181 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 1 - Part 1 - Book - 16 - They Did Not Know

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 1 * BOOK 16 MATTHEW 26,27: THEY DID NOT KNOW: HIS ARREST, HIS SUFFERING: WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD, NO FORGIVENESS OR REDEMPTION: CHRIST, OUR HIGH PRIEST Let's continue through the Four Gospels - Christ's earthly ministry. The Temple is still operating and Jesus is not permitting Gentiles to participate in His ministry. Luke Chapter 9 shows that even the Twelve, after being with Jesus for nearly three years, didn't understand the Cross. Here Jesus is speaking: Luke 9:44,45 Luke 18:31-34 "Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, `Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. Now Jesus is speaking of Himself. Verse 34: Let's look at John Chapter 20. John 20:9 Some people have counted about 360 different references of His first coming; His death, burial, and Resurrection; His ascension and His Second Coming. The prophets themselves couldn't understand. Now let's look at Paul's letter in I Corinthians Chapter 2. Alright, Paul is writing to the Corinthians then in Chapter 2 verse 7: I Corinthians 2:7 "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery (now there's that secret, there's that hiding aspect that God has hidden some of these things), even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: I Corinthians 2:8 John 20:30,31 "And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing, ye might have life through his name." That He was The Christ, the promised Messiah. Let's use Peter, Mary, and the Eunuch for examples. Jesus asked the Twelve again just shortly before His Crucifixion: Matthew 16:13b-16 "...Whom do men say that I the son of man, am? Period. Jesus told Martha that: John 11:23-27 "...Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, `I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.' Jesus said unto her, `I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?' She saith unto him, `Yea Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, ...'" Matthew 26:1-5 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. The Sovereign God was in control. Go to Psalms Chapter 2. Psalms 2:1,2 Gentiles, the non Jew), and the people (and who are they? You have the Gentile world as well as the Nation of Israel) imagine a vain thing? The religious rulers of Israel. So now you have the Gentile rulers which was Rome, and the religious rulers of Israel) they take counsel (now what's the next word?) together,..." Prophesy had dictated that they would work hand in glove to reject the King. Matthew 26:5 "But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people." Never in Israel's history did they sacrifice animals on the Sabbath. There is no record of them ever sacrificing or killing an animal on the Sabbath day. (Numbers 28:9-10 and perhaps other places.) Les always shares straight from the risen Lord that one must believe Paul's Gospel in one's heart for salvation, as found in I Corinthians 15:1-4. You go back into the Old Testament and you'll never find that the Jews offered an animal sacrifice on the Sabbath. Matthew 26:6,7 "Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment,..." Matthew 26:7b Now verse 9: Matthew 26:9-11 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, `Why trouble ye the woman? I'm not belittling the poor. Matthew 26:12 Remember after death, the body was anointed with ointments and perfumes. So Jesus says, "She's doing this in view of my burial." Did they know what Jesus was talking about? Matthew 26:13 "Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel (that's the Kingdom Gospel. As an overview now, we come through these events in Chapter 26 where Judas makes the deal with the High Priest to betray Jesus. We see Jesus foretells Peters denying Him three times. Whenever totalitarian governments come on the scene and begin to arrest their people, what time of day do they most generally do it? What time of the day do they choose to arrest Jesus? Nighttime. You know the account of how Judas had betrayed Jesus, and had led the soldiers. Now let's look at verse 48: Matthew 26:48-50 I've commented over the years that Jesus many times responded with a question. For example, contrary again to what most people think, the last supper was not the Passover lamb. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
