Tension in the Text
Luke says Jesus healed a blind man approaching Jericho. Matthew says, leaving with two men. Mark remembers one and names him Bartimaeus. The details don’t match perfectly, but the seams aren’t cracks, they’re stitches. Scripture’s differences don’t weaken the story; they reveal the Savior at its center. Terry shares “Tension in the Text,” a message that explores how faith holds tension and why Jesus still stops for anyone who cries out for mercy.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
