reality is the hinge upon which his argument in Romans 11 turns.”

The Far Edges
“I ask that this movement would be the result

One or the Other
“Jesus is either the Messiah promised in the Old Testament, or He is not. There is no real way to split the difference on such a question. If the claim is false, then Christians are guilty of perpetuating the most preposterous fraud ever. If the claim is true, then pious Jews studying the Old Testament are like Shakespeare scholars who have devoted their lives to the study of Hamlet, but who have failed to recognize the prince of Denmark. As just mentioned, it is not possible to have Jesus be the Messiah ‘for the Christians and not the Messiah ‘for the Jews.’ That might seem like a mild form of relativism, but relativism always metastasizes.”

A much better sermon than what I will preach.”
