Great Sermon! Will you go away? (a) Many NT Jews would have been stunned to hear Jesus advise them to “eat My flesh and drink My blood” (John 6:53) since this was forbidden by OT law. (b) The large party that heard Jesus require them to “eat My flesh and drink My blood,” “went away and returned no more.” (John 6:66). (c) Though many disciples departed from Jesus, He didn’t beckon them to clarify their understanding of John 6:53. (d) Thus, Jesus was meaning “eat My flesh and drink My blood” (John 6:53) to be understood literally. (e) Isn’t one who also rejects Jesus and won't "eat My flesh and drink My blood," actually denying Christ and losing his life? May we never go away from Christ. Thank you Pastor Eshelman! |

Great Christ-centered Application Thank you Pastor Eshelman, for serving the church and preaching the word. You have shown clearly how faith is to be mixed with the imperative! How to be a living sacrifice by walking in the Spirit of Christ! Compelling and convicting. |

Response to Chris' Question Amyraldians believed that in the decree of God election came after the need for redemption. This made redemption UNIVERSAL, but only having application towards the elect. It is a mild form of Calvinism, and somewhat Arminian. Baxter liked this position.
Here is what Meet the Puritans says, "Baxter's writings are a strange theological mix. He was one of a few Puritans whose doctrines of God's decrees, atonement, and justification were anything but Reformed. Though he generally structured his theology along reformed lines of thought, he frequently LEANED towards Arminian thinking. He developed his own notion of universal redemption, which offended Calvinists, but he retained a form of personal election, which offended Arminians. He rejected reprobation. He was greatly influenced by the Amyraldians and incorporated much of their thinking including hypothetical universalism, which teaches that Christ's death was more of a legal satisfaction of the law than a personal substitutionary death on behalf of elect sinners." (p.66) |

Great Sermon! Wow! Many great points. Especially, some of the historical background in the RPCNA, and the point about our contemporary crisis of a "deaconal" state which takes from the work of the Church. |

Great Sermon! Thanks for this survey, and showing such relevance for our cities today. We need to hear that in some ways the days are no different from the days of the reformation.
Also appreciated the balance on Baxter. He had is faults as we have ours, and yet God can use all of us, despite our weaknesses, frailties, and faults. |
