Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians

Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—

Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit

This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.

 

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6

 

Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

Psalm 2 - A Portrait of David

Psalm 2 - A Portrait of David

Psa 2:1-12 present the messiah in royal terms - as king and ruler. Takes the righteous man and identifies Him: anointed by God (Psa 2:2); ordained by God (Psa 2:6); son of God (Psa 2:7); and the Lord Himself (Psa 2:11). Psa 2 speaks of David as a type of Christ. David was challenged by kings around him. "Let us break those bonds" (Psa 2:3) The kings vainly act against the Messiah's sovereignty. David established his throne on Zion as a type of Christ (Psa 2:6, 1Sa 13:14). God the Father made promises to His Son (Psa 2:7-9). David, throughout the Psalms ask the Lord to deliver him from his enemies (Psa 2:8-9). "Be wise and be instructed" (Psa 2:10) means look to the Lord in humility. David is anointed as king (1Sa 16:7-13); he was hated by men. David was persecuted by Saul for 10 years. David begins to deliver Israel. He delivers Israel from the Amalekites. David is enthroned (2Sa 2-5). David takes the stronghold of Zion and it becomes the city of David (2Sa 5:6-10); he is given the Davidic covenant (2Sa 7). David's son is called God's Son. David's kingdom is constantly assaulted by heathen nations (2Sa 7:8-9). Some heathen kings chose to "kiss the son", but most hated him (2Sa 8:9, 2Sa 10:2, 1Ch 14:1). (1) Experience of David is a prophetic type of Christ. (2) The nations that hated David represent the world that hates Christ. (3) David's victories are reflected in the Psalms (Heb 5:7). "Godly fear" is the means of victory -- faith.
