We have viewed the gospel of Jesus Christ through the eyes Isaiah in the old testament, and Luke in the new. Isaiah was a Jewish prophet, he lived before Jesus was born. Yet he foretold of his ministry in detail. Luke had the distinction of not walking with Jesus, he wasn't a disciple. He accquired his account of the gospel through divine revelation.In these lessons we have tried to remove the barriers of race, and position. The Pharisees and Sadducees were a supremist type of Jew. People had hang-ups even back then. In bibical times it appears to be more of a lineage thing, than one of color. Jews and Gentiles could very well look the same. Today we use tremendous amounts of time and effort, to determine whether God is Black or White. The initial challenge was to make the Jews aware of the significance, of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Those in seek of salvation, were no longer under the law. Everyone who accepts the gospel of Jesus Christ, is now saved by grace.
