(MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN BEFORE CROSS)

(PART 2)

Do the Words of Jesus Do the Words of Jesus Apply Today? Apply Today?

• JESUS CAME TO FULFILL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS (MATT 5:17-18)• HE FULFILLED THEM (LK 24:44)• AS HE WAS DOING SO, HE WAS PREACHING “GLAD TIDINGS” (ISA 61:1-2; LK 4:18-19)• HE PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM AND WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE (MATT 4:23; JNO 12:49-50)

5

Jer 31:31-34; Heb 8:6-13; 9:15Christ’s blood dedicated the new covenant that He preached

Preached of a memorial supper to be eaten in His kingdom, Matt 26:19

New covenant came into force after His death, Heb 9:16-17

6

John 1:17-18; 7:46Jesus revealed the Father to

mankind, not Moses to the JewsJesus (not Moses) provided true

manna with His words, John 6:32-35, 51, 63

If Jesus taught Moses, how is it the Jews knew Moses but did not know Jesus? John 9:28-29

PART 2

7

Jno 1:17; Matt 17:5

Jesus and teachings are superior to and to be preferred over the LOM

“But I say to you,” Matt 5:22, 28, 32…; 7:29 Not: “But Moses said to you…”

Christ’s words contain eternal life, Jno 6:63, 67-68 (Rom 3:19; Gal 3:22-25)

PART 2

8

Jno 1:17; Matt 17:5If Jesus was teaching LOM, then eternal life was in the Law of Moses, Gal 2:21; 3:21But, the words of Jesus are the words

of eternal life, Jno 12:49-50Therefore, Jesus did not teach Moses!Moses spoke of Jesus, not the other

way around, Jno 5:46-47

9

Jesus preached peace to Israel, Acts 10: 36-37 What peace?

The forgiveness of sins, Acts 13:38-39 Not from the Law of Moses, Rom 3:20

Jesus preached peace: Reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles to God “in one body”, Eph 2:14-18 The church of Christ (not Israel under LOM) Prophesied in OT; fulfilled in Christ and His

gospel, Isa 57:19 (11:6-10)

PART 2

10

Jesus spoke of salvation, Heb 2:1-3Not the law of Moses (Rom 3:19-20)Apostles taught “all things” Jesus

taught them, Matt 28:19-20 The gospel, not the Law of Moses

Why did the Holy Spirit need to bring to their remembrance everything Jesus said if His words have no binding authority today (after the cross)? Jno 14:26 Already have the LOM, and we are not

Jews!

Do MMLJBC Belong to the Do MMLJBC Belong to the Old or the New Covenant?Old or the New Covenant?

PART 2

12

If MMLJBC belong to the old covenant, then writing them ministered death But, the ministry of death was

written on stones, 2 Cor 3:7 Did Matthew minister the old covenant

after the cross? Was book of Matthew passing away?

(3:7-8) Did Luke write old and new covenant?

Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1:1 PART 2

Were Apostles Ministers of Death Were Apostles Ministers of Death or Life?or Life?

13

If MMLJBC belong to the old covenant, then writing them ministered death, then

Jesus preached a ministry of condemnation, 2 Cor 3:9-10

Jesus preached what was passing away, 3:11When Matthew is read, does a veil remain?

3:14-15Book of Matthew lifts the veil that remained

when the OT was read, 3:14-16

14

What “writing of requirements” was nailed to the cross? Col 2:14A “writing” (not verbal teaching of

Jesus)This is not MMLJBC – they were

written decades after the crossLOM is the “the law of

commandments,” Eph 2:14-15

““Writing of Requirements” Nailed to Writing of Requirements” Nailed to CrossCross

15

Disciples of Christ are not permitted to appeal to the personal words of His Master to authorize His conduct, Lk 6:40

Personal teachings of Jesus before the cross never apply to men after crossBut, Paul applied them, 1 Cor 7:10; Acts

20:35Old covenant contains everlasting life, Jno 12:49-50 (Gal 3:10-11) PART 2

Dedicated by Christ’s blood and in force today, Heb 9:15-17

They contain the authority of Christ… Hear Him (Matt 17:5)

to allPART 2
