Luke 11:52,53

“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the KEY TO KNOWLEDGE. You yourselves have not entered, and you have HINDERED those who were entering.”

When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to BESIEGE him with questions, waiting to catch him in SOMETHING he might say.

* WHAT BIG PROBLEMS DID JESUS HAVE WITH THE EXPERTS IN THE LAW? *

— They were taking away THE KEY TO
KNOWLEDGE–
— Jesus was standing in front of them, and
HE IS THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE–
— The experts did not realize Jesus was the
one the Law of Moses foretold about —
— The experts did not enter into the kingdom
of God, and they hindered those who were
entering–
— Instead of welcoming the KEY OF
KNOWLEDGE they opposed him fiercely–
— They besieged him with questions waiting
to catch him and accuse him —

* THE BIG PROBLEM WITH THE EXPERT
LAWYERS JESUS FACED WAS THEIR
TWISTING AND MANIPULATION OF THE
LAW *

* THEY USED THIER POSITIONS OF
INFLUENCE TO OBSCURE TRUTH RATHER
THAN SHOW THE TRUTH *

* JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUTH *

* HE IS THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS ALL THE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

* EVERY PROMISE OF GOD IN THE BIBLE IS
YES FOR YOU “IN CHRIST” AND WE SAY
“AMEN” *

* HE IS THE KEY TO ACCESS INTO THE VERY
PRESENCE OF FATHER GOD *

* HE IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING FREELY
GIVEN TO US BY GOD *

* HE IS THE KEY TO ABUNDANT LIFE *

* HE UNLOCKS YOUR…..

— HEALING —
— PEACE —
— FAVOR WITH GOD —
— PROSPERITY–
— ETERNAL LIFE —
— OVERCOMING–
— PURPOSE–
— SALVATION IN YOUR FAMILY–

“For we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an UNDERSTANDING, and we know him who is true, and we are
“IN HIM” who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God and eternal life.”

What do we know about the Apostle Paul?

* He was from the tribe of Benjamin *
* He was a Pharisee *
* A student of Gamaliel *
* Considered himself blameless *
* Persecuted the believers *
* A leading follower of the Law *
* Killing believers was right to him *
* Was extremely devoted to the Law *

What do we know about him after his salvation with Jesus Christ?

* He was chosen to preach the gospel to the
Non-Jewish people of the world *
* He received the message by revelation
From Jesus Christ *
* He was not taught by any man *
* Paul was sent to preach by God *
* He was not sent by man *
* He no longer tried to win man’s approval *
* He quit trying to be a man pleaser *
* He held close to Christ’s teaching *
* Paul defended the truth of the Gospel *
* He was imprisoned for preaching the
Gospel to non-Jewish people *
* Endured overwhelming persecution *
* Paul rebuked Peter openly for hypocrisy *
* Paul kept Jesus Christ’s teaching pure *
* He turned the world upside down *
* God did countless miracles through Paul *
* paul was beheaded for preaching *

God needed someone who would hold fast to the “TRUTH” he revealed through his Son.

Paul knew what the Law of Moses did in his life. He experienced all the futility of the traditions. The politics, the man pleasing, the superficial religion of being a Pharisee.

Paul said……

“BUT WHEN GOD, WHO SET ME APART FROM MY MOTHER’S WHOM AND CALLED ME BY HIS GRACE, WAS PLEASED TO REVEAL HIS SON “IN ME” SO THAT I MIGHT PREACH HIM AMONG THE NON-JEWISH
PEOPLE, MY IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS NOT TO CONSULT ANY HUMAN BEING. “

Paul reveals something powerful……

“THE GOSPEL I PREACH IS NOT OF HUMAN ORIGIN.”

“GO and make “DISCIPLES” of “All” Nations.”
