Is Christ's earthly ministry still the message for today?

No, Christ's earthly ministry belonged to the past, just as the Old Testament economy did. The message for today is the gospel of grace based on His death, burial, and resurrection, revealed through the letters and writings of the apostle of the Gentiles.

Les explains that Christ's earthly ministry is a part and parcel of the past, like the Old Testament economy, and has faded off the scene. It has no power for today, and focusing on it leads to a dying church and apostasy. Instead, we must come into the letters and writings of Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles, which set forth the gospel of grace based on Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Christ came, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive the positioning as adoption of sons. But the message for today is not His earthly ministry; it is the revelation given through Paul, and all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, underscoring the need for that grace.
