  1. The road to Easter How Should we Understand the Bible? Genesis through Malachi: “The Road to the resurrection/Easter” Matthew through Revelation: “How We Live Because of the Resurrection/easter”

  2. The road to Easter Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 "But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. 39 "And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says,`The old is better.'" Luke 5:36-39

  3. Law School 6who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. 2 Corinthians 3:6-11

  4. Law School Why did God give the Law? It points us toward our need for Christ and convict us of our underlying sin. Galatians 3:23-25But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

  5. Law School Why did God give the Law? It points us toward our need for Christ and convict us of our underlying sin. It was given to restrain evil and reveal evil as evil.

  6. Law School 8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, . . . 1 Timothy 1:8-10

  7. Law School Why did God give the Law? It points us toward our need for Christ and convict us of our underlying sin. It was given to restrain evil and reveal evil as evil. ??? To provide a binding moral ethical guide for Christians. ???

  8. Law School “To the Jews I became like a Jew to gain the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law) to gain those under the law.” 1 Corinthians 9:20 NET

  9. Law School Galatians 2:21"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."

  10. Law School Galatians 3:10-13For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.“ 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for "the just shall live by faith." 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but "the man who does them shall live by them.“ 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree ").

  11. Law School Romans 8:3For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

  12. Law School Romans 6:14-15For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

  13. Law School Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. 3So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. Romans 7:1-6

  14. Law School 4Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another-- to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. Romans 7:1-6

  15. Law School Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

  16. Law School Romans 8:4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Galatians 5:14, 16, 1814For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." . . . 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. . . 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

  17. How the Old Testament was categorized Luke 24: 44

  18. How do we apply the Old Testament? 1 Corinthians 10:6, 11Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. . . . 11Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

  19. The road to Easter 10This is what the LORD says: "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29: 10-11 NIV
