- Description:
- Donald E. Cook was the Professor of New Testament at SEBTS. Cook is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). Two hymns are played (0:15-4:08). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:09-4:36). Scripture reading from Philippians 2:5-11 is provided, and a word of prayer is given (4:37-7:09). The choir sings a song of worship (7:10-9:11). Cook speaks of the time when he was helping to recruit students, and a woman asked him what does some Jew who died on the cross have to do with her (9:12-13:33). He explains that we should believe because of the words of Jesus (13:34-16:10). However, a friend of Cook asked why we should believe based on words: words are simply words (16:11-17:45). Cook answers that Jesus’ deeds should give us reason to believe, yet his friend tells him that Jesus’ deeds are not compelling (17:46-20:56). Cook finally tells his friend words and deeds do not form the basis of his faith, but Jesus’ death on the cross (20:57-21:26). Another question is asked: what makes Jesus different from all the other Jews who were crucified? (21:27-22:32). Cook proclaims Jesus as the Son of God whose presence, love, and life give meaning to His words and deeds and who is the basis of the Christian faith (22:33-25:31). Cook ends with saying that Jesus is our light, courage, love, and forgiveness that brings us together before God as His children (25:32-28:14). The sermon is concluded with a word of prayer (28:14-28:59).
