Did Jesus Leave a Will?

Most people believe Jesus Christ had nothing of value to leave His heirs when He died. Outward appearances are deceiving. The Truth is, He was in complete possession of a “treasure”—the promise the Prophets concealed in the Hebrew Scriptures—and He made an oral will in which He bequeathed it to anyone who would believe the Truth. This fascinating article examines Matthew’s account of Jesus making His will. It also explains the unique aspects of Roman and Jewish law that made His oral testament valid and how all that pertains to the inheritance of the promise by True Believers.

The Passover Parable

Jesus said Moses, the Prophets, and the Prophets who wrote the Psalms were all talking about Him (Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:46). Yet few scholars today are able to find more than a few brief mentions of Jesus Christ in the Hebrew Scriptures because the Prophets used parables to describe the birth, life, death, and Resurrection of the Messiah. The Passover Parable is the heart of the Prophets’ parabolic message concerning Jesus Christ. The fundamental outlines of the promise can be seen in the carefully orchestrated parabolic pantomime that God directed Corporate Israel, His Firstborn Son (Ex. 4:22), to conduct during the Exodus and wilderness wandering. This article explains how that is a parabolic pantomime of a greater reality fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
