God versus a letter written in stone a living revelation of God versus a letter written in stone and I want to start off in uh St John chap 1 verses 1 and 2 and then verse uh verse 4 14 this is this is pretty pretty amazing so um you I’ve never even dug this deep to even take the time to look at what I’m about to show you tonight but there is a huge huge difference and a gigantic insult when somebody works real hard to go back to the letter after we have a living Revelation that has been given to us verse one St John 1
verse1 he says in the beginning was the word word very familiar but then he says and the Word was with God but then he said and the Word was God so we are talking about God the Word was God we’re not talking about you know uh something that is expressing an idea or a thought between human beings we’re talking about God and then in verse two he says the same was in the beginning with God so the word which is God was in the beginning with God but then verse 14 he he he spells it a little bit more 14 um John 1:14 he says and the Word was
made flesh the word was made flesh we call him Jesus right the word was made flesh and the word that was made flesh dwelt amongst us the word that was made flesh dwelt amongst us and we beheld his glory the glory as of the only begotten of the father and the word that was made flesh was full of grace and truth the word that was made flesh we we call him Jesus was full of grace and truth if you understand that that say amen amen so Grace and Truth came by the word made flesh Grace and Truth came by the word made flesh and it was dwelling amongst
men it was that word that was made flesh it was a living revelation of God now listen to that the word that was made flesh and the word that was God when Jesus showed up they beheld a living Revelation or revealing or unfolding of God in other words when the word that was made flesh showed up it’s the first time man had ever ah gained an idea of what God was like let me show you something here go to 2 Corinthians um 2 Corinthians 3: 6 and 7 so it was a living revelation of God now we are comparing this this this
this living revelation of God to a letter written in stone we’re we’re comparing Grace and law the law is but the letter written and Engraving in stone the law was a letter letter letters written and engraven in stone say that again the law was a letter letters written and engraven in stone 2 Corinthians chap 3:6 says who also hath made us able Ministers of the New Testament and not Ministers of the letter written engravement and stone but of the spirit for the letter kth the letter kth and then it goes on
to say but the spirit gives life right and now listen to me carefully now now here here’s what I’m here’s what I’m trying to demonstrate here let’s look at this uh let’s define a word so you can see literally what it is and we compare it to what we just read here a word like I said is it is an expression of an idea or it’s an expression of a thought I have a thought I use words to express it I have an idea I use words to express it it conveys a complete idea from one person to another I’m I’m
saying words to you right now I I am conveying an idea I am conveying a thought from me to you if you understand that say amen amen so the word that was with God and the word that was God conveys a full and adequate idea of God the word just like words that I’m speaking or I write in a letter those words convey an idea or thought the word that was made flesh the word that was God has given to us the idea of God yeah oh my god do you see what I’m saying it gives us the idea of God it gives us and it conveys a full
and adequate idea of God because the word was made flesh it dwelt amongst us this idea of God was manifested to man in human terms understandable to a man this word that was made flesh given to men so they could behold it and see it the the the scripture says in first John that we heard it we held it we we be we beheld it now please put yourself in a situation before Jesus what is God like are you seeing what I’m saying before Jesus what what is how do you how do you describe God you they had writings but but you’re
going to see the the the love of God he says what I want to do is the idea of God I I’m going to allow it to become flesh the idea of God has now become flesh and you can Behold Him Glory to God so that which you beheld was God and is God so if you want to talk and we beheld his glory yeah so if you want to talk about God and you want to know what he’s like Jesus said the father father and I are one what else did he say he said when you see him see we need to quit this man this thing done already all right
so if you understand all that say Amen if you understand all that let me let me set this up all right 1 John 1 and one I’ll just reading King James he says that that which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes ain’t nobody saw God but now we heard him we saw him with our eyes which we have looked Upon Our Hands have handled the Word of Life they said our hands have handled the word of life so truly the word dwelt amongst us that man may know God and knowing him have life so he dwelt amongst us so we can know
him but not only so we can know him so we can have something that only comes from him life I know him I have beheld him and I have from him life now let’s compare that to the law because everything I just said is not so with the law the law can convey no adequate idea of God think about it for a moment the law conveys no idea no adequate idea of God think for a moment now I’m getting ready to say something I’m going to show you that you ought not ever even ever even ever be tempted to go back to the
law it offers shame and guilt and condemnation and death the law cannot give you life okay being the letter it is but Elemental and it is incomplete it does not reveal God to man uh you can study all that may pertain to the law without ever coming to an understanding of God read it read it all you’re going to hear all you going to read is the condemnation that comes the Judgment that comes the shame that comes it is not going to give you anything that reveals God if it was left up to the law the law could have never
revealed God to man my gosh so in it is found no revelation of his love the law has no revelation of his love none it was engraven now here’s a here’s a clue it was engraven and written upon Stones which symbolically is its inability to give life Stones is like you can’t it’s dead it’s Stone you know it it’s it’s Medusa Stones you remember that in school the lady with the snakes in her hair you hold it up you turn in the stone there’s no life there it can’t touch the hearts of
men nor can it be touched by the feelings of the infirmities of a man the law can’t touch your heart the Bible says in Hebrews 4:15 that that Jesus is touched with the feelings of our infirm he says for we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all Point tempted like as we are yet without sin Jesus he he feels us we feel his love but not the law the letter does not dwell among men the letter can’t do that the letter is not wrapped up in flesh it stands off yet men try uh to
find God and they try to find life in the law reject Jesus reject Grace go to the law and they’re trying to find life in the law you can’t that’s why if you miss miss if you if you dismiss Jesus and try to live your life by the law there is no life in the law now please don’t misunderstand me the law is not bad it’s just perfect the better part is the word wrapped up in flesh coming down and showing you who he is yet men try Romans Chapter 1:18 I want to read this what you find in the law Romans 1:18 he
says for the wrath of God that’s what’s revealed in the law is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and all unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness so you find the demand for righteousness in the law you find judgment because they failed to measure up to the righteousness and all that’s all been demanded so in 2 Corinthians chapter 3 and 6 where it says the letter kth that’s what he’s talking about the letter kth but the spirit brings life now just for a moment I want to just take just a little
uh Rabbit Trail and talk about how we should not desire to be under the law as many people do Galatians chapter 4:19 I want to read it in the King James and the NLT Galatians 4:9 King James NLT so it’s not it’s not strange that Paul’s writing to the Galatians who desire to be under the law here’s what he said to the Galatians who wanted to be under the law there are people today that want to be under the law and as long as you’re under the law you can’t see grace you can’t see life
now look what he says here but now after that you have known God or rather are known of God how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements where unto you desire again to be in bondage now look at this in the NLT there he’s saying a guy that desires to go back to living your life under religious law you you just went back to bondage I like what he says in the NLT he says so now that you know God or should I say now that God knows you why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and
useless spiritual principles of this world why I mean every every every every pastor we have in our church is just preaching out of his guts the grace of God and we are very blessed to have uh a a a church that arms Grace so you can Harvest it you know what I mean but it’s not so so and and and no matter how we preach it man we just preach it we preach it we preach it we preach it and there’s somebody out there saying well I don’t see it that’s cause you’re trying to get life from something that’s
