1 DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
COLOSSIANS 3:16-17

2 In the name of the Lord It does not mean to use His name Acts 19:11-17
It means by His authority Contrast in Matt. 7:21-23 Lawlessness = without authority The authority of Christ is in the word of Christ Matt. 8:9-10 If not in word of Christ, do not do it

3 In the word of Christ Not in the word = not authorized
No need for specific prohibition Even for something previously authorized Example of Moses Exodus 17:1-7 take the rod, strike the rock The Rock was Christ 1 Corinthians 10:4 Water was the Holy Spirit John 7:37-39 The Rock struck by crucifixion Is. 53:4

4 In the word of God 40 years later Numbers 20:1-13 Take the rod
Gather the people Speak to the rock Moses gathered the people Took the rod X Spoke to the people X Struck the rock

5 In the word of God 40 years later Numbers 20:1-13 Take the rod
Gather the people Speak to the rock Moses gathered the people Took the rod X Spoke to the people X Struck the rock 2 times

6 In the word of God God mercifully gave water anyway v.13
Moses and Aaron sinned v.12 Did not hallow God before the people Hallow = set apart = acknowledge God’s exclusive position As exclusive object of worship As exclusive author of worship Pragmatic says, “It worked anyway.” NOT TRUE! Purpose was to glorify God.

7 God’s picture in the word of God
Strike rock  water comes out Ex 17 Speak rock  water comes out Num. 20 Jesus struck once  Holy Spirit given John 7:37-39 Jesus died once for all Heb. 9:28 Moses destroyed God’s picture by striking rock twice Actions said Christ will die twice God didn’t need to say, “Don’t strike it”

8 God’s picture in the word of God
Music in Worship Use mechanical instruments in the temple 2 Chron. 29:25 Sing with heart in the church (spiritual temple) Ephesians 2:20-22; 5:19 Spiritual nature of the covenant God-made instrument glorifies HIM Eph. 2:10 Words honor Him only with the heart
