Sacrifices

[JudgeRightly]

Doesn't the two great commandments cover the law.

"On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets" (Mt. 22:40).

Jesus was referring to the Mosaic law. Yes, if you keep the two great commandments, you will fulfil the law of Moses, but you must still keep the law if you do.

Just the greatest commandments?

No. He would have kept the ENTIRE Law. Else He would have been a hypocrite when He said:

I agree with you, Jesus would have obeyed all the commandments. For me it is trying to understand the relationship between the greatest commandments and forgiveness.

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. - John 15:13 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John15:13&version=NKJV

Amen.

First: Jesus taught He would be killed and resurrected in the context of it being predicted by the prophets: Lk 18:31 Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. 33 They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

34 But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.

>>>I can’t see any sacrifices!!

And on the road to Emmaus: Lk 24:25 Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself. Why was His death necessary??

>>>Nowhere Moses and the Prophet spoke of the sacrifice Messiah.

John, the beloved disciple claimed “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." which he must have learned from Christ when he taught them the full meaning of the prophets:
Is 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.
the doctrine that was summed up by John the Baptist, "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." Jn 1:29.

>>>Whoever believe in him not believe in him as a sacrifice!!

He offered Himself before creation to be the Lamb. Rev 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. and that death was our salvation: 1 John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.

>>>God, Jesus never command such a thing.
Jesus first message was: Repent kingdom of God on hand.
Thank you.

God didn't need a human sacrifice to save us, and Jesus was saving in his lifetime. Also, God was not pleased that they murdered Jesus, so God wouldn't have wanted Jesus to be a human sacrifice.

1 Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: 2:15 WHO BOTH KILLED THE LORD JESUS, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; AND THEY PLEASE NOT GOD, and are contrary to all men:

What was Christ's end-goal for coming to earth?
