We'll be continuing our conversation today on Foundations about the identity of the suffering man of sorrows described in Isaiah 53. There's great debate between Jews and Christians, and sometimes Isaiah 53 is completely left out of Synagogue readings. The identity of this man is essential to know.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Foundations we???re going to look into Isaiah 53 again, and this time focus a little more on the identity of the man who suffers so much.

Very few people get excited when reading the book of Leviticus, because it???s a long list of laws and rules and consequences. However, what makes God???s Law so unique and distinct from the rest of the ancient world, was the equality that God???s Law demanded of His people. No separate rules for the wealthy and elite. That???s our focus today on Foundations.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you???ve ever studied different cultures in the ancient world, you learn pretty quickly that when it came to the law, there were different standards and consequences depending on who was being tried. The wealthy, connected and elite often got away with things, or were given lenient sentences when compared to the common fold. In ancient Israel, God???s Law was different, it was a level playing field and social status was irrelevant. In God???s eyes, the Law applies equally to all. That???s the real treasure from Mt Sinai.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Foundations today we’ll keep looking at the idea that God can forget our sins, even though we know God doesn’t have a bad memory and nothing is impossible for Him.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We love the idea that when God forgives us of our sins that He doesn’t remember them anymore. After all, who wants to be reminded of every terrible thing they’ve ever said, done or thought! But, if God knows everything, how can He forget what we’ve done?Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever read a word in the Bible you didn’t understand and simply skip over it? That’s pretty normal really, but what do you do about a word that’s untranslatable and so is dropped from the Bible altogether?

We began a conversation last time regarding human beings being cracked pots, broken because of sin. Fortunately for us, our God specialises in repairing cracked pots and it’s a good thing to remind ourselves that He and He alone deserves the glory for every life He rescues and restores.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Usually referring to someone as a crackpot, means you think they’re crazy, but the Bible talks about human beings as earthen vessels, pots made of clay from God’s hand of creation. Because of sin we’re broken???kind of like cracked pots.

When we read the Bible, it’s easy to become confused about some things that are said, but that doesn’t mean what’s said is wrong. Context and culture are really important.

Paul described those of us who don’t know Christ, especially Gentile’s, as orphans, and that when we come to faith in Christ, we’re adopted in the family of God and therefore, are no longer orphans.

There's quite a bit of confusion about not only knowing who our King is, but how we're supposed to approach our King.
