Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:


MATT 5: 16  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

MATT 5: 17  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

It is my opinion that many people confuse these scriptures to mean something other than WHAT JESUS CHRIST was confessing.

EX 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

To take the LORD’S WORDS and use them for our CONVENIENCES is “VANITY”.

Let us have a discussion on these two scriptures this morning.

1. What did JESUS CHRIST actually say in these two scriptures?

  1. Did HE actually say that HE came to ‘PUT and END” to the word, commands, precepts, principles of the FATHER, as so MANY seem to encourage that HE did?

SOME or testifying and propagating that there are no commands for us to have our LIVES directed or guided by MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY UPON THEM...

SO what did HE mean when HE said:……… “BUT TO FULFIL”.

If you look at the VERY NEXT VERSE, you can see EXACTLY what  HE DID NOT INTEND to be understood by HIS WORDS. IE:  that there was an END to the LAW/COMMANDS or the PROPHETS.

The WORD FULFILLED in this VERSE, basically means..

HE ACCOMPLISHED/ FULFILLED the “VOICE/words of the PROPHETS and ACCOMPLISHED/fulfilled a PORTION of the LAW that HE was MEANT to accomplish at HIS “FIRST VISITATION”.

THERE HAS been NOTHING UNDONE in the SPIRIT, yet there is EARTHLY MANIFESTATIONS YET to be fulfilled BY JESUS CHRIST!!!

HIS FIRST VISITATION:

HE was the APPOINTED MESSIAH/ HIGH PRIEST to come.
HE was the “BLOOD SACRIFICE”.
THROUGH HIS OBEDIENCE, RIPPING the VEIL between the FATHER and HIS CREATION. What ADAM didn't do, JESUS did....



CONSIDER the POST..



"THROUGH JESUS THE VEIL WAS TORN":


http://wecrymercylandon.blogspot.com/2011/08/through-jesus-veil-was-torn-by.html
 
TROUGH HIS OBEDIENCE, HE was found WORTHY TO SAVE THE WORLD!!!

JESUS CHRIST, FULFILLED meaning HE ACCOMPLISHED the TASK  the ORDINATION, the PROPHECIES in which HE WAS SENT TO DO.

WE see HIM at HIS FIRST VISITATION, in HIS HUMBLE POSITION

HIS SON OF MAN POSITION/FLESH.
HIS HUMILITY
HIS OBEDIENCE, even through HIS suffering. Etc.  

HE KEPT the COMMANDS of GOD, Was FAITHFUL to DEATH, FAITHFUL to the COMMANDS of GOD.

HE did not mean that in HIS FULFILLMENT, so you nor I could have the FREEDOM or LIBERITY to NOT “OBEY” the ordinances, precepts and principles of GOD.

What JESUS CHRIST DID at HIS FIRST VISITATION:

“THE LAW”

ACCORDING to the LAW, a HIGH PRIEST was needed, and a sacrifice of BLOOD was needed for the FORGIVENESS of SINS:

AT the “FIRST VISITATION” of JESUS CHRIST, HE accomplished these TWO commands/laws:

HIGH PRIEST and BECAME the SACRIFICE:

HE became the HIGH PRIEST, HE BECAME the SACRIFICE, fulfilling the ‘requirement of a BLOOD SACRIFICE, needed to be “REDEEMED”, BOUGHT, CLEANSED, FORGIVEN to be RETURNED to the FATHER. There is NO MORE NEED for a YEARLY SACRIFICE.

THUS HE became OUR SALVATION/REDEEMER/ KINSMAN REDEEMER/SALVATION, while IN THE FLESH as  HIGH PRIEST and SACRIFICE

HEB 5: 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;


WHY did HE SPEAK of the  PROPHETS?

MATT 5: 17  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.


JESUS CHRIST has “FULFILED” a portion of the PROPHECIES of the PROPHETS, through “the SPRING FEAST”  and as “ the HIGH PRIEST and SACRIFICE” as they SPOKE of HIM, HE fulfilled them JUST as HE WAS ORDAINED to.

NOTE; In the SPIRITUAL WORLD HE is our KING, but in the PHYSICAL WORLD, these things are YET TO COME into “MANIFESTATION”.

AMOS 3: 7  Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

MATT 2: 23  And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

You might do well searching out the PROPHECIES about JESUS CHRIST from the OLD TESTAMENT to confirm this message. They are simply too many of them for me to put in this one study.


AT THE 2nd VISITATION:  HE will FULFILL the FINAL 3 FEAST:

LORD OF LORD'S and KING OF KINGS:

JESUS CHRIST will FULFILL the REMAINING PROPHECIES made by the PROPHETS and according to the LAW and according to the FALL FEAST.

 “THE 3 FALL FEAST”.

THERE IS a REST YET TO COME:
(note this is why we still “acknowledge the Sabbath day)

HEB 4: 9   There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

MELCHISDEDEC is the example used, according to scripture in the “ORDER/SEQUENCE” in which JESUS CHRIST will be MANIFESTED upon the EARTH:

JESUS CHRIST makes 2 VISITATIONS upon the EARTH:

FIRST:  AS a HIGH PRIEST, as the sacrifice

SECOND:   As the EARTHLY KING, LORD of LORD’S and KING of KINGS

IN the ORDER of Melchisedec,

HEB 5: 6  As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.


HEB 5: 5  So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

AS SACRIFICE and HIGHPRIEST:

  1. Therefore there Is no NEED for the SACRIFICE of lambs and goats. There is no other “WORK” to be done for SALVATION, for we are “REBORN” into the SON, through the SACRIFICE of HIS BLOOD we have REDEMPTION.
  2. HE is now the MEDIATOR, HIGH PRIEST between GOD and MAN.
  3. Therefore we have “REST” and at are at PEACE through RECONCILIATION with our CREATOR through JESUS CHRIST as the author and example of our FAITH towards SALVATION.

HEB 5: 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;


IN THE ORDER OF Melchisedec as A KING:

At HIS SECOND VISITATION, HE will be crowned KING Of KING and LORD of LORD’S of the EARTH.

REVELATION 19: 16  And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written,KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS

_____________________________________________________


HEB 4: 9   There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

This verse represents a PROPHETIC EVENT that is yet to come of an EARTHLY REST.


**When all things are returned under the FATHER, as GOD of all in all.

1 Cor 15: 24  Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

1 Cor 15: 28  And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

CONCLUSION:

When JESUS SAID:

MATT 5: 17  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

HE MEANT “ALL things WILL be fulfilled and ACCOMPLISHED according to the WORD of the FATHER,  by the END of TIME, and not before.

IE:  the LAW, and what the PROPHETS have prophesied WILL be fulfilled.

***YET NOT ONE TITTLE or JOT of the commands of GOD will pass away until the END OF TIME..

SO NEXT time YOU try to HANG your HAT on your LIBERTY and FREEDOM to do what you WANT.

THEN PERHAPS

YOU might consider the HUMILITY and OBEDIENCE of JESUS CHRIST, who “FULFILLED/accomplished” the LAW/ commands of GOD and the WORD of the PROPHETS, even to HIS DEATH. AND has committed to you and VOWED TO YOU,  that NOT ONE JOT or TITTLE of the FATHERS commands will pass away until the END OF TIME.


HE IS GOD the CREATOR, HE does have to ASK for your obedience, HE CAN EXPECT IT.

YET HE IS JUST, knowing the WEAKNESS of MAN, and it is only through HIS MERCY and GRACE that we can APPEAL to HIM for HELP.

 HE did NOT compromise the WORDS of the FATHER, and NEITHER is HE encouraging us to do so.. AMEN.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

LOVE is far more RESTRICTING than a LAW, for you are not judge according to WHAT you do, but according to HOW you feel about what you are doing it...

LIP SERVICE vs..a HEART FELT COMMITMENT!!!

MATT 22: 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

LOVE HAS a PRETTY HIGH STANDARD: 

LOVE ME with "ALL" your .. mind, heart and soul....

JOHN 14: 15  

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

JOHN 15: 10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

EZE 20: 19  I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;

Pro 8: 32  Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways.

MATT 22: 38 This is the first and great commandment.

AMEN!!!


I WILL FOLLOW YOU!!
