The Teachings of the Lord
In this video we will delve into the topic: The Teachings of Christ. The parables spoken and the healings done by our Lord get a lot of attention. But He always taught the people first. The Sermon on the Mount is a composite of the teachings He taught over and over again. This video is like an introduction to the next series of studies as we dig into the Sermon on the Mount. Here is an excerpt from this video to encourage you to listen all the way through.
There is a veil that must be drawn back from our minds so we can understand the teachings of Christ. Even as the Holy Spirit works to draw a lost person to the point of receiving Christ as Lord, He is also the One Who enables us to understand the teachings of Christ. It is the truth as revealed by the Spirit that comes alive in our hearts and frees us from the bondages of false teachings and the corruption of the culture of the world.
The Apostle Paul put it this way: “But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away” (2 Corinthians 3:14-16, NLT). The quest for the Truth takes us along the path to attain the higher spiritual ground made available to us through our inheritance in Christ.
