Bible Question:
Jesus told the leper to tell no man what had happened between them both, but show himself to the priest and offer the gifts as Moses commanded. Is this text saying that, before Jesus died He kept the law of Moses, offering up the sacrifices that would later be fulfilled in Him? Or is it saying that He taught others to keep the law and not Himself? We know He never sinned so what's the point of Him killing lambs? I guess if He did it, it was for conscience sake as well. Help me out somebody.(Gal 4:4; Matt 8:1-4) |
Bible Answer: Jesus was a Jew. He lived according to the law, as did his apostles [ also Jews ]. The only difference being, he lived the law as God meant it to be, not just by the "added to" rules of the Pharisees etc. "New American Standard Bible (NASB) 23"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others." The law ended as such, with the death of the messiah, Jesus death. THEN, the apostles were no longer a part of Jewish religion, but true Christians. Romans 10:4 |
