The Fasted Life V: Christ Still On Display
This powerful teaching explores why Jesus fasted for 40 days, examining the deeper spiritual significance beyond mere abstinence from food. Through careful scriptural analysis, it reveals how Christ's fasting fulfilled the Law, established true worship, and brought believers into complete rest in Him.
Key Points:
- COMPLETE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW OF ATONEMENT: Leviticus 16:1-10, Matthew 3:13-17, Romans 3:20-22. The teaching demonstrates how Jesus' baptism and 40-day fast fulfilled every aspect of the Day of Atonement requirements - serving as priest, sacrifice, and scapegoat simultaneously. "Everything that was required in Levitical 16, Jesus played all the roles. He had to be the priest, He had to be the sacrifice, He had to be the scapegoat."
- TRUE WORSHIP ESTABLISHED: John 4:24, Revelation 21:3, John 14:6. This explains how Christ's fasting established true worship in Spirit and truth, moving beyond religious observances to intimate relationship. "True worship now involves embracing all that God has done for believers through Christ."
- SUSTENANCE VS FASTING: 1 Kings 19:3-8, Exodus 24:16-18. Reveals how Moses and Elijah were sustained by God's presence rather than fasting, with the bread and water symbolizing Christ and the Holy Spirit. "They were not fasting for 40 days; they were sustained for 40 days. The sustenance of God is the sufficiency of man."
- ENDING THE OLD ORDER: Matthew 17:1-8, Hebrews 1:1. This shows how the Transfiguration demonstrated Christ's supremacy over the law (Moses) and prophets (Elijah). "After the Father finished speaking, nothing else stands but Christ. The law is not standing, the prophets are not standing, all covenant are not standing, only Christ stands alone."
- SONSHIP THROUGH SPIRIT-LED LIFE: Romans 8:14, Galatians 4. This emphasizes that true sonship comes through being led by the Spirit rather than religious observances."For all who are led by the Spirit are sons of God. If you don't allow yourself to be led, then you're not a son."
Declarations:
Christ has fulfilled every requirement of the law, bringing us into righteousness
In Christ, we have entered into God's promises and rest
We worship by embracing the finished work of Christ, established by the Holy Spirit
Jesus is the Lord of Glory, the consuming fire, and the bread of life
The Holy Spirit is our sustaining water and the power that transforms us
We are no longer bound by the law but conformed to Christ
Christ represents the full presence, power, and fullness of God
In Christ, the old order has passed away; all things have become new
We listen to Christ, not the law, and seek Him, not the prophets
Our justification comes through faith in Christ, not by works of the law
We have received the Kingdom and enjoy the testimony of God, the consuming fire
Through Christ, we have entered into true worship in spirit and in truth
