The Priest with Dirty Clothes
De jonge priester Jonathan is uitgenodigd om zijn eerste preek te houden bij de koning op het kasteel. Onderweg valt hij van zijn paard. Zijn prachtige priesterkleren worden zo vies dat hij ze niet meer schoon kan krijgen. Maar zonder schone kleren mag Jonathan niet voor de koning verschijnen. Wie kan hem helpen?
In zijn prachtig geïllustreerde boeken maakt R.C. Sproul diepe Bijbelse waarheden duidelijk aan kinderen. In De priester met vieze kleren legt hij de toerekening van Jezus’ verdiensten uit, de kern van de Bijbelse leer van de rechtvaardiging door het geloof. Hij doet dat heel verrassend aan de hand van het verhaal over de hogepriester Jozua in Zacharia 3:1-5. De gespreksvragen helpen om door te praten over de diepere laag van het verhaal.
In this classic story Dr. R.C. Sproul continues his project of illustrating theological concepts for children. The Priest with Dirty Clothes teaches the concept of imputation, which lies at the heart of the important biblical doctrine of justification.
Using the story of Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3:1-5) as his jumping-off point, Dr. Sproul weaves a classic tale about a young priest who is invited to preach his first sermon before the king and his court. But on his way to the palace, he falls from his horse, getting his clothes hopelessly muddy. Jonathan finds that he needs powerful help if he is to stand before the king. This edition of The Priest with Dirty Clothes includes illustrations by Justin Gerard and a “For the Parents“ section to help them bring out the truths of the book for their children.
