Jesus As The New Moses By: John Marano DarellPusung Danny Gerris Mike Battista Armando Medel
Sermon on the Mount(Matthew 5:1-12) • Jesus gives people laws so they may receive the kingdom of heaven. • This is similar to Moses receiving the ten commandments on Mount Sinai for the Hebrews.
Treasure in Heaven(Matthew 6:19-21) • Jesus does not want people worshipping material possessions • Instead worship God who takes care of them • This relates to Moses when, after descending from Sinai destroys the idol of the golden calf created by the people.
Teaching About Divorce(Matthew 5:31-32) • Jesus gives laws to the Pharisees about divorce and why he does not allow it • When Moses was given the 10 commandments two of the laws were about staying faithful to your spouse and always loving them.
Feeding of 4000(Matthew 15:32-39) • Jesus descends from the mount, like Moses descended from Sinai • After feeding the people Jesus quickly leaves so that people would not worship him but worship God • Jesus wants people to focus on worshipping the true God as Moses did, not false idols
Walking on Water(Matthew 14:22-33) • Jesus commits a great deed by walking water and Moses splits the water while running away from Pharaoh • Jesus does this to prove a point • Moses does it to save his people
Massacre of Infants(Matthew 2:16-18) • Jesus survives an attack on male infants by King Herod that was meant for him • Moses survives a massacre of the first born sent by Pharaoh • Both encounter plots to kill them as children and survives
The Commissioning of the Apostles(Matthew 10:5-15) • Jesus has the twelve apostles to help spread the word of God • Moses uses Aaron and Deborah to help further his overall goal of getting to the promised land • Both of them have a team of people to help them further their goals
