The Son of God has literally been around since the
beginning. It was Jesus that walked with Adam, Enoch, Abraham and
spoke to Moses from the burning bush. The laws given to Moses and
Israel were the foundation for the second covenant and the basis of
the New Testament Church which would encompass Jew and Gentile
alike. Jesus started the core of His earthly teaching on a mountain
in Galilee. The first order of business was addressing proper
attitudes and setting a standard that was revolutionary and went
beyond anything previously seen on earth. Jesus wanted His disciples
to be simple minded and constantly aware of their sin nature. People
are often pushy, demanding and take from the weak, but Jesus wanted
His people to be meek and lowly. The worldly people are always
striving for money, goods, and power, yet Jesus wanted His people to
be hungry for God and to do His will. Secular people want revenge
when they are wronged but Jesus wants His people to be merciful and
forgiving. Jesus wants us to live a holy life and to bring peace
with us wherever we go. How does your life measure up to these
standards? |
