The Shepherd Who Would Come After Moses (Part 2)

 

   ‘And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, are not least among the ruling cities[a] of Judah, for a ruler will come from you   who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.’”                                                                Matthew 2: 6 (NLT)

 

 

  1. READ:  Acts 13: 38 & 39 and romans 10: 5 – 13.  Why was it necessity for Jesus to come to earth?

 

 

 

 

  1. READ:  John 1: 1 – 14.  Shepherds lead and teach by speaking the word and being an example of the word. What is the relationship between Moses, who taught the Hebrews to live by the word of God, and Jesus the Messiah?

 

 

 

 

    Be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you today. Then you will live and multiply, and you will enter and occupy the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors. 2 Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands. 3 Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.                                                                   Deuteronomy 8: 1 – 3 (NLT)

 

 

 

  1. By what extent did Jesus live by these words and teach them to others in His speech and action?  READ: Matthew 13: 1 – 9;   Luke 4: 18 – 21;    5: 1;   8: 21;   11: 28;   19: 45 & 46;   24: 27, 44 & 45
