1 1.2: Divine Revelation Divine Revelation: why & how God reveals Himself to us Jesus as the fulfillment of God s revelation The transmission of Divine Revelation through Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition The Magisterium as the authoritative interpreter of Scripture and Tradition
2 Divine Revelation Reflect: Do you believe God is a personal God who wants to have a relationship with you? Lot s of different views of God today A Spiritual force (non-personal) Absentee, doesn t interact w/creation (deist) Some people reject a relationship ( spiritual but not religious ) None of those is the Christian view. Not elusive or evasive--he s pursuing us For us, God is Love, and love reveals itself to the beloved God, the all-powerful Creator of the Universe, loves us so much he wants to make Himself and His will known to us. Think about how amazing that is! He took on flesh for us, died for us, and preserves His revelation for us.
3 Divine Revelation CCC God reveals Himself to us so we can... Enter into a personal relationship w/him Know Him Love Him Know His plan for our lives God has revealed Himself slowly over time: CCC 53 Adam: (CCC 54-55) Noah: (CCC 56-58) Abraham: (CCC 59-61) Israel: (CCC 62-64) Episode 4 will cover this in more detail
4 Divine Revelation God s unveiling of Himself culminated in Jesus: CCC 65 Public revelation is complete (no new public revelation will occur) God s revelation has not yet been made fully explicit: CCC 66 Sometimes God allows private revelations (apparitions) to people, but they don t add to teaching, they just help strengthen people s faith in what has already been revealed: CCC 67 Any apparition" which contradicts scripture and/or tradition is obviously in error: Muslims ( Archangel Gabriel ) Mormons (two persons God the Father & Son, angels )
5 Handing on the Faith In the video, the presenter described a 3-legged stool as the stable structure for passing on divine revelation. What were the 3 legs? Sacred Scripture Sacred Tradition The Magisterium of the Church Jesus wanted His Revelation to be handed on: Mt 28: His followers handed on His life & teachings: CCC Orally (Sacred Tradition) A way of life, not just words/stories/doctrines/customs It continued to future generations: CCC It is distinguished from minor traditions: CCC 83 In Writing (Sacred Scripture)
6 Handing on the Faith We have a tendency to want to do things on our own. Many Christians reject Tradition and the Magisterium (Sola Scriptura) No guarantee of understanding No unity in belief Bible says otherwise: Never claims to be sole rule of faith 2 Thess 2:15 Not historical years of Catholicism before Sola Scriptura was invented
7 Handing on the Faith We must include Sacred Tradition Not every element of Truth is written in Sacred Scripture Jesus didn t give us Bibles--He didn t write any books None of the New Testament was even beginning to be written until at least almost 10 years after Jesus ascended The Deposit of Faith is more than just what was written down John 21:25 1 Pt 1:25
8 Handing on the Faith We need an official interpreter (living voice of authority): CCC 95 Many of the teachings found in Scripture can be hard to understand Even very educated people have interpreted the same verses of Sacred Scripture in different ways (30,000 different Christian denominations) God knew we would need an official interpreter 1 Timothy 3:15
9 Magisterium Jesus gave the Apostles the authority to guard & interpret Deposit of Faith (His life & teachings) After He ascended, they were needed to clarify official teaching CCC 84 Magisterium = teaching authority CCC 85 They don t make things up: CCC 86 They speak for Jesus: CCC 87 Mt 10:40
10 Primacy of Peter Jesus made Peter the head Apostle Mt: 16:13-19 Jesus renamed Simon to Rock (Kephas in Aramaic Petros in Greek Peter in English) On this Rock I will build my Church The keys signify Peter having authority from Jesus He is Jesus steward as Eliakim was the steward of the Kingdom of Judah: Isaiah (Is) 22:20-22 Binding/Loosing = sign of authority Given to all apostles (Mt 18:18)
11 Primacy of Peter CCC When the apostles are listed, Peter is always first. (Mt. 10:2; Mk 3:16; Lk 6:14; Acts 1:13) Peter led the selection of Matthias (Acts, 1:12-26) Peter led the discussion at Pentecost (Acts 2:14-36) Peter settled the discussion at the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15:6-11) Peter became the bishop of Rome, all future bishops of Rome have been the head of the Church (Papa the Pope)
12 Magisterium The Magisterium is continued today by the successors to the Apostles: The Pope Bishops (only when united with each other and the Pope) They are infallible (protected by God from officially teaching errors) Only in 2 areas Faith (what we believe about God, Church, etc.) Morals (what is right or wrong) Jn 16:13
13
14 Personal Experience What a great blessing: God reveals Himself to each of us (me)! I can trust this teaching (handed from Jesus to the Apostles, to the bishops, to me) It all fits together Spend a few moments in prayer, asking Jesus to help you to be more receptive to His revelation as handed on through the Catholic Church. Closing Prayer: Psalm 119:25-40 Fill out Call to Conversion.
