Jesus As The New Moses By: John Marano Darell Pusung Danny Gerris Mike Battista Armando Medel

Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5: 1 -12) • Jesus gives people laws so they may receive the kingdom of heaven. • This is similar to Moses receiving the ten commandments on Mount Sinai for the Hebrews.

Treasure in Heaven (Matthew 6: 19 -21) • Jesus does not want people worshipping material possessions • Instead worship God who takes care of them • This relates to Moses when, after descending from Sinai destroys the idol of the golden calf created by the people.

Teaching About Divorce (Matthew 5: 31 -32) • Jesus gives laws to the Pharisees about divorce and why he does not allow it • When Moses was given the 10 commandments two of the laws were about staying faithful to your spouse and always loving them.

Feeding of 4000 (Matthew 15: 32 -39) • Jesus descends from the mount, like Moses descended from Sinai • After feeding the people Jesus quickly leaves so that people would not worship him but worship God • Jesus wants people to focus on worshipping the true God as Moses did, not false idols

Walking on Water (Matthew 14: 22 -33) • Jesus commits a great deed by walking water and Moses splits the water while running away from Pharaoh • Jesus does this to prove a point • Moses does it to save his people

Massacre of Infants (Matthew 2: 16 -18) • Jesus survives an attack on male infants by King Herod that was meant for him • Moses survives a massacre of the first born sent by Pharaoh • Both encounter plots to kill them as children and survives

The Commissioning of the Apostles (Matthew 10: 5 -15) • Jesus has the twelve apostles to help spread the word of God • Moses uses Aaron and Deborah to help further his overall goal of getting to the promised land • Both of them have a team of people to help them further their goals
