15 - Moses' Law for Moses' People

Although my chosen title leaves a lot to be desired, I can‟t think of a better. The law in question, while it can be called – indeed, is called in Scripture – „the law of Moses‟ (Luke 2:22; 24:44; John 7:23; Acts 13:39; 15:5; 28:23; 1 Cor. 9:9), strictly speaking was God‟s own law given to Israel at Sinai by God through Moses. And while the people of Israel can be thought of as Moses‟ people, nevertheless, strictly speaking, they were God‟s own old-covenant people. But if I had used the title „God‟s Law for God‟s People‟, a real ambiguity would have immediately arisen – one which would have confused the very point I want to make in this article.
