You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

John 9:28 NKJV

Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

Good morning people of God! Arise and shine! Grace and mercy from our Lord Jesus Christ to you. As i was reading this passage, God showed something that's really opened up my eyes as a follower of Jesus. Father, i pray that You will touch those who read this and Holy Spirit that You may pour out Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding so that we will be able to see the truth, understand the truth and allow the truth to set us free. Bless Your Word Father. In Jesus name, amen!

Whose disciple you choose to be? Jesus? Moses? As i was reading this, onething that He revealed was life and death. This pharisees, they had an argument with a blind man that got healed. Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples. Ok now, this blind man, his sin was forgiven, he received sight and he received Life. Now the pharisees, though they observed the law of Moses, yet they did do as what it is said.

Sin and death came in the world by one man, Adam. Life and Grace came through one Man, His name is Jesus. Jesus is the New Covenant of love, grace and mercy. We live no more under the law but by His grace. Even when pharisees accused the lady of prostitution, the one question Jesus asked was, "if any of without sin." The grace of God convicts us to repentance. And it is by grace we have been saved.

The church of God has to know this truth. The 10 commandments only brings death, but Jesus brings grace and life. Those who are bound to the 10 commandments are forced to live accordingly but there is no willingness to do with all their hearts. Those who are bound to the 10 commandments - if you do not obey then you cannot get to heaven. But the grace of God, whoever admits His sins before God, He is gracious enough to forgive us. Yet, the grace of God is not a licence to sin. As we live in His grace, it means, we are no longer subjected to sin but we have overcomed it by His grace. Sometimes we may feel at peace after or during committing sin, beware it is the lie of the devil and it is a fake sin. Even before we sin, the Holy Spirit reminds us by His Grace, do not commit sin, but we still do. Yet God is gracious. But there is a time limit for His grace. Do not let God to take His hand away from our lives, if it happens, then we are vulnerable to the attacks of the devil and easily fall into the trap of sin.

No one is ever united with Jesus Christ until he is willing to relinquish not sin only, but his whole way of looking at things. The Grace of God enables us to discipline our lives to enter into this closest relationship with Jesus. Unless and until we have the revelation or the Redemption of Christ, we may not understand what grace is and what Christ has done for us at the Cross.

The subject of grace is deep. I can go on talking about grace because i have experienced it. The grace of God doesn't puts a yoke at our neck but it surrounds us and constantly reminds of His love towards us.
