Deuteronomy 5

May 2, 2022

We were born into conflict with God. Just like the children of Israel needed a mediator, so do we today. They knew their sin kept them at odds with God, and they begged for a mediator. In Deuteronomy 5, Dr. McGee encourages us to meet our Mediator, Jesus. Because of Jesus, you can stand before—or, even better, run to—God unafraid, knowing you are nothing but loved!

Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight.

God’s motive toward us is always love. He never leaves us or forsakes us, even when we wander from Him. In Deuteronomy 4, we’ll learn about God’s unconditional love for His people, even when their spirit of disobedience caused them to wander away from Him. Find hope and promise in God’s holy love today.

What do you want of God? The children of Israel wanted God’s deliverance but didn’t want to have to put in the work to walk with Him. Today we are reminded to be not only hearers of God’s word, but doers (James 1:23). Discover the divine direction God gave the children of Israel on their journey, the importance of a daily walk with God, and the vast difference between faith and presumption.

One of the most beautiful chapters in the Bible takes us to the resurrected Jesus as He welcomes the fellowship of His disciples on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. Sit by the breakfast fire, eat the fish Jesus prepared, and walk with Him as He gives His disciples a vision for the rest of their lives.

Every time the supernatural touches the natural, the message is always “peace” or “fear not.” When the resurrected Jesus showed up in the closed room where the disciples were hiding, His first word to them was, “Peace.” What would be their reaction? What did Jesus want them to do?

“The resurrection of Jesus Christ is more important to our faith than even His death,” says Dr. J. Vernon McGee. If you want to truly understand what happened on the cross, you must begin with the historical facts of the Gospel. Believe them and you will be saved.

“One of the most dastardly deeds in history, Jesus’ death, is our redemption,” says Dr. J. Vernon McGee. “A place of judgment became our place of mercy. For Jesus, it was a sacrifice and an act of obedience. For us, it was a substitution. For Satan, it was a triumph ending in defeat. For the world, it is only a brutal, unjust murder.”

Jesus’ trials before Annas and Pilate were illegal. Everyone knew it, but no one had the courage to stop them. Come be a witness to how Jesus stood before His enemies with dignity and grace in these steps leading up to the Cross.

On the most difficult night of Jesus’ earthly life, the night He spent in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus laid Himself wide open to His enemies—but with awesome dignity. The soldiers may have thought they took Jesus, but Jesus remained in control of every event.

Everyone’s invited. Jesus Christ invites everyone to come to Him for salvation out of their own free will—even though He has the power to make everyone bow to Him. And did you know that today Jesus is talking to the Father about you?

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
