A Holy Nation: Jesus' Radical Teachings and Their Modern Relevance

Jesus is saying that his people, who are in him, are the new nation of Israel, the true Israel.
Ever wondered how Jesus' teachings might clash with your own beliefs or national loyalty? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Dr. Rick Peterson dives into the profound and often challenging teachings of Jesus about a holy nation. He takes us back to the time of Pentecost, exploring the theological and historical context that saw the inclusion of Gentiles as a chosen people, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation.
This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like the fall of the temple system and the persecution faced by the early church. Dr. Peterson also addresses how these teachings remain relevant today, especially when considering that the kingdom of God transcends any earthly nation, including the United States. He reminds us that Jesus' followers are the true Israel, called to a higher purpose beyond national boundaries.
Whether you're grappling with faith, tradition, or identity, this episode offers a deep and thoughtful exploration of what it means to be part of God's holy nation.
