Just a few "cool thoughts" from the symposia this far (either explicitly stated or formed in my own thoughts) . . .
+ Mark tells us that Jesus was "thrown out" into the wilderness after His baptism. Why that verb? He is beginning to experience the same thing as the first Adam when he was "thrown out" of Eden and into the wilderness.
+ In the beginning, creation was not "neutral" -- but served sacramentally (small 's') to aid/contribute to our communion and fellowship with God.
+ God breathed life into Adam. What is one of the first things Jesus does after His resurrection? He breathes on His disciples and gives them the Spirit, to give them life. Creation - re-creation.
+ How does Jesus paying the "Temple Tax" foreshadow or fit into the truth of the atonement?
Very enjoyable so far. I am looking forward to today's lectures.
