Lessons from OT Ceremonial Law
Jeff Schone – (507) 354-8221 ext 289 or schonejl@mlc-wels.edu
The Lord communicated the dual truths of Law and Gospel in a powerful, vivid and memorable way in the years before Christ. While NT Christians are free, in Christ, for the legal requirements of the OT Ceremonial Law, they can benefit from the lessons and truths communicated. This presentation looks at the following questions:
1) What is the nature of God’s communication through symbol and figure in OT Ceremonial Law?
2) What are the vivid and pointed lessons taught through the OT Ceremonial Law?
3) Is there Legal Regulation/Ceremonial Law in the NT…and for NT Christians?
