Hebrews #34-G: The Items In The Tabernacle Point To Jesus - The Gold Jar of Manna | Brad Robertson
LIKE and SUBSCRIBE - / @bradrobertson7128 In this teaching, brad explains how the the manna in the gold jar points to Jesus as the bread of life and the giving of his body to establish the new testament of grace. Brad takes an in-depth look into John 6 (see notes on John 6:44 below). 43“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44“No one can come to me [to be raised up on the last day] unless the Father who sent me draws [brings with love] them, and I will raise them up at the last day. Who are those who come to Jesus to be raised up on the last day? Those who come to Jesus are those who are drawn by the Father. This simply means that God the Father, with passionate love, brings to Jesus on the last day to be raised up (awakened – Daniel 12:2-3) those who have believed. The word drawn in the Greek language means to passionately take from one place to another. This passion can be fueled with anger, with effort, with fear, or with love. Anger: Paul was dragged (the Greek word for draws) into the marketplace and out of the Temple by angry people (Acts 16:19; 21:30). Effort: The disciples were unable to haul (the Greek word for draws) the fish they caught, though they put effort into it (John 21:6). Fear: Peter fearfully removed (the Greek word for draw) his sword from its case or his belt to protect Jesus (John 18:10). Love: God, with loving-kindness, desired to draw (the Greek word for draw) the people of Israel to himself; yet they refused to come. In the Septuagint (the Jewish translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into the Greek language), the Greek word for draw in John 6:44 is the same Greek word for drawn in Jeremiah 31:3, where God says to the nation of Israel, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Even though God drew the people of Israel to him, most did not respond in faith but with rejection. Hosea 11:4 says, “I drew them with gentle cords, With bands of love, And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them.” Let’s read all of these verses in Hosea 11:1-4. “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2But the more they were called, the more they went away from me. They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images. 3It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I who healed them. 4I led [drew] them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them.” We see in these verses that though God drew the nation of Israel to him with loving-kindness, most of the people rejected God, choosing to worship Baal and images of false gods. God, with passionate, deep love for the nation of Israel, drew the nation of Israel to himself, but they refused to come. For Brad's books and other resources on grace, see the information below.
