Very good sermon. Some people are so fearful of the law. There are two laws: love God, love your neighbor. And there are over 600 examples of how to do that in the OT Law plus hundreds more in the rest of the Bible. Growing up all I heard about the OT law was about "shellfish." Then I read it and realized they meant they were "selfish." The curse of the law is in Deuteronomy 29. It's pretty wild. That is the curse that was nailed to the cross so we can focus on loving our neighbor to the best of our ability and not worry about falling short. When we serve the poor, the poor become Christ to us. That is what Jesus means when he says "whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me."
Jesus will point us to God’s glory forever: In JOhn 10:38, Jesus said “though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that *_the Father is in me, and I in him.”_* It is the Lord God that possesses Jesus. In Proverbs 8:22-36, it is Jesus who speaks of how he was “brought forth,” which comes from the word _poeisis_ in Greek meaning “to bring forth into existence.” In John 10:32, Jesus said, “many good works have I shewed you *_from my Father.”_* In John 16:25-27 Jesus said, he will *show us plainly of the Father* to those who believe he came out from God [God’s foreknowledge]. In John 14:10, only God’s power and spirit within Jesus does all things. In Matthew 12:28, Jesus said he cast out demons by God’s spirit, not of his own spirit. In John 7:16-18, Jesus professes that none of his teachings are of himself. In John 8:28, Jesus states that he only does what the Father has taught him. Jesus is the way, truth, and life that leads to the one true God, his Father and OUR Father. Amen.
What a fabulous service!
