#jesus and the old testament

Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.”

—2 Kings 20:5

[sunrisebythesea]

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

- Psalm 23 (NKJV)

Resisting Deception

The devil's strategy is deceptive: he first entices us to sin, leading us to compromise our principles. Once we've fallen into sin, he condemns us with lies, convincing us of our worthlessness and convincing us that God will not forgive us. This causes us to forget our true identity in Christ.

However, we have the power to resist this cycle. By submitting ourselves to God and resisting the devil (James 4:7), we can overcome temptation. If we do stumble, we should acknowledge our sin, seek forgiveness, and commit to moving forward without repeating our mistakes.

Let us not be deceived by the devil's tricks. Instead, let us stand strong in our faith and remember who we are in Christ.

Who better to raise two opposing Christ figures?

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;

For You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

"Dudes. Don't listen to those old testament assholes. There's a reason I made my own testament. Check out the stuff I said about kindness. Do that." -- Jesus, Son of Mary

Timeline Of The Old Testament

[immanuelillustrative]

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. Isaiah 53:2-8
