The Law of God (8)
Series: Storyline
Zach Terry
Deuteronomy 32:47
CONTEXT: As you are reading through the Old Testament you should start to see some familiar trends.
For example notice how the life of Jesus and the history of Israel coincide.
1. Israel fleeing to Egypt for safety from the famine - Jesus fled to Egypt for safety from Herod.
2. Israel passed through the Red Sea which Hebrews called their baptism - Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordon River.
3. Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, Jesus was tempted in the wilderness 40 days.
4. Israel organized into 12 tribes, Jesus called the 12 Disciples.
5. Now, Moses ascends on mount Sinai to receive the Law of God - The Gospels tell us that Jesus went up and sat on a Mountain and explained the Law of God in the Sermon on the Mount.
The Law of God is radically important for you as a Christian - There are 220 references to the Law of Moses in the New Testament that's almost as many as there are in the OT. It's practically impossible to understand the NT unless you have some grasp of the Law.
Missionally - the Law is said to be written on heart of every person you come in contact with. The law is the Evangelist's best friend. Last week when Mark Witt preached - I hope you recognized how frequently be mentioned the 10 commandments. Why? That is the birthplace of conviction.
The Old Testament Law is something that has been a source of bewilderment for Christians for many years.
1. It's so deeply rooted in the Jewish culture and many of us Gentiles find it strange.
2. We tend to see it as antithetical to grace so we tend to acts as if there is no law at all.
3. Let's face it - it's just really hard.
INTRODUCTION: Several years ago author A.J. Jacobs wrote a book called, ''A year of Living Biblically'' . It's NOT a Christian book... as a matter of fact the author describes himself as agnostic. Ethnically, he is Jewish but he say, ''I'm officially Jewish, but I'm J ...
