“Law and the Prophets” is referring to the entire Old Testament
How should we understand the Old Testament?
Huge question
Story
The whole Bible is a story about God redeeming a people through Jesus.
The Old Testament is what happens before Jesus and the New Testament is what happens after Jesus.
I hope many of you are starting or have started year-long Bible reading programs
As you read through the old testament you will encounter some odd laws and some odd stories.
Without the lens of Jesus, nothing will be in focus.
Law, OT, Mosaic Covenant, Sinaitic Covenant
How Christians relate to the law doesn’t mean the OT is not important
Christians are not under the law
Pick and choose which laws to follow
(Highway example)
Christians have the law written on their heart
Christians should expect to look more and more like Christ
The Christian life is one of transformation
New life
Born again
In the light, rather than darkness
God is the same yesterday and today and forever
Much of what we see in the OT is repeated in the new
Christians are only bound to laws in the OT that are repeated in the NT.
The laws given in the Old Testament were not exhaustive, neither are the laws given in the New Testament
Both in the OT and NT, the commands given are reflections of God’s character
To follow the letter of the law and forget the heart is the definition of legalism
At the core of the old testament law and the new testament law is love
A new command
The newness of this command is the example we have in Jesus.
