Part 1 - God's Puzzle Solved

368 God’s Puzzle Solvedprevious belief, a person may ignore instruction in TheScriptures that is very plain and straightforward. A personwill read a verse and if it doesn’t agree with their understanding,they often read right over it as if it doesn’texist. Then, they become blind to the truth.In Luke 5:36-39, Jesus gave the parable about puttingnew wine into old bottles (wineskins). It does not workbecause the bottles would burst. You must put new wineinto new bottles (wineskins) because they will stretch asthe wine ferments. Then, in Verse 39, Jesus made a spiritualstatement. Christ said, “No man also having drunkold wine straightway desires new: for he said, the old is better.”This is a significant spiritual lesson. It depicts yourunderstanding of human nature. The old ways alwaysseem better than the new. Christ said that new spiritualtruths are harder to accept and most human beings preferto keep the old! Traditions eventually become perceivedas the so-called truth.Paul said The Law made nothing perfect (Hebrews 7:19).It only revealed sin. Then, Paul continued and said, “Butthe bringing in of a better hope did.” Plain, simple andclear – The Old Covenant could only tell you that you werea sinner. It could not change a person or make anyoneperfect. In Verse 22, Paul said, “By so much was Jesusmade a surety of a better testament.” In Chapter 8 Verse 6,Jesus, as Melchizedek, “obtained a more excellent ministry,by how much also he is a mediator of a better covenant.”This was established upon better promises. This New Testamentchanged The Law and its administration (Hebrews7:12). This New Covenant was a better way to approachGod because it could make a person perfect.
