MOSES
LUKE 24:25-27
Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (KJV)
We said that the Old Testament books and its message are still relevant. The message of the prophets in the Old Testament books were the sufferings of Christ and the glory that will follow which is about the death and resurrection of Christ. The prophets used different modes of communication to express the message of Christ. It is the same message of the death and the resurrection of Christ and the realities of the man in Christ which was preached by the apostles in the epistles.
We said that Jesus Christ and the apostles preached from the Old Testament books. Every mature believer should be able to preach Christ and the realities of the believer from the Old Testament books. However, what we are no more under is the old covenant or Old Testament in the context of the relationship with God based on the efforts of man, the laws of Moses and the blood of animals.
Therefore, in studying the Old Testament, we must look for the message which is Christ and not to make doctrine from the various modes of communication used to communicate the message of Christ.
Another context of the use of words we must understand is the use of the name “Moses”. We sometimes hear some believers saying that we are not to follow Moses, we are to follow Christ or Moses is dead and other phrases that try to make Moses obsolete.
From our opening text, Jesus taught his disciples from Moses. in this context, Moses was used to represent his writings. Jesus was referring to the book of Genesis to Deuteronomy. As we said, these books are the foundation for the Christian doctrine. These books contain the message of Christ. Jesus therefore rightly divided, excavated or mined the message of Himself from these books.
The teachings of the apostles were also from how Jesus taught from these books. To say that we are not to follow Moses will mean we are not to follow the teachings of Christ.
Jesus also said in
John 5:46-47,
“For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? (KJV).
This means that Moses wrote of Jesus. Also, in
Luke 24:44,
“And he said unto them, these are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. (KJV)
Here, we can also see that the phrase law of Moses is in reference to the message of Christ communicated through the writings of Moses. This means that the law of Moses in this context will mean the writings of Moses. Therefore, to say that we are not under the law of Moses must be explained in the right context. We have Moses as a person, Moses in reference to his writings and the law of Moses in the context of his writing.
CONFESSION: I teach Christ from the writings of Moses.
