After Adam under strong temptation chose the path of disobedience we see that God in love with His man moved into action into His plan to redeem man and reconcile Us back unto Himself. He moved into His recovery of the sight of the blinded, to save even to the uttermost that which was lost.
In Genesis 3:15 we get the first glimpse into the mystery of Christ. God said to Satan that old dragon/dinosaur the Serpent, I will put friction/enmity/hatred between your seed offspring and the womans seed,offspring (Christ from the miracle conception). You will strike him at the heel, but He will crush your head.
All the above that I wrote we did so to simply say this. From Genesis 3:15 to Noah, to Abraham, to Issac, to Moses and all the Law of the old covenant with all the writings of the prophets. ALL OF THEM, ALL OF THE LAWS COMMANDMENT'S CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES WITH ALL THEIR MULTIPLE BLOOD SHEDDING SACRIFICES INCLUDING THE PASSOVER LAMB and ALL THEIR WRITINGS were all together the SHADOWS of Jesus Christ. They were all the SHADOWS cast by Jesus our Lord as He was walking and making His way thru-out the ages to the day of the blood of His Cross IN THE ULTIMATE GREAT SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF for the putting away of sin and it's authority over the world. The Law and everything therein was all together the shadow of Jesus the Son of God as he was walking and making His way to the Cross. THAT LIGHT IS SO IMPORTANT.
SO WHY ARE YOU WALKING STILL IN THE SHADOW OF CHRIST when NOW WE CAN WALK IN HIM AND HE IN US THRU THE SPIRIT IN SPIRIT MIX GIVEN US IN THE NEW COVENANT ESTABLISHED UPON FAR GREATER RELATIONSHIP & BLESSING PROMISES ? PROMISES FAR GREATER THAN THOSE THAT WERE WRITTEN IN THE SHADOW.
THE SHADOW CAN NEVER BE GREATER THAN THE ONE WHO CAST THE SHADOW. Would you rather be married to the SHADOW of the one you love or to their Spirit and body-TO THE REAL THEM. Personally I want the real deal. I want Christ and more of Him daily. GRACE GRACE GRACE provides it.
The Law with all it's blood sacrifices was the Lords Shadow. Grace brings us into the realities of God in Christ into us and us into Him. The Law which was the shadow of Christ came to us by Moses, BUT GRACE AND TRUTH which was THE REAL DEAL came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17-18) (Read John 17 entire chapter.
None of us can hug the shadow of a man or woman. None of us can enjoy a true fellowship with just the shadow of a person. None of us can have a real conversation and love relationship with just a shadow. We need to lay holt on the one who is casting the Shadow for our cravings to be really satisfied. Look unto Jesus Christ. His is what all the Law and the old covenant was the shadow of. Turn to the Word that became flesh. Turn to Jesus Christ who became flesh and dwelt amongst us. In Jesus is and dwells all the Godhead bodily realities.
Why remain only in the shadow when you can have the Son of God in you Himself in a Lord in servant Father in son beautiful relationship fellowship right now on earth and for all eternity?....Amen.
P.S. The Law brought us all to the Cross of Christ. I have been crucified with Christ Paul wrote. The Cross of Christ brings us to the sacred holy place behind the before forbidden veil wherein we all by faith in Christ blood come unto God and God baptizes us with the Spirit of the Holiest of all. The one that the high priest feared behind that veil as he entered has now commanded you and I thru faith in His Sons blood to come boldly into His presence, unto the throne of Grace knowing and believing in the love He has for us in Christ. CHILD LIKE FAITH.....deno.....share freely.
