Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life has freed me
in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and of death.
Hebrews 1:1 God, having spoken of old in many portions and
in many ways to the fathers in the prophets, (2) Has at
the last of these days spoken to us in the Son.
-----------------------Words of Ministry---------------------
In God's economy today Christ is the living lawgiver, the
One who has imparted Himself into our being as the Giver of
the law of life. Thus, Christ is our real Moses, who was a
type, a shadow of Christ. The law Moses gave was not the
real law; rather, it was the law of dead letters. The real
law is the law of life, which only Christ can give us.
Because He has given us the law of life, He is the real
lawgiver. Furthermore, in God's economy Christ is the real
prophet. Elijah also was a type, a shadow, of Christ, who is
the true prophet (Acts 3:22). Christ is within us not only
to impart the law of life into our being, but also to speak
for God. Christ speaks forth God. Because we have Christ as
the real Moses and the real Elijah, we do not need any other
Moses or Elijah in God's New Testament economy.
As we await the coming of the kingdom, we must learn not to
rank Moses, Elijah, or anyone else on the same level as
Christ. Instead, we need to learn to experience Christ as
our Moses and Elijah. He is the One imparting the law of
life into us. In other words, as our present, real,
subjective Moses He is regulating us from within. Moreover,
He is also our present and subjective Elijah, constantly
speaking for God and speaking forth God within us. We must
listen to Him.
---------------------------A Prayer----------------------------
Father God, today You are imparting Your laws into me, not
by Moses but through the Spirit of life in Christ. You are
also speaking to me, not by Elijah but through Your Son.
Lead me to pay my full attention to Him. Amen.
