Why does Paul put such an emphasis on the holy kiss? Its more than a greeting, and Pastor Claude dives deep into how we can incorporate it into our culture now. The post The Holy Kiss appeared first on Gospel Mission Church.
George set up our journey through the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans by beginning at the end (chapter 16). He also offered us some context to understand how to read it as ecclesiology (about the church and who makes up the people of God). Paul's point is who benefits from Jesus? Everybody! Exactly as they are. Romans is not about individuals apart from the collective. It's a church made up of people with what seems like impossible lines of difference to cross. But at the center of it all, Paul saw a love drawing us toward God and one another. Romans will be teaching us how to do the actual work of building community. SLIDES GEORGE READ IN OUR GATHERING The earliest Jewish interpreters of the Torah were concerned that the biblical text remain a living text. This meant that it constantly had to be reinterpreted faithfully in new cultural contexts. If it was just being repeated as it had been in the past, then it was a text that no longer had a living word for the present. —Michael Fishbane, Inner-Biblical Exegesis of Interpretation in Ancient Israel To Paul, as with Jesus, any disagreements leading to potential disunity were in direct opposition to the gospel message and its power to save all people. “The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them” ― Thomas Merton, No Man Is An Island

Message from Seth Cain on June 30, 2024
Brothers and sisters, pray for us. Greet all God's people with a holy kiss. I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. (1 Thessalonians 5:25-28) Kissing people who are not my family is not something I do. Or at least, it wasn't until I met my wife. Now I regularly kiss friends and acquaintances as well. Why the change? Some of you may already know. Americans have no cultural practice of kissing people with whom you are not already in some way, intimate. But the Dutch do—as do any number of cultures around the world—and my wife is Dutch. The Dutch have a standard tradition of “three Dutch kisses” that one performs as a greeting when encountering anyone you know reasonably well. Not on the lips mind you, but kisses applied to the cheek, or just to the air next to the cheek—first to the right, then flipping around to do the same thing on the left, then flipping back round to the right. Three Dutch “kisses.” This cultural convention at first seemed terribly intimate and intrusive to me. When I said so—my wife noted how she found the American greeting—which tends much more often to be a hug with those same friends and acquaintances—to be far more intimate and invasive. The Dutch, after all, do not press their bodies together like the Americans do. It's all in what your used to, I suppose. The “holy kiss” of Paul's writing is one of those Biblical commands that we assume to be culturally constructed--just like the American hug or the three Dutch kisses. Even though the Holy Kiss shows up four different times in Paul's letters as a command to the Christian community—you will notice that we do not obey this command (and to my knowledge, the Dutch churches don't either). Herein then lies one of the interpretive principles of Bible reading. When we read Paul's letters, we are reading someone else's mail. We are not the Thessalonians Paul was writing to. Nor do we live in the times with its cultural customs that the Thessalonians lived in. So when we interpret things like this, what we're looking for is the intent or purpose of the command—a principle that can be applied in our own time, place, and culture. So what was this “holy kiss”? Later in the early church, it became known as the “kiss of peace.” In some church traditions still today there is a section of the worship service called “passing the peace” which carries some residue from this practice. Even our own periodic “greet one another as God has greeted you” moments at the beginning of our service carries something of it. The “holy kiss” was a moment in worship, often connected with the Lord's Supper, where fellowship and unity was affirmed, but also where reconciliation was worked out. To offer this sign of intimate fellowship and unity required seeing the other as one whom Christ had forgiven and who I ought also to forgive (or confess before, as the case may be). A sense grew up in the churches of “con-spiring” together through this kiss—quite literally a “breathing together” or a sharing the “Spirit together.” For, as Paul says in Ephesians 4: “there is one body and one Spirit,” right after he implores the church to “keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Eph 4:3-4). Whatever the cultural form—this remains an important command and a good reminder at the end of this letter. We ought always to continue to seek to manifest the one Spirit of Christ that makes the church Holy through working out—as tangibly as a kiss—our reconciliation with one another through confession and forgiveness. As we do so, may “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.” As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do it! The amazing grace of Jesus Christ be with you! (1 Thessalonians 5:23,24,28 The Message).

David Mathis | The call to “greet one another with a holy kiss” may strike us as odd and outdated. But what lessons might God have for us in this uncomfortable command?
The New Testament mentions greeting one another with a kiss four times.

The New Testament mentions greeting one another with a kiss four times. Is that just an outmoded cultural practice, or is there something we can learn from it today?
This is a follow up from yesterday's episode about mechanical instruments of music offered to God in relation to psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. The question was a thought experiment that is designed to hang one on the horns of a dillema, since the command to greet one another with a holy kiss is specific then why do we not obey it today yet we draw a line of fellowship when it comes to mechanical instruments of music being offered to God with psalms, hymns, and spritual songs? There is a very simple answer to this. I am more than a little ashamed that I did not bring this out yesterday. I hope you tune in and consider what I have to say.

God's people are living between two important times in history—the first coming of Christ and the promise of His return in glory. As those transformed by the Gospel, we are to bear up under suffering and spiritual attack by pursuing holiness and fixing our hope on the Savior's appearing. Though God's people are “not home yet,” they continue to reflect the virtues of redeemed people—faith, hope, and love! 1 Thessalonians 5:25-28CC: Love

2/5/23 - Paul greets all those he has previously met in Rome, and gives final exhortation to be aware of false teachers.
Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities in the Roman world during Paul's days. It was steeped in paganism and every form of wicked distraction. It was also a place Paul spent several years. It's no wonder that Paul wrote two of his most forceful and humble letters to this people that he grew to love so much.In his second (biblically published) letter to the Corinthians, Paul encourages the people he loves to press on to know God and follow Him more closely, something each one of us needs to hear today.-----------LINKS----------Support 10WB on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/10weekbibleThe 10 Week Bible - http://www.10WeekBible.comTwitter: @DarrenHibbs - https://twitter.com/DarrenHibbsSign up for my newsletter - http://www.darrenhibbs.comGet a copy of the 10 Week Bible Study today - https://www.amazon.com/Darren-Hibbs/e/B00B4I47CE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl2&tag=darrenhcom0a-20&linkId=401f3d79974c70929517936977e32df9My other YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUU0XHSHuhSyN8qk-7efYgSupport the show
The command to greet one another with a holy kiss is a call to grow in expressions of true, holy, familial affection in the church.

The post 1 Thessalonians 5:26 – The Holy Kiss appeared first on Grace Bible Church.
Sermon, 05/01/2022: A Holy KIss
Many Christians interpret some commands, like 1 Corinthians 11:6 and 1 Timothy 2:9 as situation-specific, while interpreting others, like 1 Corinthians 14:34 and 1 Timothy 2:12 as timeless. There may be good reasons for understanding some of the commands in the epistles as timeless and others as situation-specific. However, this episode encourages Christians to take seriously the situational and occasional nature of the New Testament letters and strive for consistency in biblical interpretation. Furthermore, it encourages Christians to think and to study deeply the biblical documents.
In this episode, Pastor Joby talks about the first "one another" in this series: Greet one another with a holy Kiss, and what that means for our relationships with others. This "one another" is referenced in four places in the Bible: Romans 16:16, 1 Corinthians 16:20, 2 Corinthians 13:13, 1 Peter 5:14.
