The Great Commandment
Hymn of the Day: 852 O God of mercy, God of might
Collect: Lord Jesus Christ, our great High Priest, cleanse us by the power of Your redeeming blood that in purity and peace we may worship and adore Your holy name; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Deut 6.1-9
notes: Two halves, the obey and fear part and then the Shema and talk-tie-write part.
Psa 119.1-8
notes: The LCMS agrees that the psalm is 119 and not 106 (Anglican) or 18 (Roman Catholic).
I’m sure those other two are good alternate choices.
Because 119 is a wisdom psalm like 1 and 19 you can bet among its many 172 verses it will begin in that way and it does.
Ashre ‘blessed’ is the first word.
I don’t think Dr. Mike Heiser really addressed my question perhaps I asked it unclearly or clumsily.
The fact is Jesus and the twelve disciples like Jenny’s group have a primary language and a secondary one that they know very well.
That Jesus began his Sermon on the Mount with “blessed” shows that Aramean/Hebrew and not Greek was their primary language.
Gradual: Revelation 7:14b; Psalm 84:5
These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation.
/ They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
/ Blessèd are those whose strength is in you, / in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
Heb 9.11-14
notes: (LCMS →22) One could read through 22 but I would say do it every other time or every third time, otherwise what is bite-sized and manageable becomes too long and the hearer forgets the beginning by the time you get to the end.
Mrk 12.28-34
notes: (LCMS →37) We get the Schema in its NT setting, quoted by Jesus and we have to pay attention to the context, the backstory, the human interaction situation in which it was used.
Jesus didn’t say he was in the kingdom but almost there.
By God’s grace, if he continued down that road, continued searching, he would definitely find the kingdom of God.
I don’t think I would ever read the LCMS extension, it confusingly adds to what is a clear single story.
