did not understand this saying, and it was conceled from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him(Jesus😊1st❤) about this saying."( Luke 9:43b-45 ESV Study Bible) in Christ😊❤.

Luke 9:37-43a( Jesus😊1st❤ heals(😊❤) a boy(😊❤)
with an unclean spirit)

[elanorglf]

A problem that I have with the sermon is that none of those verses mention the eradication of "the shadows of GOOD things to come". Not in any of those verses, I don't understand why the Piper said that. Christ is the fulfillment of the sacrifices but not the eradication of the sacrifices. Read Acts and we would SEE that they still went to the Temple until the destruction of the Temple. So the Early Believers attended the services of the Temple for 40 more years. The sacrifices will return during the 1, 000 year reign of Christ as well.
