The Obedient Family (Part 1)- The Covenant Written On Stone Tablets.

The Obedient Family (Part 1)- The Covenant Written On Stone Tablets.


This raises the question about the Ten Commandments:


If Christ has abolished "the Law with its commands and regulations," has He also abolished the Ten Commandments? If "the Law" refers to the system as a whole, then it certainly includes the Ten Commandments at that system's heart (Ex 24:12; 31:18; 34:27-32; Dt 4:13; 5:2-22; 9:9-10; 10:1-5; 1 Ki 8:9; 2 Ch 5:10; Ne 9:13-14; Mal 4:4; Acts 7:38; Gal 4:24; Heb 9:4). Passages about the removal of the Law plainly show that the Ten Commandments are included in that removal. Take for example 2 Cor 3:1-18. Paul contrasts two kinds of writing, and two covenants.


You are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts (2 Cor 3:3).





The Covenant Written On Stone Tablets

"Tablets of stone" refers to the Ten Commandments (Ex 34:28), as Paul makes clear by contrasting the Old Covenant (written on stone) with the New Covenant (written on hearts, Jer 31:33; Heb 8:10).


He has made us competent as ministers of a New Covenant not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? (2 Cor 3:6-8).


In 2 Cor 3:6,7,9 Paul calls that covenant written in stone the ministry of death. By contrast, the better ministry, the New Covenant, brings life, righteousness and freedom (2 Cor 3:6,9,17,18). Did you notice the other great contrast? The Old Covenant's glory did not last, whereas the new glory lasts forever.


"The ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was..." (2 Cor 3:7). When Moses came from meeting God, Moses' face shone (Ex 34:29-35). But his glory failed to keep on shining.


By inspiration, Paul shows that this fact teaches an important truth: Moses' face lost its glory to show that the Old Covenant would lose its glory.


If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! (2 Cor 3:9-11).


Paul definitely speaks of the Ten Commandments the ministry written in stone tablets. That ministry was "fading away." It "has no glory now" compared with the New Covenant. Those who still follow the Old Covenant are the like people blinded by a veil (2 Cor 3:14-15; 4:3-4). But turning to Christ removes that veil, and gives true glory from God's Spirit (2 Cor 3:16-18). In other words, believers must now turn from the Old Covenant that was written in stone tablets, and turn to Christ and His New Covenant.


Dear Members or Friends, True Disciples or Leaders and Rulers

Lord Jesus' first disciples included His apostles. But they were not the last disciples, for He trained them to train others.

"Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).

Jesus our King did not say, "Make believers." A person may have some sort of belief, but never become a disciple. Our King Jesus does not say, "Make worshipers." People may give prayers and offerings without being disciples. All disciples believe and worship, but not all 'believers' and 'worshipers' are disciples. Our savior and King Jesus commands, "Make disciples." That term, as commonly used at that time, means, "Train learners who are committed to following their Teacher's instruction and example." Lord and our healer Jesus reinforces the meaning of continuing learning by saying, "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20). Some refer to Matthew 28:20 as the second half of the Great Commission. It may be more difficult to fulfill, but it is essential for spiritual health as you "grow up in your salvation." Hearing and obeying Christ our Lord and Savior, these are like air to the disciple. To stop breathing that air is to cease being a disciple.
