The Christian and WORK - Dr Timothy R. Jennings. Ecclesiastes 9:10 NASB "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might". Dr Jennings brilliance shines in this study. He follows his guiding theory of God's "Design Law", yet is open to discussion and is very reality oriented (not just intellectual ideas). Please note that the subject presented is not about the Christian and "works", i.e. what relationship do works have to our salvation, but rather the place of constructive, energising, creative activity (mental and physical) that we are designed to engage in. The version published by Come and Reason YouTube (which includes announcements), can be found here, "2020 Q4 Lesson 11: The Christian and Work (Dec. 12)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzz-sZmtuJg I have chosen to archive this study in the Playlist "Christian Behaviour"; although I'm not fully convinced this is the final resting place. For c7 years I edited Dr Tim's Sabbath School lessons into bite-sized sections. Each hour-long study took me a day (or more) to complete. Recently I have opted for uploading short Bible readings, but when I heard this talk I just wanted to share it with as many people as possible. Please enjoy.

"This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church" Ephesians 5:25-32 NKJV 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might [g]sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, [h]of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph+5&version=NKJV ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNh0strqFog

A cartoon in a magazine years ago showed a business executive in an office standing before other executives. He was holding a box of detergent in his hands, showing it to the other men and women. He proudly pointed to the word “New” that was displayed in large red letters on the box, the implication being, of course, that the product was new. The executive then said, “It’s the ‘New’ on the box that is new.” In other words, all that changed, all that was new, was simply the word New on the box. Everything else was the same. In a sense, one could say that the new covenant is like that. The basis of the covenant, the basic hope that it has for us, its basic conditions, are the same as what was found in the old covenant. It has always been a covenant of God’s grace and mercy, a covenant based on a love that transcends human foibles and defeats. Principal Contributor: Based on previous work of Gerhard F.
