1 CHAPTER 6 JESUS AND THE OLD TESTAMENT

2 The old testament in Jesus day was a collec4on of scrolls. People did not carry scrolls around with them. An Isaiah was 24 feet long.

3 Scrolls were read in the synagogue by rabbis. The literacy rate in Galilee in Jesus day was around 10%. Highly likely that Jesus could neither read nor write. Does this bother you?

4 What we do know is that Jesus was very well versed in the Old Testament as He quotes it oken. In Jesus day, according to the Mishnah, children at the age of 5 began studying the scriptures, and by 10 they were studying the Mishnah, the oral tradi4ons. My guess is that most was handed down orally from the Rabbis to the students so there was no need for Jesus to be able to read or write.

5 Which three books of the Old Testament ofen quote? Psalms the Wri4ngs Isaiah the Prophets Deuteronomy the Torah If nothing else, we should thoroughly familiarize ourselves with these three books.

6 AKer His bap4sm, Jesus goes into the wilderness for 40 days where He is tempted. Read MaHhew 4:1-11 Where do Jesus responses come from? MaShew 4:4 Deut. 8:3 MaShew 4:7 Deut. 6:16 MaShew 4:10 Deut. 6:13

7 What is unusual about Satan s comment in verse 6? He is quo4ng from Psalm 91:11,12 What do you think about Satan quoqng from the Old Testament?

8 The author says that just because someone quotes scripture does not mean that that person is from God or God s will because even Satan can quote scripture. What do you think about that statement?

9 Jesus challenges the Pharisees as well as His hearers to move beyond the leser of the law to the spirit of the law. What does this mean? How is this relevant today?

10 Read Numbers 15:32-36 Jesus challenges the Jewish leaders by refusing to abide by the Sabbath restric4ons. He says it is OK to heal or pluck grain on the Sabbath. Read Mark 2:27 What do you think about Jesus going against the established religious posiqons? Are there established religious posiqons we should oppose today?

11 There are other 4mes Jesus counters the prevailing thinking. Read MaHhew 5:21-22 Read MaHhew 5:27-28 Read MaHhew 5:38-42 Read MaHhew 5:43-45 What do you think about Jesus comments?

12 At one point, Jesus takes direct issue with Moses. Read Deuteronomy 24:1-4 Read MaHhew 19:7-9 The author says Jesus believed that Moses might have shaped the commands in ways he felt were needed and did not fully capture the will of God. What do you think of this statement?

13 The author says that Jesus ethic was a call to radical obedience to God. What does that mean? One defini4on of radical - favoring extreme changes in exis4ng views, habits, condi4ons, or ins4tu4ons What changes religious, poliqcal, social, etc. do you see that are needed today?

14 Jesus called out religious and poli4cal leaders for their hypocrisy. Jesus showed amazing mercy for the the outcasts of society such as tax collectors, pros4tutes, lepers, thieves, adulterers, and drunkards. Do we call out hypocrisy and show mercy?

15 Ezekiel was a prophet of the Exile trying to help the Jews make sense of the destruc4on of Jerusalem and the Temple. He was also plan4ng seeds of hope that God would one day restore and heal them. The author says that much of Jesus sense of iden4ty and mission was shaped by reading Ezekiel 34.

16 Read Ezekiel 34:1-10 Read Ezekiel 34:11-20 Read Ezekiel 34:21-31 How do you see these verses relaqng to Jesus mission?

17 The Old Testament talks about two different kinds of Messiah. Jesus relates to the one in Isaiah. Read Isaiah 53:1-12 Why do you think Jesus chose this version of a Messiah over the warrior king version?

18 Jesus used a prophecy from Zechariah when entering Jerusalem for the last 4me. Read Zechariah 9:9 Read MaHhew 21:1-7 Why does MaHhew have Jesus riding on two animals?

19 Jesus quotes from Psalms on the cross. Read Psalm 22:1 Read Psalm 31:5 Was it a surprise when you first found out that Jesus was quoqng from the Psalms while on the cross?

20 We have seen that the wri4ngs of the Old Testament profoundly shaped the heart, life, and ministry of Jesus. We see He favors the passages that portray God s mercy. Should we not also choose verses that portray mercy instead of judgment?

21 Read MaHhew 22:37-40 These verses are the lens through which Jesus read the Bible. We need to us these same lens when we read and apply the scripture in our own lives.
