Lessons

The lesson on March 20, 2011 was the 29th lesson in the From the Beginning study and started with the scripture reading of Matthew 5:1-3 KJV “1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” It’s good to see the handy work of God as spring manifests itself this time of year.  Just like the rainbow, when we see it we can remember the promise that God made but He has made other promises in scripture and we need to know which ones are ours!  The calling determines the hope and the hope that you have determines your inheritance!  When we move from the Old Tesament into the New, nothing has really changed except for the proclamation of the Kingdom and the King.  In the life of Israel, they are still a persecuted nation under bondage and nothing has changed in over 400 years and God in the fullness of times sent forth his Son to redeem them that were under the law.  God is very clear about who His ministry has been sent.  When we come to these teachings, we need to remember what God’s teaching is for us.  We learning in Part 28 from Colossians 1:25-28 KJV that the Apostle Paul said “25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:”.   The time of our visitation in not the Kingdom of Heaven.  We need to realize the calling that has been given to us and what has been given to Israel.
