THE LAW OF MOSES IS THE CULTURE OF JEWS
[I WILL MAKE THEM JEALOUS]
#
Part 4
Scripture Reading [Isaiah 9:1]
It says Galilee of gentiles will be filled with glory!
Scripture Reading [Matthew 2:23]
Joseph was warned in the dream and went to Galilee, remember Galilee that will get the glory. Who was Joseph with? He was with Mary and Jesus, so the book of Isaiah says the land of Galilee will get the glory, getting the glory was the coming of Jesus.
Jesus lived in Nazareth which was in Galilee of gentiles. Was Jesus a gentile? Jesus was a Jew but Galilee had to experience the glory because there was a prophecy that came. When God says I will make them jealous, one of the things that God did is that Jesus was called a Nazarene.
They were expecting Christ and the prophecies were “You will not know where he comes from” so this one is from Nazareth. When they went to call Nathaniel, they said we have found the Christ He is from Nazareth. The first thing Nathaniel asked was, “is there anything good from Nazareth?” why did he ask that? It’s because Nazareth was a town in the land of gentiles, people who have no God.
So, I will make them jealous with a nation of stammering lips, the first thing when Jesus came back from Egypt, He didn’t go to Jerusalem but He went to become a Nazarene. When Jesus appeared, He said go and tell my disciples that we will meet in Galilee, making them jealous even more.
God said I will make them jealous, but for Him to make them jealous this Glory must not just dwell there but it must be received.
Scripture Reading [John 1:10-12]
It says to all who accepted Him, He gave them the right to become children of God. The glory had to be accepted, if they become children of God the they can’t continue with what is being rejected. Israel was Rejected and by adopting the gentiles He was making them jealous and now He has to come with a new Law, a new culture.
Scripture Reading [Romans 8:1-3]
It says there is no adjudging guilty of wrong. We no longer judge now in this new law, meaning wrong is there but judgement is cancelled. This is another culture now; they were used to a culture that said if you are caught in the act, you must be stoned to death. A new culture comes now which says there is no judging of wrong!
When a woman was found in the act of adultery, they took her to Jesus and said in the Law of Moses if a woman is caught in adultery she must be stoned to death, what do you say? There is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, there is no adjudging guilty of wrong, yes, they are wrong but they are not judged.
They were struggling with this new culture that Jesus came with, they could not accept it. It made them believe even more that Jesus was not from God because He was doing what they didn’t know, they God they knew judged people, the God they knew killed those who sinned.
Jesus said to them “He who has no sin, let him cast the first stone”. They all left their stones on the ground, why? There is another law now, this law says do not kill. Yes I gave you a law that said do not allow a witch to live but this one I am giving you now it says you are an Aroma of life, if you are an Aroma of life, where you are going it’s not death that prevails but life prevails because you are coming with a new culture.
Hebrews 8 says in those days you will not tell your neighbor about God, for I will inscribe my laws in their hearts. Everyone will know about God, that culture will force everyone to know God.
It says no adjudging guilt of wrong, according to the Law a person who sins is condemned but according to the new Law of God, Grace, there is no condemnation.
It says for the Law of the Spirit of Life has freed me from the law of sin and death, when we adopt this culture, it sets us from the law of sin and death. From my mouth no death will come, from my body no sin will be performed because the law of life sets me free.
It says for God has done what the law could not do, so by bringing this culture the Lord has done what the law could not do. What their culture could not accomplish, the Lord has done it through the Law of the Spirit of life which is in Christ Jesus.
When we come into fellowship with Christ Jesus, we throw away our native culture, we don’t keep part of our culture. According to Zulu culture if I say someone is infertile, I have cursed them and I must cleanse that person by apologizing with a cow, that’s a Zulu culture but when we come to Christ that thing does not exist anymore.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
