How does Joseph Prince describe the difference between law and grace?

What example does Joseph Prince use to illustrate the concept of grace in his sermon?
-Joseph Prince uses the example of Jesus healing a leper. Under the Old Testament law, touching a leper would make someone unclean, but Jesus touches the leper and instead of becoming unclean, the leper is cleansed. This illustrates the concept of grace, where Jesus' purity heals and cleanses instead of being defiled.
What does Joseph Prince say about hypocrisy, and why does he believe Jesus was so strongly against it?
-Joseph Prince explains that hypocrisy, or pretending to be something one is not, is strongly condemned by Jesus because it prevents people from experiencing His love fully. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their hypocrisy because He wanted them to realize that they were loved despite their flaws, not for a false self-righteousness.
Why does Joseph Prince mention the 'New Creation Church' in his message?

What is the 'Divine Paradox' that Joseph Prince mentions in his message?
-The 'Divine Paradox' refers to the idea that, under grace, the opposite of what is expected happens: instead of being defiled by touching the unclean, Jesus cleanses it. This paradox highlights the transformative power of grace as opposed to the strict, condemnatory nature of the law.
Why does Joseph Prince emphasize the importance of understanding Jesus' response to hypocrisy?
-Joseph Prince emphasizes the importance of understanding Jesus' response to hypocrisy to show that Jesus' strong rebuke was rooted in love.

you say no the church is full of
hypocrites
all right let me just tell you this one
more will make a difference come come
come come praise God okay actually
actually the the whole world is full of
Hypocrites okay and and and I want to
touch on that as well today because I
think that that uh there's something
about this uh hypocrisy that that evokes
the greatest response from Jesus of all
the sins that Jesus publicly
rebukes and
exposes in the gospel
it is not you know he he never he never
you can never find you can never read
anywhere he rebuked the tax collectors
the social outc carees the prostitutes
of his day you cannot find anywhere in
the gospels that he rebuked them but he
rebuked the Pharisees the self-righteous
ones because hypocrisy all right brings
out that uh anger in him and we're about
to see why that does so in our Lord and
when you find it you will see how lovely
he is it's because he loved them okay
and uh before that I just want to share
that uh during this trip I had the
privilege of showing for the very first
time a video that I've been preparing
for the longest time to show all of you
because it's based on the Revelation
that God gave me many years ago in
Israel and it's about Jesus at the Mount
of Beatitudes and right after the Mount
of Beatitudes he's preaching of the suon
mount he cleanse the leper and for the
first time we showed it there because it
was only ready when I was there in
Israel that's how that's how close it
was and I received it like two days
before we we screen it so for the first
time I'm going to show it to you but
before that I just want to share the the
the background of this video I feel like
this video portrays to a certain extent
the loveliness of our Lord Jesus Christ
you know um everywhere we go in Israel I
always encourage people look for Jesus
the guides can tell you the facts and
the details of that place
and give you the historical background
he can even be very knowledgeable about
the historical Jesus right but many of
them are not saved but it's your part to
look at all those places and see Jesus
amen see his Beauty his glories his
excellencies amen so um one of the uh my
favorite places is the amount of
Beatitudes you can see a picture of the
amount of Beatitudes here and um this is
the place where this is confirm uh the
exact location okay and that there are
studies uh along these lines and all
that and not only that uh it is almost
acoustically perfect in other words we
have done it before our pastors when we
are there and all that you see where the
banana plantation is that banana
plantation down there that is where the
people would have been the multitudes
you see where where these rocks are
that's where Jesus would have seated now
he he might have sat on one of these
rocks they're not many rocks there in
this location but he might have sat one
of the Bible says he went up a mountain
and he sat down and then he preached to
the people blessed are the poor in
spirit for thus is the Kingdom of Heaven
blessed are the peacemakers right up
there on on that mount this is the place
and it's it's acoustically almost
perfect because there was a study done
by a university in America they studied
this whole topography and this place and
they found that it's acoustically
acoustically almost perfect and we tried
it out we had pastors go down beyond the
banana plantation way back there all
right there's a path there so we stood
down there in fact I stood down there uh
once or twice and one Pastor will run up
here sat on one of these rocks and would
cry out just in a in a in a raised voice
not yelling just saying blessed are the
pure in heart for they shall see God and
His Voice be carried across the
valley you can hear his voice so Jesus
did not need to have a microphone his
father has prepared the place for him is
it amazing amen so this is the location
of the Mount of Beatitudes I know many
of you have been there but so what
happened was that a number of years ago
I was up there with the pastors uh in
one of our many visits there and uh I
took some time to go this way so let's
say I'm facing the the banana plantation
where the people would have been when
Jesus preached so I left the pastors
talking down here and I went this way
and it's very interesting that when
Jesus cleansed the L the Bible tells us
that we all know that leprosy a type of
sin right leprosy is something that when
you contracted you are you are supposed
to be out of the camp you have to leave
in a in a a place far away those of you
watch the movie B her you saw that you
know they are they by themselves and
they cannot mix with the
multitudes so the Bible says that after
Jesus preached he cleansed the leper
obviously the leper is not among the the
multitude right he cannot be among the
multitude he'll be stoned to
death because under the law you touch a
leper the leper is considered unclean a
type of sin and we touch the leper you
become
unclean
so right after Jesus preached to the
people the the like let's say I'm facing
the Mount of Beatitudes right I'm facing
the people on the Mount of Beatitudes I
moved this way and that's what I did for
the first time not not think of anything
right just just uh uh going this way and
I realized that this path goes all the
way to capernum now the next Miracle
after he cleanse the leper the Bible
says Jesus entered capernum so it's
exactly this way facing the people he
would have gone this way he didn't go
down to the people for the longest time
I thought he went down to the multitude
and yet the chapter 8 after he finishes
The Sermon on the Mount chapter 8 opens
by saying when Jesus finished the sermon
when Jesus came down the mountain the
multitudes followed him I always thought
he came down this way where the people
were but if he came down that way then
that phrase the multitudes followed him
doesn't make sense because he's going
towards them right if I go towards you
you cannot follow me right but if I go
another way that's when you follow me so
he must have gone on this way so he went
on this way and I was walking this way
and all a sudden the Lord arrested me I
saw a huge Rock on the side all right a
pile of rocks on the side and there was
other slaps of stone across the area
stwn across the area and the Lord began
to give me an inner vision and a
beautiful story of the leper and I began
to see the leper could have hidden under
one of these rocks so I look at the Rock
here and I look at where Jesus would
have stood up here and I began to
realize that he would have seen Jesus
without the multitude seeing him he
could have hurt Jesus without the
multitudes you know detecting him so I
wondered what did he hear during that
time which part of the sermon on Mount
do you reckon he heard maybe he heard
Jesus say look at the birds of the air
for they s not neither do they reap yet
your heavenly father takes care of them
are you not of more value than the birds
and I could see a bird come right to
where his Rock was where he was hiding
and chirping almost like telling him why
are you so worried you are of more value
than I am
and yet God feeds me he will take care
of you right so just imagine a Lepard
not being touched for the longest time
we don't know how long he probably has
loved once a baby that has grown a few
years or whatever but you know he has
never touched them and he's never been
touched I think I leave the story to the
video and uh also when we did this
video I was uh one thing it to really
present the beauty of my Lord the way I
saw him the way he revealed it to me the
Holy Spirit showed me about Jesus in
that story and it confirm everything
topography topography must be accurate
in other words Jesus facing the people
and going this way the multitudes will
follow him he healed the leper before
the multitudes came in other words the
multitudes did not see a leper they saw
a cleans man there's no need to Stone
him right and not only that this
location goes straight to keram and the
next miracle was a centurion servant
being healed in keram so everything is
in line okay and then U uh two encounter
night services ago you all remember I
sang a spontaneous song in the spirit
and that music Came From Heaven came
from God all right I I is not something
that that uh you know uh we have written
a song about or whatever but it came
spontaneously to me for the encounter
night and I sang it out on the encounter
night in the spirit and we use that
music for this
video right so sit back dim the lights
[Music]
enjoy blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven blessed
are those who mourn for they shall be
comforted blessed are the meek for they
shall inherit the
earth blessed are those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness for they shall
be
filled blessed are the merciful for they
shall obtain
Mercy blessed are the pure in heart for
they shall see God blessed are the
peacemakers for they shall be called
sons of
God no one can serve two
masters for either he will hate the one
and love the other or else he will be
loyal to the one and despise the other
you cannot serve God and
Mammon therefore I say to you do not
worry about your life what you will eat
or what you will
drink nor about your body what you will
put
on it's not life more than food and the
body more than
clothing look at the birds of the air
for they neither seow nor reap nor
gather into barns yet your heavenly
father feeds
them are you not of more value than they
which of You by worrying can add one
cubit to his stature so why do you worry
about clothing consider the lies of the
field how they
grow they neither toil nor Spin and yet
I say to you that even Solomon in all
his glory was not a rain like one of
these now if God clothes the grass of
the field today is and tomorrow isown
into the
oven much more clothe you oh you of
little
[Laughter]
faith and the rain descended the floods
came and the winds blew and beat on that
house and it did not fall for it was
founded on the rock
[Music]
Lord if you are
willing you can make me clean
I am willing be cleansed
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you like the last SP the
hardship I thought of putting that down
because it's like a Heavenly wingk amen
from God you know the Bible says in
Psalms 147 he heals the
Brokenhearted and binds up their wounds
he counts the number of the Stars he
calls them all by
name Kepler the astronomer many years
ago mentioned that there this number of
stars I forgot what the number this
number of stars which was not many at a
time he thought he knew all the stars
there was but today science will tell
you that there are millions and millions
of stars yet
not discovered but there are millions of
them out
there no one can count the number of the
stars and none can fathom the depth of
human sorrow in a human heart but God
not
only can count the number of the Stars
he can call them all by
names again science only call a certain
number of stars by names they can't tell
the
rest they are not yet discovered but
they know they're out there God can call
them all by names and yet this same God
heals the broken
heart one of the things he says the
spirit of the Lord is upon me Jesus said
is to preach the gospel to the poor and
to heal the broken heart and the world
is full of broken
hearts but even when you see them
laughing you know and they have their
game shows and their talk shows and all
that there a lot of laughter going on
but it's like what Solomon in his wisdom
said in the Book of Proverbs even in
laughter the heart is
heavy the world is full of broken hearts
and Jesus has come and anointed to heal
the broken heart amen do you love him do
you enjoy the video praise God I just
want to tell you that when Jesus
cleansed the
leper there is something that happened
here we need to understand and that's my
message here today that the church is in
a Divine Enigma a Divine Paradox I want
to talk about this Paradox today and I
think this is what is causing some
confusion in the book Body of Christ
when Jesus touched the
leper under the Old
Testament a person touching a leper
would contract
defilement but Jesus did not contract
defilement he banished
it under the
law the unclean touching the
clean will make the clean unclean but
under grace Jesus the clean touched the
unclean and the unclean became clean so
that's
Grace
law is different completely different
from Grace law demands Grace
supplies the law says take off your
shoes the place you're standing is Holy
Ground L you
die under
grace The Prodigal father says put shoes
on my son's feet he has a right to stand
in my
presence
amen and the law
God gave the Ten Commandments on Mount
Si on the first Feast of Pentecost
Israel ever celebrated 3,000 people died
under grace God gave the spirit and
3,000 people were Sav at Mount Zion they
that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount
Zion the challenge we have today like
what I said earlier is that we don't
understand
why
hypocrisy is such a a sin that Jesus
angry with I asked the Lord one time I
said Lord why do you hate hypocrisy so
much of all the sins like I said just
now he didn't even rebuke or condemn the
prostitutes the tax collectors the
social
outcasts but he was very strong against
hypocrisy the the religious leaders of
his day the Pharisees had this
self-righteous attitude and Jesus was
angry with that so he's the same
yesterday today and forever right so I
asked the lot one time I said
why why are you so strong against
hypocrisy a number of years ago and you
know why he said to me because I love
them I love the people because he loved
the Pharisees and yet I I couldn't fully
understand he says that you'll never
know that you are loved until you know
that I I know all about you and I still
love
you because when when you are
playing the part of a hypocrite all
right now I I look up the dictionary
definition of hypocrisy I know what it
means but just to see what the
dictionary says it says play
acting pretending to be what you are
not okay play acting you are not that
character but you you are play acting
that character you are in other words
you pretending to be what you are
not are you listening do you remember
the story of the the woman at the
well Jesus gently exposed her
in her
sins
why well because he wanted her to feel
loved what a word we've received today
