There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope\u201d <em>(John 5:45, ESV)<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Moses represents the Old Covenant law received from God on Mt. Sinai. If we set our hope on accomplishing God\u2019s law, it is Moses\u2019s voice that accuses us when we fail. You may think, \u201cWhy would anyone ever put their hope in the Old Covenant?\u201d Well, Christians do it all the time. It happens when we say, \u201cGod has given me a command, and I can do it. I can maintain his holy standard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how we \u201cset our hope on Moses.\u201d That\u2019s also the moment our hearts begin to grow sick. \u201cHope deferred makes the heart sick\u201d <em>(Proverbs 13:12)<\/em>. We have no real hope when we set our sights on accomplishing the law because we do not possess the ability to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Under these terms, we may try to worship Jesus, but something in our hearts doesn\u2019t feel right; it feels earthbound. We sense something is missing, and it is: the grace of God that comes to us in Christ, the living covenant. When the law accuses, \u201cYou\u2019re not holy,\u201d we keep trying; but the result continues to be the same, and we end up in despair.<\/p>\n<p>God does not accuse us, and it is absolutely essential for us to have this as our firm foundation based not on law or accusations or despair, but on the glorious, gracious action of God himself. When he hears accusations against us, he tells Jesus, \u201cCrush it.\u201d In that moment, we hear the voice of the Holy Spirit saying, \u201cDo not listen to that lie. It has been destroyed on the cross.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither does God accuse us. His Son has set us free. We have been given Jesus; and in our times of discouragement, we will hear his voice above all others, \u201cNeither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more\u201d <em>(John 8:11)<\/em>. May God supply you with his grace to build on that foundation and to rejoice!<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-radius:6px;height:200px;margin-bottom:20px;overflow:hidden;width:100%;\" id=\"player\">\n<iframe style=\"height:200px;width:100%;\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"clipboard-write\" seamless src=\"https:\/\/player.captivate.fm\/episode\/45c9a96d-8e19-43bd-b468-04e35876dab2\/\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Believers have been given Jesus;
