A Light to the Nations

“The Lordship of Jesus is on you if you trust in the word of the gospel and you become doulos xristou.”

This is an extract from an audio commentary on the Gospel of Mark by the Rev. Fr. Paul Nadim Tarazi. In his reading of Mark 3:11-12, Fr. Paul makes an aside about what the titles “Son of God,” “Christ” and “Lord” mean and why, in the narrative, Jesus systematically rejects them.

Fr. Paul’s audio commentaries on the New Testament are available from the Orthodox Center for The Advancement of Biblical Studies (OCABS). See the link below to access.

What is A Light to the Nations?

A Light to the Nations is a bi-weekly podcast examining all parts of the biblical story from a functional perspective. Instead of asking what words means, we consider instead their function, i. e., how they are used in other parts of the Bible. In each episode will discuss the functionality of words and how that allows us hear the teaching.
