CHRIST CONFIRMED THE PROMISES
By Harold Steinbron
Scripture Reading: Romans
15:8
Many see Christ as the
beginner of a new order when He appeared. John walked out of the
wilderness after 400 silent years to announce that the Kingdom of
Heaven was ready to be set up on this earth. Then Christ the King
appeared as proof that God was indeed ready to establish Heaven on
earth in keeping with all the promises to David of a throne, to
Abraham of a progeny, and to others of
blessing to the whole
earth through His people being the head and not the tail, by keeping
the Commandments of God (Deuteronomy 28:10-13).
Our Lord appeared to
announce God's being ready to set up the long-promised
Heaven-on-earth ... nothing new here. Israel was rebellious and
crucified the King ... nothing new here. They killed the Twelve
after our Lord returned to Heaven, proving they did not want His
rule over them ... nothing new here.
Paul appears in the
middle of the Acts to announce he had been sent to the Nations
(Gentiles) ... Something NEW here! Until Paul, God always had a door
open to the non- Jew (Proselyte) ... the back door. Now God
announces that the front door of heaven is open to Jew and non-Jew
on the same basis. Guilty, hell-deserving sinners can now come by
faith in the One who paid for their redemption.
Our Lord came to confirm
centuries-old and valid promises, but the Acts records Israel's fall
to where the non- Jew always was ... something NEW
