In this video Gavin Ortlund argues that the story of Noah's ark in Genesis 6-9 may have concerned a local flood rather than a global flood.

Many Christians are familiar with the beautiful and tender words of the medieval theologian Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) in the hymns “O Sacred Head Now Wounded,” “Jesus the Very Thought of Thee,” and “Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts.” Like other Church Fathers, he also preached on the topics of Advent and Christmas and had rich words to share. As well as a theologian, Bernard was a Church reformer, mystic, and abbot of the Cistercian monastery at Clairvaux. He played important roles in both ecclesiastical and secular politics, particularly as a preacher of the Second Crusade. Because of his eloquence and his emphasis on divine love, Dante made him his final guide of Paradise in his Divine Comedy. He was also cited by major Protestant Reformers such as Luther and Calvin as supporting justification by faith. Although Bernard is known for holding a very high view of Mary, the overall focus of his Sermon 9 on the Nativity remains squarely on Jesus. It was built around a repeated refrain: “Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is born in Bethlehem of Judah.” In the first part of the sermon, Bernard emphasized the absolute wonder of this proclamation: A voice of gladness has resounded in our land. In the dwellings of sinners a voice of joy and salvation has been heard. The good news has been announced, news of comfort, news of rejoicing, worthy of all acceptance. Rejoice and give praise, O you mountains. All you trees of the forest applaud before the face of the Lord, for now he is coming. Hear, you heavens; and you, earth, give ear. Let the whole of creation be astounded and give praise; but you, O humans, above all others. For “Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is born in Bethlehem of Judah.” Bernard described this news as the sweetest, the most delightful, and the best to ever come to Earth. Words were inadequate, he said, to express the love that wells up in his heart at the beauty of the message. He then explained that every word in the sentence is full of meaning. The name “Jesus” points to Him as the source of salvation. The title “Christ” points to His anointing and the healing unction He provides. The title “Son of God” points to His greatness and the gifts He gives. Bernard continued: Take courage, you who are lost, for to seek and save that which was lost Jesus now comes. Return to health, you who are sick, for with the ointment of mercy Christ comes to heal the contrite of heart. Rejoice all you who are ambitious for great things, for the Son of God descends on you to make you co-heirs of his own kingdom. … Why has the Son of God become Man but in order to make all men sons of God? Who, then, will resist his will? Jesus forgives us: who then will condemn us? Christ heals us: who will hurt us? The Son of God raises us up: who will put us down? Jesus is born: let the person whose sinful conscience deserves eternal damnation rejoice, for Jesus' pity exceeds all crimes, no matter how great their number or enormity. Christ is born: therefore, let the person who is tormented by deeply rooted vices rejoice. For no spiritual illness, no matter how chronic, can stand its ground before Christ's healing ointment. The Son of God is born: let him whose habit is to desire great things rejoice, for the giver of great things is at hand. Then Bernard explained “in Bethlehem of Judah.” Bethlehem means “house of bread,” and so we need to receive the food that comes from heaven in Scripture and in Christ, the Bread of Life. He noted that Jesus could have been born in a palace, but instead chose a small, poor village, because the only commodity absent in heaven and abundant on Earth is poverty. Citing Genesis 49, Bernard defined “Judah” as “confession,” concluding that we need to become like Bethlehem in Judah, receiving Jesus by faith and confessing Him with our mouth so that we may be saved. Bernard's sermon reminds us how easy it is to miss the astonishing wonder of all that the Incarnation means. So, to celebrate Christ's birth, we must intentionally take the time to ponder the wonder of it, rejoice in it, and respond in faith to all that God has done for us.

The season of Lent and Holy Week is an appropriate time to meditate on Christ, His Divine and Human natures, His sufferings on our behalf, the love that prompted them, and what that love has accomplished on our behalf.

O Sacred Head Now Wounded....Originally a Latin poem from the 1200's, a tune was added, then translated to German, re-harmonized by a famous Baroque composer, and eventually translated to English... we finally see this poem in American hymnals after the year 1829.This hymn took quite the journey to get to us and it's all focused on Jesus's crucifixion. His journey to the cross was the greatest event in human history and his resurrection is the greatest miracle in history! We are so happy to be talking about this hymn this week.Here are some of the things we mention in the podcast:Raluca BojorRaluca Bojor on YouTubeYou can find Raluca on Instagram at @raluca.bojor.musicVillers AbbeySt. Matthew Passion by JS BachFifth Avenue Presbyterian ChurchThe Alexander PolynomialFive Classy LassiesThank you for listening and supporting Hymn Talk Twin Talk.

When Bernard, (c. 1090-1153), a sickly youth in Dijon, France, was unable to fulfill military service, he became a monk. So successful was he that he eventually founded the famous monastery in nearby Clairvaux; in time almost 170 other monasteries sprang from Bernard's leadership. He became the most powerful preacher of his era, and is remembered as a pious man, a deeply contemplative mystic, the “honey-tongued doctor.” Martin Luther called Bernard “the best monk that ever lived, whom I admire beyond all the rest put together.” He wasn't a perfect man, as seen in his support for the Second Crusade to liberate the Holy Land from Muslim control. But for 800 years, his words have been read and sung, and his good work has continued. If you've never read Bernard, here are some excerpts from his writings and sermons: “How do we know that Christ has really overcome death? Precisely in that he, who did not deserve it, underwent it….But what kind of justice is this, you may say, that the innocent should die for the guilty? It is not justice, but mercy.” “I was made a sinner by deriving my being my Adam; I am made righteous by being washed in the blood of Christ.” “You will never have real mercy for the failings of another until you know and realize that you have the same failings in your soul.” “Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your kindness in uniting us to the church so dearly love, not merely that we may be endowed with the gift of faith, but that, like brides, we may be one with you…, beholding with unveiled faces that glory which is yours in union with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.” “You wish me to tell you why and how God should be loved. My answer is that God Himself is the reason He is to be loved.” Several well-known hymns are attributed to St.Bernard: “Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee,” “O Sacred Head Now Wounded,” and a lesser-known hymn entitles “Open Wide are Thine Hands,” the second verse of which says: Lord, I am sad and poor, but boundless is Thy grace; Give me the soul transforming joy for which I seek Thy face.” The resources used for the podcast include, but not limited to; “How Great Thou Art” written by Robert J. Morgan and Hymnary.org
The shortest episode yet, but its definitely one of my favorites. What an incredible hymn! In this episode, we discuss Jesus's suffering body as he hangs on the cross and how that relates to our lives. My favorite line is undoubtedly the last: "Lord, let me never, never outlive my love for thee." I hope you'll take a listen to O Sacred Head, Now Wounded as we begin this Lenten season.Support the show (http://paypal.me/HymnTalkPod)

The Lord's Supper holds different levels of prominence in different church traditions. For Roman Catholics and many Reformers, Communion is the central feature of gathered worship. Yet many modern evangelicals in the free church tradition, particularly baptists, tend to have a lower view of the Lord's Supper. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the biblical place of this sacrament in Christian experience. They also profile the hymn “O Sacred Head Now Wounded.” Listeners will notice Alex's audio is poor at times. This was due to technical difficulties that will be improved for future podcasts.

Jesus, the Son of God, gave up His life to pay the price of our sins. This is the highest and grandest drama that has ever unfolded on the stage of the earth. Through the words and the actions of this service, we travel through the moments of Jesus' saving work and pass into the shadows of Tenebrae as our Lord's body is placed in the tomb. The first and last hymn is LSB 450, “O Sacred Head Now Wounded”. The hymn played in between the seven sections is LSB 447 “Jesus in Your Dying Woes”. If you have a Lutheran Service Book Hymnal at home, please sing along.

Which are the greatest Lutheran Lenten hymns? In this episode, the Lutheran Ladies share their favorite Lenten hymns and discuss the results of a recent poll in the Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook poll. Resident #hymnnerd Sarah then tells the stories behind the creation of two of Lutheranism's most beloved hymns: “My Song Is Love Unknown” (text by Samuel Crossman) and “O Sacred Head Now Wounded” (text by Paul Gerhardt). “Our favorites tend to be driven by emotion and memories,” says Sarah. “… and I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with that. All of the Lenten hymns in our hymnal, they all have great texts. They all point you to Christ; they all point you to His suffering and death for our sins.” Click to learn more about Samuel Crossman, Paul Gerhardt, the poems of George Herbert or the (#hymnnerd-approved!) two-volume Lutheran Service Book: Companion to the Hymns, new from CPH. The Lutheran Ladies would also like to take this opportunity to remind listeners that — even if singing hymns together in church is off limits at the moment — Lenten hymns make wonderful devotional texts, and singing them alone or with others in your household can raise spirits and turn hearts to the cross.

Today's selection is a contemplative, solo piano rendition of the ancient hymn, O Sacred Head Now Wounded. It hearkens back to the earlier days of Piano by Joel, when my offerings were informal and minimally edited; more spontaneous, as if we were sitting around the piano together. Here are the first few verses:O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown;O sacred Head, what glory, what bliss till now was Thine!Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, was all for sinners’ gain;Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain.Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place;Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace.Click Here to Listen.Preview and/or Purchase either CD from CD BabyPreview Joel's work on iTunesFresh Piano WebsiteContact JoelLink to Piano by Joel For lots of free, original music, check out http://www.freshpiano.com.
