The Betrayal of Jesus
The Pharisees were always offended at Jesus and everything He said.
They did not know how to worship The Father in Spirit and Truth, only by their flesh and carnal customs of the old Law.
They rejected His Teachings and sad to say, many still do today. In vain they worship Him, teaching for doctrines the commandments and traditions of man.
Jesus Himself speaking here:
“But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Matthew 15:9.
Many will stay stuck in the old Outer Court worship, never coming to the new, while others will go back to the old, full well, rejecting The New Covenant and will, in essence, be betraying Jesus.
Outer Court worship:
“Then verily the first Covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.” Hebrews 9:1.
“Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.” Hebrews 9:10.
Six (6) is also the number of man and represents the carnal mind of man the day in which man was created.
So they try to interpret the (66) Books of The Bible with their carnal mind, and never receive the revelation of Jesus Christ, which can only be revealed by the Spirit.
The Spirit, revealing the whole revelation of what He did for us, and the reason He came and died was to redeem us and give us a new covenant.
While they confess to have the Revelation of Jesus Christ, they actually make His Word void through their traditions and the teachings of them.
“Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.” Mark 7:13.
They have never learned how to rightly divide The Word of Truth what is old and what is new. So they go back and forth until they are finally taken completely out of the new and living way.
Jesus rebuked these carnal religious leaders, time and time again. He called them blind leaders of the blind and He said if the blind lead the blind they will all fall in the ditch together.
The Apostle Paul taught us to be established in the present truth!
Jesus taught us that new wine must be put in new wine skins. He said many would say the old is better.
Jesus gave us a better covenant made and built upon better promises. He taketh away the old that he may establish the second. The scripture is quite clear.
“And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.” Luke 5:36.
“No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.” Luke 5:39.
“Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.” Hebrews 10:9.
“Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.” Ephesians 2:15.
“”It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, “Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.”
From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” John 6:63-66.
One cannot teach man the Revelation, it has to be revealed to them by the Spirit. However, they must also have a desire and love for the truth in order to receive it and be made free from these carnal doctrines.
Jesus called them “blind”. He spoke of a people who had eyes but, see not and ears but hear not. Their own stubborn religious pride and rebellion will cause them to go backward never fully embracing the True Revelation of Jesus as they continue to hold to these wrong religious mindsets.
They will never truly have the revelation of Jesus, nor will they understand or know him as Savoir and Redeemer while they are in this religious pride.
The sad truth is one day, those who rejected Him and His Teachings, holding to these wrong mindsets, will one day stand before The Father and be judged and they will find out then that they truly needed a Savior and that all those religious dead works, did not save them.
Only by this new and living way by The Blood of Jesus, can a man be fully cleaned, saved, and redeemed! Nothing but The Blood of Jesus!
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.” Hebrews 9:14-15.
“That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto The Father.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” Ephesians 2:12-19.
The pearl is known as the most precious gemSTONE ever discovered.
Jesus Christ is The Chief Corner Stone – the most precious Stone. It cost Him everything to redeem His Bride.
He is The Stone which these carnal builders rejected and the ONLY true Foundation.
We are his lively stones bought back and redeemed with a great price, Jesus Christ The Pearl of Great Price and He purchased us back from the fall of man (pride/ sin) through His Own Blood.
The true Bride of Christ is His lively stones, built upon the only Foundational Stone, that is Christ.
She is clothed in The Garment of Salvation, being fully washed and redeemed by The Blood of The Lamb.
She is clothed and robed in The Righteousness of God that comes by Faith, not the old workings of the old order/ covenant of death. These lively stones are well able ministers of The New Covenant!
“And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” Philippians 3:9.
“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on HIM (Jesus) shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe HE (Jesus) is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” 1 Peter 2:6-8.
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12.
“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished.
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to The LORD, the vail shall be taken away. Now The LORD is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of The LORD is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of The LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of The LORD.” 2 Corinthians 3:6-18.
All false foundations will be shaken in this season and crumble to nothing — and those who stand upon them have already fallen from Grace.
Repent from where you have fallen!
