Jesus Called All of God’s Word the Law
What is amazing is that Jesus saw all of the Old Testament as the teachings from God, the Scriptures, or the Law of God. He saw the Old Testament as a unit that came from God, speaks for God, and is connected to all the God is doing in the world. Nine times the New Testament calls the Old Testament by the term “the law and the prophets”[4].
Notice in Luke 24 as Jesus was summarizing truth after His resurrection how He blended together Moses (the Law) with the Prophets and calls all of them the Scriptures.
God speaks with one voice through Moses, the Law, the Prophets, the Scripture. It is His Law or the Diving teachings of the Divine Teacher.
Luke 24:27, 44 (NKJV) And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. 44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”
Next time we will consider what Jesus said about the second half of that question: What Parts are Still Binding on New Testament Believers: None, Some or All? The answer we will see comes from God through Paul:
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Every word of God’s Word is from God.
Some of God’s Word was given just to Israel.
But most was given to everyone of all ages as the expression of the character of the God of the Universe whom we with new hearts WANT to serve, obey, please, and become in His image!
