About this sermon

You are a Jew living about 3 decades after the ascension of Jesus. Herrod’s temple stands in Jerusalem. The Levitical priests still function. The sacrificial system still functions. All of the ways in which the Old Testament scriptures have been taught and practice for generations among the Jewish people are taking place in your world every day. All of the feasts, the holy days, the purity rivals, the dietary laws,. and the rabbinical interpretations and applications of the law of Moses, are observed by your people. This would be true even though you may live somewhere in the east outside the land of Israel. But someone brought you the gospel. They told you the truth about Jesus of Nazareth. They demonstrated from the scriptures how Jesus fulfilled the hope of the Old Testament promise of salvation. Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is the long expected Savior of Israel and the World. Today’s text is about a Better Hope for mankind.
