Physical Children or Spiritual Children?
“But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.” (Isaiah 53:10 NASB)
Who is “He” and who are “His offspring”?
How does one become “His offspring”?
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13

Covenant Theology Foundations (by Samuel Renihan)
@DrewMery1689 links to a 2010 Sunday School lecture given by Sam Renihan(1). I have three concerns about this lecture (Note: Like Sam I am also 1689’r but today(2) I hold the “One Covenant-Two Administrations” view over the Republicationist view) .
- Mr. Renihan equates the Abrahamic Covenant with the Old Covenant. However, doesn’t scripture equate the Mosaic Covenant with the Old Covenant? Jeremiah 31:31-32ff “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.“ cf. Hebrews 8
- Mr. Renihan identifies the Abrahamic Covenant as Prototypical. As a Reformed (Covenantal) Baptist I take issue with this. If the Abrahamic Covenant is Prototypical then Christ ushered in the Abrahamic Kingdom and we should apply the Covenant Sign to our children. However, Reformed Federal/ Covenant /Biblical Theology has always maintained that [there are two Federal Heads or two Adams, Adam and Christ, the Second Adam. Abraham is not a Third Adam] Adam is the Prototype and the economy from Fall to Redemption is Typological - based on the Prototype of Adam and Eve in Eden dwelling with God. All Types pointing to the Antitype, Christ and His work for us in His Life, Death, and Resurrection. Christ initiates the Messianic Kingdom which will be consummated when He returns. [Update: See Guy Prentiss Waters “The Covenant of Works” in which he critiques the problem of making Abraham a Third Adam]
- Mr. Renihan asks if the glorified body can dwell in this world. The obvious answer is, “Yes, Christ dwelt in this world with His glorified body and we know we shall be like him.” I would caution that to say a new world is needed so we can dwell there may give the appearance of being man-focused. If Mr. Renihan wants an answer as to why this world must make way for the Messianic Kingdom then I would say the Fall necessitates it. When God created the heavens He declared them “good”. When He created the earth He declared it “good”. When He created Man He declared them “good”. But the fall changed all that. Now even the stars are not pure in His sight (Job 25:5). Now the earth groans in hope of its redemption (Romans 8:18-25). And of course God’s image has been corrupted. But since the initiation of the Messianic Kingdom man is being re-made, a new creation, conforming to the image of Christ. But this is just the beginning. The Heavens will one day be rolled away like a scroll and the earth will be destroyed with fire. Then the New Heavens and New Earth will appear where His image-bearers will once again dwell with their Creator. The question isn’t, “Can our glorified bodies live in this current world?” The question is, “What will God do about sin and its effects?’ His creation has been polluted by the Fall, are offensive to Him, He will destroy them, and create a New Heavens and Earth where He may dwell with His image-bearers.
1. I note this lecture is from 2010 to acknowledge Mr. Renihan may have changed his position on some of these points since then.
2. I note “today” to acknowledge I may change my position since this writing : )
Evan Jackson Leong’s ‘Linsanity’ Documentary Captures Essence of Jeremy Lin by Miguel Gonzalez Jr. for Wall Street Journal Scene Asia)
Jeremy Lin stormed onto the global stage a year ago, an Asian-American basketball player who shocked the world by leading the New York Knicks to a string of victories with a fearless playing style. He seemed to come out of nowhere, but Evan Jackson Leong, director of the documentary “Linsanity,” knew better. He’d been following Lin with a camera since the player’s days in school.
Lin’s qualities, commonly viewed as weaknesses for an aspiring NBA player, only served to make his surge more compelling: the 6-foot-3-inch player is of Chinese descent, he isn’t a physical freak, and he went to a distinguished university, Harvard, not known for its basketball program. His story captured the imaginations of basketball fans and casual observers, even for the man at the helm of what would become the definitive documentary of the Lin phenomenon.
Leong, in Hong Kong for the screening of “Linsanity” during the Hong Kong International Film Festival, said he wasn’t sure when he started exactly where the story would end up, but he understood the appeal of Lin from the start. “I’d heard about him in high school, when he went to the championship, won player of the year,” said Leong, who, like Lin, hails from the San Francisco Bay area. “But it wasn’t until his junior or senior year at Harvard that I really started hearing about what he was doing: breaking records, winning games, leading his team in all stats.”
The documentary started as a series of webisodes following Lin through university and his early days in the NBA’s development league. Those six-to-eight-minute vignettes turned into the 88-minute film that is drawing crowds on the festival circuit—“Linsanity” made its premiere to a packed house at the Sundance Film Festival in January and is showing at a sold-out screening in Hong Kong on Saturday.
Like a good point guard, the film “Linsanity” plays to its strengths. Leong had a wealth of footage from the pre-Linsanity days that showed the player at his most relaxed. What’s fascinating is that the early Lin, struggling to get recognition in the sport he loves, isn’t much different from the modern Lin.
“He’s the same person I’ve known for the last four years,” Leong says. “Everything [he did] was built around humility, and he’s kept it.”
“It’s funny, he tells me, ‘All I want is shoes. And I get them for free!’”
The film also drives home just how normal Lin’s existence was until the stars aligned for him in New York. Leong knew that Lin had a fan base in Asia, and “Linsanity” shows the player with his family in the U.S. and in Taiwan. These scenes show a life familiar to Asians and Asian-Americans alike: Lin among the food stalls at a night market, Lin visiting old relatives proud to see how much he’s grown, Lin’s mother reminiscing about trying to get him learn to play piano.
Through it all, “Linsanity” portrays a man whose faith and hunger help him overcome all the discouragement—and overt racism—to succeed. (Hunger, indeed, is a recurring theme: Lin is seen occasionally wolfing down massive amounts of food, and even his mother recalls that as a boy he was always eating.)
Also, just as a good point guard would, “Linsanity” avoids potential weak spots. Lin suffered a knee injury late last season that left him sidelined during the Knicks’ playoff run. Then, during the summer of 2012, he left New York for a lucrative contract with the Houston Rockets, the team that gained a massive following in Asia during its years with China’s Yao Ming at center. He isn’t lighting up the league the way he did during his time with the Knicks.
Those facts aren’t covered up in “Linsanity,” but its portrayal of Lin’s rise in New York is expressionistic and unabashed in its enthusiasm for its subject.
Go somewhere else if you want to pick apart Jeremy Lin’s flaws. See “Linsanity” because, when Lin drains shot after shot until his name echoes from the Madison Square Garden rafters, it will leave you with goosebumps.
