If Jesus had come walking into Israel and giving them everything they wanted, He would really had been their Servant Slave.
If we want God to be used to give us what we want for our pride and lust, then we are serving ourselves and our passions. And God becomes the Golden Calf.
Moses took the 10 Commandments that God had written using His own ‘finger’…and Moses picked up the tablets and threw them to the ground because the people no longer believed in God but in idols.
It was Jesus Who then restored the commandments to the people in the New Covenant…Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, strength and mind and love your neighbor as yourself…because then you fulfill all 10 commandments.
The Covenant of Sinai was replaced by the new ‘Cornerstone’ of Jesus Christ in the New Covenant…
So we do not believe in the Bible in itself…it is a book…we believe in the Living God of Jesus Christ…can you see the difference here? We are in relationship with the Lord, His Word…Jesus is the Word Made Flesh. The Bible is human means, a book we can read and ponder, authored by God…but it makes no sense without the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ the True God, the True Man.
Jesus did not come to Israel as a miracle worker…and his divinity unchallenged.
Jesus came into the world as little baby, a human being.
