MEMO: Who is Jesus? Law-breaking vs. Law-keeping.
Ministry Epistle on Muslim Outreach: MEMO (Written by an elder brother in the ministry. Available for all who wish to be trained & learn by them.)
I suppose in talking about Jesus to anyone, we have to find where Jesus would make a difference in their life.
To a self-rightous person or someone who feels he can be righteous, or someone like a Muslim who feels that God continues to be gracious no matter what except that you have no other God than Allah, we may have to use law to show him that NOT everything that happens is God's will, and that his desires (coveting) represents another God.
That is why I mentioned Surah 9:111 (saved by killing) and 9:5 (do all manner of war to force prayers), & 8:39 (until all the world gives in to Islam). This indeed embaresses them. I am presently working this on 2 lay Muslims and one Imam. They want to run away, but eventually they will have to look at it. We are sinners, & lawless.
A former missionary said Dr. Miller said:
They apparently think that if they get rid of all unbelievers then they will have a perfect society. This former missionary indicated that we point out to them, it has never worked. We have only one hope - Jesus Christ. To describe Jesus more in terms of Luke 24:44-48 is wiser than to start by saying HE is God or Son of God. This directs us away from the real problem (sin) and the solution (Christ & how HE fullfilled the law & the Prophets) as witnessed. A Muslim will right away object and argue if we start saying Jesus God or Son of God. Law had to be done & sin paid for. (Romans 3:19-23, 26-31). Christ was appointed by God to do it for us & so fulfill the prophetic & legal witness. This is no mere opinion. (Isaiah 41:21-24; Deuteronomy 18:21-22; 19:15; 13:1-3; Jeremiah 28:7-8).
