Matthew port 2
Matthew for amateurs illustration number two
title of this example the New Testament
Standard the New Testament Canon so we should
we should audit a smidgen of example one
which was about the occasions and the
society that Jesus lived in extremely
momentarily here to sort of set the stage
since some of you weren't in this
class when we initially began so Jesus was
brought into the world during the prevailing time of the
Roman Empire the Roman Empire managed at
the time that Jesus was conceived
Palestine is heavily influenced by the
Romans politically it's managed by a Roman
representative who is King Herod kept up with
by the Roman military under Pilate and
driven in their everyday undertakings by the
well off Sadducee clerics and their principle
educators the Pharisees the nation at
this time is a hotbed of political and
social disturbance and it is enduring
the chain of century hundreds of years of
unfamiliar mastery and furthermore likewise blended
up by brilliant assumptions for a sort of
a military political Messiah that will
free them from subjection and reestablish them
to the brilliant period they're thinking the
brilliant period of Solomon when they were a
politically influential nation when things were extraordinary and
they're expecting this so Jesus comes
along he's brought into the world in Bethlehem he lives in
Egypt for some time he's brought up in
Nazareth by a helpless couple he grows up
like other young men learning an exchange
figuring out how to peruse the law joining in
gathering place and consistently in any case
going to sanctuary love celebrations and
et cetera we realize that he
enters public service at the period of
thirty going up against individuals
going up against the Pharisees facing
the Sadducees going up against the lord
going up against the Roman chiefs with the
guarantee that he is the Messiah and he is
the expectation of Israel
also, you need to think currently considering
what they were anticipating no big surprise they
were astounded no big surprise they were
astounded it resembled whiplash she was
the last person they thought was going to
be the savior yet they couldn't deny
the supernatural occurrences that was the issue you
realize that was the issue the issue
that they had so he is hailed as lord
he's killed as a crook and he's
restored ultimately to illustrate
his divinity and his lordship so there's in
a nutshell you know Matthew and some of
the things we discussed last week so
Matthew one of his devotees composes
regarding his life and lessons and activities
what's more, we have Matthew's record of these
things in what is known as the Gospel of
Matthew okay so there's a little
nutshell of what we did last time so I
need to discuss the New Testament
Standard today in this example on the grounds that
before we really talk about Matthew
himself and how we got his book I think
we should talk a tad concerning how
also, why the books of the New Testament
for what reason were they assembled in the first
place in the early church the as it were
composed sacred writing utilized at first was the
Jewish work or the sacred texts now
alluded to as the Old Testament right
the Apostles the Apostles rather utilized
these to contend the god of Jesus these
were the verification texts that they utilized in
expansion to their own you know in
expansion to their own lessons there
are additionally notwithstanding their observer of
the revival yet when they needed to
allude to sacred text to demonstrate that Jesus
was the Messiah they were alluding to
the Old Testament for instance in acts
section Acts part 2 stanzas 14 and 15
what's more, 16 Peter when he's proclaiming starts
he says yet Peter standing firm with
the eleven raised his voice this is on
the day of Pentecost Jesus has risen
from the dead forty days after the fact fifty
days after the fact at the banquet of Pentecost
numerous a huge number of individuals are in
Jerusalem Peter gets up starts to lecture
he says men of Judea and all you who
live in Jerusalem let this be known to
you and give notice to my words for these
men are not tipsy as you assume for it
is just the third hour of the day and I
forgotten to make reference to that the Spirit of
God had come over the missionaries they were
talking in tongues talking in
various dialects individuals were
stunned so Peter is saying you know these
men are not tanked alright as you assume for
it is just the third hour of the day yet
this is the thing that was talked about through the
Prophet Joel and afterward he cites Joel and
he says and it will be somewhat recently
God says that I will pour forward of my
soul on all humankind and your children and
your little girls will forecast and your
young fellows will see dreams and your old
men will dream dreams even on my
bondslaves all kinds of people I will in
those days pour forward of my soul and
they will forecast so what does Peter
do to demonstrate that what's going on
before these individuals is quite of
God's arrangement to bring the Messiah well he
says to them in Joel Old Testament
prophet the Prophet said when the
Savior comes you will know the Messiah
has come since everybody will have the
soul youngsters elderly folks individuals men ladies
the helpless everybody will have the soul
so you ask yourself well what do you
mean everybody will have the soul well
understand that in the Old Testament not
everyone had the soul I referenced
this in our other class on Sunday I mean
a couple of individuals had the soul and
just for a little measure of time the
prophets had the soul you know Isaiah
said the Spirit happened upon me alright and he
furthermore, he talked and even saw the lord for a
second for a couple of times the Spirit came
upon him and he forecasted and Sampson
the Spirit happened upon him and he did
extraordinary things and
yearly so just certain individuals had the
soul only for a period so the guarantee of
the Old Testament about the Messiah was
that when the Messiah comes everyone
will have the soul everyone will have
the soul not simply the Kings not
the prophets not simply the appointed authorities
everyone will have the soul that is
what Joel is discussing here that is
what Peter is alluding to here when
he's talking in Acts section 2 these men
are not intoxicated he expresses what you're seeing
here is the satisfaction of Joel's
prediction when Joel said when the Messiah
comes everyone will have the soul and
see here these twelve men they've all
got the soul they're all talking in
tongues etc okay
in second Timothy section I he proceeds
you realize he keeps on citing Joel and
I will allow ponders in the sky above
also, the earth beneath, etc thus
forward at any rate the fact I'm attempting to
make here is the verification text he uses to
show what is happening is of God
is back in the Old Testament why well
that is all they had they quite recently had you
know the Old Testament the New Testament
clearly wasn't composed then in second
timothy 3:15 paul says a smidgen
later on he says and that from youth
he's conversing with timothy here a youthful
evangelist is and that from youth
you have known the consecrated compositions which
can give you the insight that
prompts salvation through confidence which
is in jesus christ what consecrated compositions
the Old Testament what we call the Old
Confirmation those were the just hallowed
compositions accessible to the Apostles when
they started to lecture so Timothy came to
know Christ and salvation how well he
knew the Old Testament well how did that
help him the Old Testament pointed him
to who the Messiah would have been and
what to search for and what might occur
at the point when the Messiah came, etc thus
forward alright so with the spread of the
gospel through the proclaiming and the
marvelous works of the Apostles their
own works came to
be just about as legitimate as the Old Testament
Sacred texts particularly with holy places that
were comprised of primarily predominantly Gentiles
let's be honest the Apostles were instructing
however, they were likewise doing wonders would
it appear you know typical to you that the
individual who can raise someone from the
dead or somebody that can mend somebody
marvelously in the event that they express the thing I'm saying
to you comes from God
you can essentially you know accept
that so as the Apostles you know
served as they went as they
lectured as they performed supernatural occurrences
their works came to be acknowledged as
roused as of God
so the actual Apostles knew about
their obligation to instruct and to
safeguard for the congregation the expressions of
Christ and the power that had been given
to them to achieve this so
in Matthew section 28 for instance the
Messengers are Jesus says to the Apostles
helping them to notice all that I
directed you and lo I am with you
continuously even until the finish of the age and
in John part 14 26 Jesus says to the
Missionaries yet the partner the Holy Spirit
whom the dad will send in my name he
will show you all things and bring to
your recognition all that I said to you
thus the Apostles got what the
direct I'm attempting toward make here is that
the Apostles comprehended that they
themselves planned to express the words
of Christ and what they were going to
instruct would become legitimate for the
church alright and we know this in light of the fact that
they were they knew about this you
know they no one needed to let them know that
they got that so assuming we read for
model in first Corinthians part 2
it says Paul here it says he says to the
church yet we don't talk astuteness among
the individuals who are developed an insight anyway
not of this age nor of the leaders of
this age who are dying yet we
God's insight in a secret the covered up
astuteness which God foreordained before the
ages to our wonder the insight which none
of the leaders of this age has perceived
for in case they had perceived it they would
not have executed the Lord of wonder yet
similarly as it is composed things which eye
has not seen and ear has not heard and
which have not entered the core of man
all that God has arranged for the individuals who
love him continue to go he says for to us
God uncovered them through the soul for
the soul look through everything even the
profundities of God for who among men knows
the considerations of man excep >>>port 3
