THE ADVENT TRUTH
Jesus is the God of the Old Testament.”
Let that sink in. The same voice that thundered from Sinai and wrote with His own finger on tablets of stone is the very One who walked the dusty roads of Galilee and said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). That’s not a new law. That’s not a “church age” rule. That’s the same eternal standard of love God has always upheld.
In John 8:58, Jesus declared, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” He claimed the divine name used in Exodus 3:14. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:4 that the Rock that followed Israel in the wilderness was Christ. Isaiah 9:6 calls the Child to be born “The mighty God, The everlasting Father.” Jesus is Yahweh in the flesh. So when He says, “Keep My commandments,” we must ask: what commandments?
He already gave them—with His own voice. Exodus 20 isn’t just “God’s law,” it’s Jesus’ law. That means the Sabbath commandment, written in the heart of the Ten, is not Jewish—it’s Jesus’ Fourth Commandment. That means the command against idolatry, against taking His name in vain, against murder, lies, adultery—all ten—are Jesus’ will for His people today.
Jesus didn’t come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). He lived it perfectly as our example and died to empower us to obey it through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:3-4). Grace doesn’t erase the Commandments; grace writes them on our hearts (Hebrews 8:10). When Jesus says, “If you love Me,” He ties love to obedience—not legalism, but loyalty.
So the real question isn’t, “Do the Ten Commandments still matter?” The question is, “Do you love Jesus enough to keep what He wrote?”
Jesus is the Lawgiver. Jesus is the Savior. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Obeying His commandments isn’t old-school religion—it’s New Covenant love. Will you walk in that love?
