Episode notes
Israel's Role
- God chose one family, Israel, to be set apart, to bring blessing to all nations.
- This creates tension with the idea of all humanity being God's image.
Challenging Tradition
- The disciples of Jesus challenged long-held Jewish traditions by suggesting that certain markers weren't necessary for everyone to join God's family.
- This caused tension and debate within the community.
Pentecost Reversal
- During Pentecost, Jews from 15 nations heard the disciples speak in their own languages.
- This event reversed the scattering of languages at Babel and signaled the unification of God's people.
