[...] Gospel Coalition has added three new Tim Keller sermons from the 2007 Evangelists [...]
The authoritative description of the worst forms of false idols and their smashing, conveniently ignored, is found in the testamentary words of Jesus Christ (John 16: 5-15 see below) on the eve of the two synchronized, greatest events of his perfect/ diacritical death on the cross, and the coming of the Holy Spirit culminating in the self-revelation of Jesus Christ (Ibid, 14: 15-21) –both with the highest degree of devaluations possible by contemporary Christianity!
5 “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going.
6 Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you.
7 But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate* won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.
8 And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
9 The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.
10 Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more.
11 Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.
12 “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now.
13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.
14 He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.’
The Christ of faith and the Christ of the cross (the “tree of life”) are two wholly different gospels (2 Cor. 11:4; Gal. 1: 6-9; 3: 1-5)!
