Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Batman.

Good morning.

You want to be ready?

Right?

But L. Let's get ready.

We need to be ready.

Want to be ready it.

So as we think about being ready, we think about the kingdom.

Jesus has been preparing the people for the kingdom.

The kingdom has yet to come and Jesus is going to assure in that Kingdom at some point it right now, as we look at the sermon on the mountain as we have been looking at for the past couple weeks.

We're looking at Jesus showing what is going to be like for a person to be a part of the Kingdom.

It's all we talked a little bit about the Beatitudes.

Talking about those attitudes that we need to have in our lives in order to be a citizen of his kingdom and as he continues in this Frame of thought, he's talking now about law.

And so we're going to be looking at Christ and the law a little bit this morning.

We just had a scripture reading, concerning worry.

One of the things that Jesus got to tell us where to look at that next week, as we study the idea of worried because we all worried at times, but he was worried should not be a part of the Kingdom.

Worried should not be a part of our lives.

And one of the reasons why?

Because Jesus was going to bring a kingdom, that had a new low.

A new law, a new testament, a New Covenant, and that the people who submit to that will that Covenant would have a remedy for all things including worried?

But before we get there next week, we're looking at the law.

Looking at what Jesus had to say concerning the law and what law was he talking about?

Well, in Matthew Chapter 5, beginning of verse 17 through 20, we have here, some highlights of that Passage.

First.

In verse 17, Jesus.

I have not come to destroy or abolish, but to fulfill the law.

And you remember he said not one jot or tittle of the law will pass away until all has been fulfilled and that John is the Eyota.

We always say, not one iota, right.

Well, then your tire is the eye, the Greek eye, the letter, I and the total is the shortest of the Hebrew script, those little punctuation marks above word.

And so he says, not even those things will pass away until all has been accomplished or fulfilled.

And finally, and verse 19 says, you said all she'll be called at called least in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Do not hold to watch mentor.

Talking about the things the kingdom and what is addressing is really the Pharisees.

He's pointing out the fact that the Jewish leaders, the fight of the scribes, the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the Sanhedrin as well, guilty of not teaching God's word.

And so they said or so Jesus the Same listen, they're not teaching God's word and when the kingdom comes they will be the least.

And the poorest of the poor memory, just talked about having those who are poor in spirit those who are Meek, right?

He sang those people will rise to the occasion in God's eye because they are prepared to continue teaching and holding to God's word.

And then finally, just too.

As we introduced this, this subject today.

He says in verse 20, except your righteousness exceeds, the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees.

You shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

So he's telling the people who are gathered there, that the scribes and Pharisees have a particular righteousness.

And really what he saying is they are unrighteous.

There are unrighteous people and so he says, whatever you do.

Now, on behalf of God, that will surely exceed the righteousness, the unrighteous, this of the scribes and the Pharisees.

And so that leaves the people into the coming Kingdom.

Now a lot of people look at that burst they say, well, you know, he said all things will be fulfilled.

Did you know that there's a group of people who claim that the second coming has already occurred?

That the Judgment has already occurred and that the resurrection of the Dead is already occurred because all things have been fulfilled.

What Jesus says here.

And what Jesus is really talking about all things concerning him.

He's the point of the law.

What all things concerning him are fulfilled, then the law will have ended that's what he say to make it abundantly, clear?

Luke chapter 24, and he says that he said, these are the words which I spoke to you.

I was still with you.

That all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses and the prophets, and the song for the writings concerning me concerning me.

And then the law will be done away with it because we learn from the scriptures themselves, that the law would be nailed to the cross.

But interestingly enough, as we consider the end of the law.

We find what Jesus says in Luke chapter 16 and verse 16.

He says the law and the prophets were until John until John.

It's all the point that he's making there was John was going to be the last prophet.

And the Old Testament talked about John being considered the new Elijah that he would come and he would start talking about the coming Kingdom.

In fact, the very words out of his mouth were repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

And so John was the new Elijah that he was coming to prepare, but the Old Testament gave him the authority to offer up a new things.

New Concepts, new ideas.

And so this is what John did and also you remember the Old Testament allowed the coming Messiah to provide new information as well.

And so when you read some of the information in chapter 5 of Matthew, you find Jesus saying you have heard it said of old, but I say to you now, he says that several times and the sermon on the mail and that is you have said, but I say and so he's adding something new, he's not adding to the law because the law has said, he can add these new things, that was his responsibility.

And so fine here, that to some degree.

The law was until John the last prophet of the Old Testament and the law.

In verse 14 was nailed to the cross, sing that song, it was nailed to the cross.

It was nailed to the cross, write the law of Moses.

The old Covenant law was nailed to the cross and tasted.

It was taken out of the way.

It was known that had no more power.

It was no longer efficacious for anything.

And so, all of it was removed by Jesus At The Cross.

And remember, as we're talking about how, John, and Jesus could both add new information.

Well, that's exactly what God, the father said to do.

You remember at the Mount of transformation Transfiguration, in Matthew chapter 17, we find that Jesus is appearing, on the mount with Elijah and Moses.

Moses represented the law, the law of Moses, and Elijah represented the prophets.

And so you remember that, a voice came out of heaven.

And said, this is my beloved Son.

Hear.

Ye him.

In other words, you're no longer going to listen to Moses and you're no longer going to listen to Elijah, but you are going to listen to my son beginning.

No.

He has the words of Life Peterson.

Where can we go?

Lord for you have the words of life and he had the words of life.

Now.

On that occasion.

I know we read in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3 beginning of her 6 that the apostles were the Ministers of the New Covenant and other words.

They were Ministers of a new body of Doctrine.

They were teaching the old body of Doctrine.

They were teaching the old Covenant law.

They were now teachings of Christ, the law of Christ, and fine, and along that line in Galatians chapter 3. We find this interesting Passage.

So Paul writes what purpose then does the Lost serve?

It was added because of transgression sin till the seed should come.

And that's that it was talking about in contacts is Jesus Christ.

And so until the sea till Christ should come, so the law had a purpose, but the law was until Christ.
