For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens.”
It's that, if we hide from our sin, then it really doesn't exit. No one wants to think of themselves as a sinner so then let's redefine sin according to man and leave out what the Word of the Father has to say on the subject by claiming that the Father rejected His chosen, so the Son was given some secret mission to start all over at His first coming.
Isa 30:20 Though יהוה gave you bread of adversity and water of affliction, your Teacher shall no longer be hidden. But your eyes shall see your Teacher.
Joel 2:23 And you children of Tsiyon, be glad and rejoice in יהוה your Elohim, for He shall give you the Teacher of Righteousness, and cause the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
Mat 23:8 “But you, do not be called ‘Teacher,’ for One is your Teacher, the Messiah, and you are all brothers.
Joh 1:16 And out of His completeness we all did receive, and favour upon favour, 17 for the Torah was given through Mosheh – the favour and the truth came through יהושע Messiah.
Gal 3:24 Therefore the Torah became our trainer unto Messiah, in order to be declared right by belief.
The Torah given through Moses was the 'substitute' until the real Teacher arrived to teach us how to walk in righteousness as He is righteousness before the Father. The leader of the Father's choreographed musical of life, yet the children are still blinded to the choreographed steps the Son has given us to follow.
Did I forget to mention that the production the Son has been placed at the head of is an awesome musical like none that can be ceated in the minds of or by the hands of any man?
