But I Say

Part 2

March 24, 2018 • Matt Rosenberg

The Pharisees are seen by most people as the adversaries of Jesus because of their many disagreements with Jesus in the New Testament. The truth is both Jesus and the Pharisees taught from the Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures). Their biggest disagreement being that Jesus often equated himself with God and this made some of the Pharisees angry. Where rabbis spoke opinion, Jesus spoke with Authority; The authority of the One who wrote the Word in the first place. Jesus never said anything new. He taught ancient truth with authority. The authority He spoke with drew large crowds and both excited the people and frightened the establishment. Jesus is the Word of God in flesh and He is calling all people to turn back to God, not just a few thousand years ago but still…today! Part 2 of Jesus Never Said Anything New.
