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 Prophecy of Christ

Psalm 2 - A Prophecy of Christ

Psa 84:7 those on the highway toward God He watches. The Psalms outline: Book #1 Chapters 1-41: coming death and victory of the Righteous Man on behalf of sinners. Book #2 Chapters 42-72: speaks of Providence of God in history and His sustaining and discipline of Israel. Book #3 Chapters 73-89: Remnant waiting for Messiahs return during tribulation. Book #4 Chapters 90-106: Messiah reigning in Zion during the Millennium. Book #5 Chapters 107-150: Ultimate triumph of God's righteous government during the new heavens and earth -- the Kingdom of God a universal reality. Psa 2:1-12 has four speakers and segments. (1) Psa 2:1-3 presents the voice of the world. Direct fulfillment of Jesus Christ's rejection (Joh 1:10-11, Joh 19:15, Act 4:24). (2) Second voice is Almighty God (Psa 4-6). He is Sovereignty seated in heaven, laughing at man, speaking to them in wrath (Rom 1:18) because of their rejection. Yet His King will prevail (Psa 2:6, Psa 48:2). (3) Third voice is of the Messiah himself (Psa 2:7-9). This proclamation was made on resurrection morning (Act 13:28-33, Rom 1:3-4). The Son has a right to ascend to the Throne (Psa 110:1-7). Messiah reflects on the promises of the Father (Psa 2:8). He has absolute authority; when Christ choses to execute judgment, the nations will be destroyed (Psa 2:9, Rev 19:15). (4) The fourth voice is the Holy Spirit (Psa 2:10-12). The voice of the Spirit is an invitation, holding out mercy. The Spirit extends a call to submission and service (Psa 2:10-11) -- joyful, humble and respectful. The voice of the Spirit is a call to faith (Psa 2:12, Psa 85:10).
