Bible Study 3-28-13

Due to technical difficulties with the video camera, this past week's Bible Study will not be uploaded.
Bummer. It was good, too.
I really liked the way G took the crucifixion verses, then tied them in with the New Covenant scriptures found in Hebrews. We read Matthew 26:

 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.  Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?  But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

Jesus COULD have called  the angels down to wipe us out, but then how would scriptures be fulfilled?
Another verse we read was found in John 19:

This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,“They divided my clothes among them    and cast lots for my garment.”^[a]So this is what the soldiers did.

and also...

Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” ²⁹ A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. ³⁰ When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 

This was an 'aha' moment for me, as I'd never realized even while going through the agony that Jesus did, fulfilling His Father's will was foremost on His mind. When he knew all scripture had been fulfilled, He was able to say, "It is finished". The Old Covenant was finished. The Old Testament was finished. When Jesus died, the New Covenant was ushered in, and that is where we live today.

G somehow tied this into one of the New Covenant scriptures. Cameraman-son remembers it being Romans; but I keep wanting to go back to Hebrews. G isn't here to ask, so soon as we find out the verse he tied it into, we'll post that as well.
Enjoy the New Covenant!
