“MMLJBC OLD TESTAMENT TEACHING?” (MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN BEFORE CROSS) (PART 2) Do the Words of Jesus 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) 2 Review of Part One PART 2

PRACTICAL CONCERN: WHETHER TO APPLY MATTHEW 5:32 AND 19:3-9 TO ALL MARRIAGES TODAY 3 Review of Part One PART 2

LUKE 16:16 MATTHEW 4:23 (THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM) 4 What Jesus Preached PART 2

Jesus Preached the New Covenant 5 Jer 31:31-34; Heb 8:6-13; 9:15  Christ’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 PART 2

6 John 1:17-18; 7:46  Jesus revealed the Father to mankind, not Moses to the Jews  Jesus (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 Jesus Preached A Different Message 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, (Rom 3:19; Gal 3:22-25) Jesus Preached A Superior Message PART 2

8 Jno 1:17; Matt 17:5 If Jesus was teaching LOM, then eternal life was in the Law of Moses, Gal 2:21; 3:21  But, the words of Jesus are the words of eternal life, Jno 12:49-50  Therefore, Jesus did not teach Moses!  Moses spoke of Jesus, not the other way around, Jno 5:46-47 Jesus Preached A Superior Message PART 2

9 Jesus preached peace to Israel, Acts 10: 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) Apostles Said Jesus Preached Gospel PART 2

10 Jesus spoke of salvation, Heb 2:1-3  Not 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! Apostles Said Jesus Preached Gospel PART 2

2 CORINTHIANS 3: Do MMLJBC Belong to the 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 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, 3:11  When Matthew is read, does a veil remain? 3:14-15  Book of Matthew lifts the veil that remained when the OT was read, 3:14-16 PART 2 Were Apostles Ministers of Death or Life?

14 What “writing of requirements” was nailed to the cross? Col 2:14  A “writing” (not verbal teaching of Jesus)  This is not MMLJBC – they were written decades after the cross  LOM is the “the law of commandments,” Eph 2:14-15 “Writing of Requirements” Nailed to Cross PART 2

If MMLJBC Is Not The Gospel… 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 cross  But, Paul applied them, 1 Cor 7:10; Acts 20:35 Old covenant contains everlasting life, Jno 12:49-50 (Gal 3:10-11) PART 2

MMLJBC Belongs to New Testament 16 Dedicated by Christ’s blood and in force today, Heb 9:15-17 They contain the authority of Christ… Hear Him (Matt 17:5) We must hear and do the words Jesus spoke, Matt 7:24  What Jesus taught on MDR applies to all  What Jesus taught on all things applies to all PART 2
