Jesus - The God Whom Israel Offended

Do You FRUSTRATE GOD? (1 Corinthians 10:5)

Nevertheless, with most of them God was NOT pleased

ou eudokeo (not, satisfied, delighted, satisfied, worthy)

Unbelievers DO NOT ENTER THE PROMISED LAND

Numbers 14:29 ESV

29 your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and of all your number, listed in the census from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me,

Psalm 106:24–27 ESV

24 Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise. 25 They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord. 26 Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness, 27 and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands.

Hebrews 3:17 ESV

17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

Jude 2–5 ESV

2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

Do you FANCY EVIL? (1 Corinthians 10:6-10)

Idolatry which led to “amusement” (v. 7)

Lust (v. 8)

Testing CHRIST (v. 9) (see Luke 10:25 - a lawyer who stood up to test him, said, “teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life...”)

Grumbling (v. 10)

Do you KNOW HOW TO ESCAPE? (1 Corinthians 10:11-13)

#1 - Do not Trust Your Own Thinking

#2 - All Temptation is “common” to sinful mankind

#3 - God IS Faithful - He knows your limits

#4 - God Provides the Escape
