LAWS OF SHADOW & REAL
HEBREWS 8:10

THEY [LAWS] WERE GIVEN—NOW

THEY ARE WRITTEN

THEY [LAWS] WERE INSCRIBED IN

STONE—NOW THEY ARE INSCRIBED
IN THE HEART
IF JESUS IS NOT OUR MEDIATOR—
NO THRU TRAFFIC
WE CAN HAVE A CROSS ON OUR CHEST—
AND NOT HAVE CHRIST IN OUR HEART.
 WE CAN SING AMAZING GRACE—AND NOT
LIVE BY HIS GRACE.

 WE CAN TALK ABOUT LOVE—AND HAVE

EVERYTHING BUT LOVE.
 WE CAN GO UNDER THE WATER—BUT NOT
BE UNDER THE BLOOD.

 WE CAN SING OUR WAY TO HELL—WITH A

BIBLE IN THE RIGHT HAND—AND A
HYMNAL IN THE LEFT HAND.
 BUT IF JESUS IS NOT OUR
MEDIATOR…THERE’S NO THRU
TRAFFIC!
 WHY?

 BECAUSEWE HAVE CONFUSED

PRAISE FOR PROPITIATION, AND
MOTION FOR PROGRESS.

 CASE IN POINT: TREADMILL

AFTER DEATH—JUDGMENT

N:B: IF YOU DON’T HAVE JESUS AS

MEDIATOR, YOU’RE ON AN EXPRESS WAY
DRIVING TOWARD A CUL-DE-SAC ROAD.
 CONSIDER THIS POEM

AT BIRTH, CHILDREN ARE CLIMBING A

STEEP HILL. IN THEIR TEENS, THEY’RE
GROWING CAREFREE, AND SOON THEY’RE
PAYING BILLS. WHEN THEY WORK AND
OVERWORK, EVIDENTLY, THEY’LL BECOME
ILL. SOON HOWEVER, IF THEIR RECOVERY
IS DETERMINATE, THEIR NEXT STEP IS TO
WRITE THEIR WILL. BUT WHAT IF NONE OF
THE ABOVE HAPPENS AND BY ACCIDENT
THEY GET KILLED?
AND THERE’S NO ONE TO MEDIATE WHILE
THE THRU TRAFFIC IS STILL? HAVE YOU
WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF JESUS
WOULD SHOW UP ON THE SCENE? AND
POINT YOU TO HIS MEDIATION WHICH HE
HAS PERFORMED ON CALVARY’S HILL?
BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, YOU
JUST WANT YOUR LOVE ONES HEALED!
FOR ONLY WHEN YOU’VE CHOSEN JESUS
AS YOUR MEDIATOR, YOU’LL BE SURE
HE’LL INTERVENE.
 1 TIMOTHY 2:5
For [there is] one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus;

HEBREWS 9:12
Neither by the blood of goats and calves,
but by his own blood he entered in once
into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption [for us].
