Paul’s New Creation Vision | Romans
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 янв 2025
- This episode of Reading Scripture Together reminds us just how much depth can be found in even the most seemingly insignificant verses. Paul quotes Isaiah 11:10 to bookend the theological thrust of Romans, that Jesus is the true Messiah, and that when the people of God worship altogether, then they truly are being the people of the Messiah.
The Isaianic vision of New Creation - lion and lamb, wolf and kid, the knowledge of God covering the earth - is the vision Paul has in mind when he sees Jews and Gentiles coming together in worship.

GOOD exploration
I love Dr. Wright! I would love to have a mentor and friend like him. Gos bless you Dr. Wright.
Thank you Mr Wright. My earnest prayer is that our brothers and sisters of the Abrahamic Faith and other faiths around the world, Jews and Gentiles alike will come to the realisation of man’s spiritual deprivation without Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Obviously this is the work of the Holy Spirit and the Word working together on man’s heart to bring us to that fullness of truth. It is our choice to accept it or not. We must continue to pray and spread the word as we have been commissioned by the Lord.
Blessed by this!
Wow!
The Isaiahnic vision heralds the incredible hope of a risen humanity. Thank you, Dr. Wright for the gravitas of this hermeneutical context.
As one trained in dispensationalism and struggling to break free or at least balance it these short lessons are of great help.
Breaking free from a theological framework can be challenging. We're glad you're here and that these lessons are helping you navigate through your journey.
Thank you so much! You have made a dent in my life. May the Lord bless you!
YES!! I agree. I go to an Anglican church here in America & we incourage as well as live out cultural differences in our church. Thank you sir for your clear understanding of the passage.
Amen. We have to quit judging others by their color, language, economics, or anything else, has got to stop. We have to quit judging!
Yes, and identifying and interrogating our implicit biases.
Thanks for doing these videos. Very informative and helpful. 😊
Isaiah 11:10
Sir Please do make more videos ❤
We're happy to say that more videos are being made. We are grateful for supporters who make this possible! --NTW Team
I feel so isolated and poor....I share with no one of other cultures and faiths because we don't live like that in this time of guns, killings, so much ...no matter how I try, I feel I'm not worthy. But I press on and pray all day every day to let me know where I've gone wrong.
Thanks for sharing your reflections. You are very welcome in this community, and your presence here is valuable to us.
@@NTWrightOnline thank you so much. I love the way you teach and as I read scripture every day, I feel I'll come to accept that I 'm doing all that I can do where I found you, on You Version bible...and came to find where else I could listen and learn from you. God bless you.
Your teaching is so helpful. Thank you
Yes, we journey together day by day!

I wonder if the difficulties we are having these days to maintain church buildings might be Gods way of calling us across the denominations to come together and share?
Yes, and the work towards unity--"let it begin with me"
I think your "now is the day" theology is similar to that of Oswald Chambers. As do you, he promotes unity and avoids distractions. His 'Works of' anthology is a favorite of mine.
Yes, and the emphasis on unity and holiness-- both important kingdom values for today (and tomorrow!)
Dr Wright shares a glorious and compelling vision for the Church in the world. Boy do I wish it were true. Maybe it is, but I can't find it actually being lived out anywhere. The cognitive dissonance generated by that is really testing me. One would think, for example, that Dr Wright's own church (the Anglicans) would be a shining example and Britian transformed by it. But the numbers all point in the opposite direction. I'm a pretty simple guy. If something is true it must be possible to live it out at scale. So either his understanding of the gospel is inadequate or else the gospel is false. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
What am I missing?
"If something is true it must be possible to live it out at scale"-I think your statement needs the context of when . not all things come to pass at the same time. all together. all at once , to "scale" it depends on when your 100 year life is, as to what you will or will not see revealed.
You have to live this out by you love for your brothers and sisters where God has planted you. The Lord of the Harvest is making this a reality even now.
@@86309 By scale I mean across time and size of community. As an example, nihilism might work for a given individual, but it cannot generate a community which both practices it consistently and survives over time. Indeed, nihilism cannot be lived out self-consistently because of it's incoherence. One would be forced to disconnect cause from effect in order to do so. This doesn't prove N false, but it does give a compelling reason to reject it.
So substitute Dr Wright's vision of Christianity. Can it be lived out consistently at scale and across time? I don't know. What I do know is that it isn't happening, at least not anywhere I'm aware of. Explaining this without resorting to a no true Scottsman argument is challenging.
@@Corkpatrick-r8v "I" have to live it out. True enough. But what about "we" living it out?
@@michaelkistner6286 I relate to the thought of missing something but we aren't. Take 1Peter for example. Simply put one could say 1Peter is about the suffering in this present age and the glory to come. I don't find the apostles talking much like Mr. Wright at all. As much as he persuades and tries to get our heads around "wrong" thinking I believe more and more it is not us thinking wrongly.
The epistles are the clearest form of literature, the most easiest to understand, in the scriptures. There are things more difficult to understand but more so when a teacher is telling us we have it all wrong and need to "get our heads around it". Something disturbing about this rhetoric.
The new creation narrative seems to be a major dome over these teachings creating or pushing a theology of sorts, another eyepiece, in which to read the scripture. As John, the apostle said we all have an unction from the Holy One and need not a teacher teach us in 1 John 2, in the context of saying I have written these things in order that would not be deceived. He is not belaying teachers but exhorting us to read and pray in the spirit and He, our Father through the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. With the help of Spirit-filled and called teachers of course. It's called discipleship.
2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Ephesians 2:4 … God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved- 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, … 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Romans 5:17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. … 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
2Peter 1:3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
Matthew 4:23 (Jesus) … teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 … and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them.
Matthew 8:29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." 30 And their eyes were opened.
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
Mr Wright, What order would you recommend I read the Bible?
There are many approaches to which one might endeavour to read the Bible and, of course, no one right way. It can often depend on one's own starting point. For example, some suggest to begin with the Gospels. You might also locate a liturgical reading plan, such as the Book of Common Prayer, or there are many Bible plans that offer daily OT and NT readings along with a Psalm or Proverb.
Great insights on this passage brother! Have you written a commentary on Romans?
There is the 'New Interpreter's Bible' commentary as well as much shorter commentary from the 'For Everyone' series. We also have online courses on Romans in three parts. You can learn more about part one here:

Sorry Rev, I went for the coffee instead
All good! Glad you're here.
