MARK 1:44 THE LAW OF MOSES AND YOU
Mark 1:44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
During his earthly ministry Jesus upheld the law of Moses. Jesus was telling him to make the offerings commanded under the Old Covenant. The covenants were only made with Israel (Hebrews 8:8 Romans 9:4). In the Gospels, the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Jesus came to minister to Israel to confirm their promises (Romans 15:8). The Old covenant at this time, was still in effect.
So many fail to recognize that the law was for the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20) and the law was given under the old testament. The covenants old and new are only for Israel (Jeremiah 31:31 Romans 9:4). Some follow Christ according to the gospel books of the Bible (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and while they are profitable for us, fail to recognize they are putting themselves under law not grace (Romans 6:14). Church doctrine for us is only found in Paul's epistles.
