Jesus Hermeneutic
  • Interpreting the world around us is a matter of
    common sense.
  • All human beings make judgments based on
    observation and rational testing.
  • One does not need to understand any hermeneutical
    model to use his or her powers of observation and
    logical reasoning.
  • Throughout our lives we learn by instruction,
    example, and inferences.

12
Jesus Hermeneutic
  • If you ask a good question about GODS will, the
    way to find the answer is to listen to all that
    the Scriptures reveal on that matter.
  • Interpreting the Scriptures is a straightforward
    matter of using our common sense in the same way
    that we use it throughout life to make decisions.
  • When you ask an important question, you act on
    the basis of the best evidence you can gather.
  • The issue, then, is whether we are asking good
    questions.

It all comes back to Jesus.
  • And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying,
  • All authority has been given Me
  • in heaven and on earth.
  • (Matthew 2818 NASBU)
