Whose words carry more weight for us today: Jesus on earth to the Jew under the Law, or Jesus from His Ascended Place in Glory?
The words Jesus speaks from His Ascended Place in Glory carry more weight for us today than what He said on earth to the Jew under the Law. Everything Christ says from that ascended position comes through the Apostle Paul.
Les explains that he does not take away what Jesus said on earth, but he insists that what Christ said from His Ascended Place in Glory carries far more weight for believers today than what He said to the Jew under the Law. Les ties this to the mystery or secret that had been kept secret and was revealed to the Apostle Paul alone by the ascended Christ. He says everything Christ speaks from glory comes through Paul, and he references Deuteronomy 29 because it summarizes the revelations given to Paul.
