Lesson 8: Discovering Christ

Gwynne Johnson — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 05:00:00 +0000

Messiah

Messiah [Heb mashiyach—to anoint or consecrate; derived from the root mashach—to rub with oil, paint, anoint] is one who has been anointed or consecrated for a special office or function. Kings, high priests, and several prophets were anointed or specially set apart to perform their office. Furniture in the Temple was anointed to set it apart for service. Even Cyrus, a pagan king of Persia, was God’s anointed deliverer of Israel (Isa 45:1).

Bless/Blessing

To bless [Heb barak—to kneel, bless, be blessed, curse; used more than 300 times in the Old Testament] is derived from a root meaning “to kneel,” by implication in adoration of God. God’s blessings are upon individuals first used with Adam and Eve in Gen 1:22, 28), nations (Gen 12:1-3), His entire creation, and uniquely upon the righteous who obey Him. God blesses the obedient (Ps 1:1), as well as the disobedient, who have received His forgiveness (Ps 32:1).

Lesson 5: Danger Zone

Gwynne Johnson — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 05:00:00 +0000

Sin

Sin [Heb hatta’t—offense, sin; root chata—to miss; used 293 times in the Old Testament] is to miss the mark or standard established by God’s Word. It can be an offense against God or man, and was first used when God warned Cain that sin was crouching at the door desiring to master him (Gen 4:7). Transgression [Heb pasha— break away from authority, rebel, revolt; used 134 times in the Old Testament] is willful rebellion against and independence from God.

Lesson 4: Danger Zone

Gwynne Johnson — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 05:00:00 +0000

Trouble

Trouble [Heb tsar—narrow, a tight place; root tsarar—to cramp, oppress, vex, trouble] vividly portrays the concept of being confined in a tight place, crowded by an opponent or adversary, afflicted, experiencing anguish, distress, sorrow, or tribulation.

Lesson 2: Comfort Zone

Gwynne Johnson — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 05:00:00 +0000

Heart

The heart [Heb leb— over 860 times; Gk cardia— over 85 times] is used frequently in the Bible to refer to the actual physical organ, as well as to the innermost being, the source of knowledge and understanding, will and desires, emotions and moral conscience, rebellion and pride. The first mention of the heart was not in the context of romantic love, but God’s observation of man that “every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Gen 6:5).
