Law Supplanted by Grace

This is another nuggets from the Lord that set me free. You can never understand this truth if you sit under a legalistic preaching and if you are still self conscious and not Christ conscious. I praise God that He opened my eyes to see this truth and on this solid foundation, I am able to behold more of the revelation of His glory which made me grow up in Him not to be an infant anymore, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching.

Only then you can understand what He meant by His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.

The Transfiguration

Jesus in His three and a half years of ministry, we can see in the bible that He always took His disciples with Him and the name of Peter, James and John were mentioned the most.

Mount Hermon covered with snow

In Hebrews, Peter is "Kepha" which means Stone, James is "Ya'aqob" which means to supplant and John is "Yohanan" which means Grace.

Law (two tablets of stone) is to be supplanted by Grace!

Jesus took this three disciples up to a mountain to pray. And at the mountain, Moses and Elijah appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus about His death which He was about to bring fulfillment at Jerusalem. His death was the theme of heaven.

Moses represents the Law, Elijah represents the Prophet and Jesus represents Grace. Peter, represents those who boast of his love for the Lord, wanted to put Moses, Elijah and Jesus on the same level by proposing to put up three shelters for them, but Father God said, " This is My Son, Whom I have chosen; listen to Him." The instruction from the Father is to listen to Jesus, that is Grace, not Law or Elijah!

In this short passage, our Father in Heaven is trying to tell us twice that grace is to supplant law and Prophet. I was taught that if God tells you once, it is an important thing. When God tells you twice, it is a very important thing. In the books of Gospel, God is telling us that grace is about to supplant Law. While in Paul's letters, He is telling us that Law had been supplanted by Grace!

I thank Him for this wonderful truth.
