3 September 2017 - MegaFest 2017 ManPower Session - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineAll Scripture is inspired of God, but not every word in Scripture is the Gospel. Exodus 21:1-6 - After God gave the Ten Commandments, He gave a statute about bondservants. The Bondservant refers to our Lord Jesus. Jesus could have returned to Heaven at any time without us, but He chose to stay and die at the cross, in full submission to the will of the Father. Jesus is still the divine servant today. When John saw him in a vision, Jesus was wearing a golden girdle (servants wore a girdle). ““Now these are the judgments which you shall set before them: If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing. If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself. But if the servant plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ then his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him forever.” (Exodus 21:1-6 NKJV) After Jesus rose from the dead, He appeared to the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus and expounded to all things concerning Himself. He restrained their eyes from recognizing Him in person because He wanted to give us all an equal opportunity to see Him in the word of God. The disciples said between themselves, "Did not our hearts burn...". A ministry from the Lord will lead to burning hearts. The Greek translation says: Faith comes by hearing and hearing the spoken word of Christ (rhematos Christou).
John 1:17 - Truth is on the side of grace. The Law is true but it is not the Truth that sets you free.
The Law demands righteousness but will not lift a finger to help. Grace imparts righteousness. The Law says take off your shoes for this is holy ground. Grace says put on his shoes for he has a right. The letter kills but the Spirit gives life. “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17 NKJV) Romans 5:19 - It is not our obedience that makes us righteous. It is by Jesus' obedience that we are made righteous. No amount of doing good could make us righteous. What Adam did was so powerful that we were stuck in the cage of sinner-hood. If what the First Adam did was so powerful, what makes you think you can undo what the greater Last Adam (Jesus) did? “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.” (Romans 5:19 NKJV)
