Episode notes
Christianity Comes To You
- Timothy Keller argues Christianity is something that comes upon you rather than a set of beliefs you merely choose.
- Jesus actively pursues and reveals truth to people rather than passively waiting for them to decide.
Twofold Prophetic Ministry
- Keller explains Jesus' prophetic ministry has earthly (external word) and heavenly (internal illumination) aspects.
- The external Scripture and the internal illumination together produce true spiritual understanding.
Light And Eyes Both Needed
- Keller compares spiritual sight to physical sight needing both light and functioning eyes.
- Without Jesus' internal work, people can have Biblical propositions but lack the capacity to appreciate them.
