Jesus challenged their belief system and yours too
Jesus challenged their belief system and yours too
Jesus challenged the people's ways and belief system and introduced the Kingdom, but all the Pharisees could hear Him say is "break the law" and they thought He was a false Messiah.
Their belief system says "you shall NOT drink blood, or you will be cut off" but Jesus said to them "Drink My blood and eat My flesh".They thought He was out of His mind and did not want to follow Him.
NOWHERE EVER did they have ANYTHING written with what He taught. He IS the revelation of the Kingdom and brought teachings which are OPPOSITE to ANYTHING anyone has EVER HEARD!
Imagine how He still challenges us today with our own belief system.
Imagine when you've heard all your life about sins, continually asking God to forgive you of your sins, tithing, first fruit, sacrificing all for God, obedience, repentance, righteousness, holiness, spiritual disciplines, fasting, prayer, and how to maintain your salvation - and Jesus comes and CHALLENGES all your paradigms, and removes all these foundations so He can build new ones.
Imagine He speaks to you the OPPOSITE of what you've heard all your life, and you go..... what? This is blaspheme, it's not what all churches teach. It's not what I've heard, it's contrary to........................ what I know."
What if this is what God meant when He said "do not lean on your own understanding, but trust Him?"What if everything you've learnt, you need to consider as rubbish, as Paul had; and let the Holy Spirit teach you all over again?
What if it's true when God said that He subjected ALL humanity under futility and WE were ALL kept in custody and raised under the law and being shut up to the faith, until faith is revealed?
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Gal 3:24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Rom_8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
Be open to the Spirit and don't lean on your own understanding. You've heard it say; but I SAY, said Jesus and in their eyes, He broke their own doctrines which were written in their Bible.
