He Meant To Pass By Them

by Mike Janssen
…I confess I was uncertain as to what was meant by the phrase “He meant to pass by them”. According to my study Bible, this is not so that the disciples would fail to see him, but precisely so that they would see him. The act of Jesus walking on the water reveals a glimpse of God’s glory. The same phraseology appears in Exodus 33:19, where Moses asks to see God’s glory, and God allows his goodness to “pass before” him. Moreover, the entire scene e…

For example, even considering Lee’s descriptive aims in these chapters, reading about Calvin’s take on Romans 9–11, rather than trying to understand Paul’s text itself, is irritating in its own right and also sadly reminiscent of the ways many evangelical Christians evade the Bible itself.
