Graeme Goldsworthy

Cindy Gerdanus was really helpful.

Graham Goldsworthy.

Coming to Encounter for the first time as really a freshman in university.

oh, wow, it is one big picture.

Mm.

I had been reading Graham Goldsworthy back in the day.

Mm.

Yeah.

... is there that type of dichotomy in your mind or what are some reading strategies of both wanting to read the Old Testament for what it is, but also at the same time wanting to see Christ? Or am I even getting that, getting that, getting that wrong?

No, it's a good point, Lewis.

I, you know, they said in Sydney, Australia when I was there, Graham Goldsworthy had had the big impact on biblical theology.

Mm-hmm.

It is important for us to recognize that Jesus does not simply stand out in the context of Galilee without the background of all of God's purposes, indeed from eternity.

And one of the people who's helped me most recently, uh, to see this is an Australian theologian by the name of Graham Goldsworthy, and I've been touting his book everywhere I go.

Every so often, someone buys one, but most of the time they just ignore me.

And I want to give you just a little, uh, touch of this in light of the phrase, "The time is now fulfilled," or, "The time has now come." And this is what Goldsworthy writes.

See to it that you don't refuse the one who speaks.

Graham Goldsworthy said, God made everything and God alone can define the purpose and meaning of everything.

Friends, putting God at the center is what it means to fear the Lord.

and to embark on the beginning of wisdom of course Jesus Christ is the embodiment of wisdom if you want to see wisdom in the flesh just look to Jesus of Nazareth in him Paul said are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge well it's hardly surprising to me that when we read proverbs And when we encounter these glorious and mysterious descriptions of lady wisdom, our minds are all going to Jesus.
