For generations Christians have believed that Jesus perfectly kept the Law of Moses. He then died so we don't have to keep the Law, they say. Yet most Christians would agree that Jesus preached the new covenant. If that is the case then did Jesus really practice what he preached?

This book sets out to explore long-held beliefs with a closer look at the Gospels, the only firsthand witness to the ministry of Jesus. The author urges you to reconsider the spirit-filled words and actions of Jesus. He both taught and lived his own New Covenant Law, which stands in sharp contrast to the Old Covenant Law of Moses.

Early reviews

"Do what I say, but don't do what I do" turns people off big time. Hypocrites are on the nose! Nobody respects someone who says one thing, but who does the opposite. In Jesus Practiced What He Preached: The New Covenant Law of Messiah, Carlos Xavier proposes that the power of Jesus' life has been divorced from his radical new covenant teaching. The result has been a Christianity which has created a Jesus who was chained to Moses, subservient to an outdated system, diminishing the revolutionary impact of the Jesus of the New Testament who actually practiced what he preached!

The tragic fruit of such a divorce has been a church and a people who are still living under the old letter of the law and not in the dynamic spirit of Christ Jesus. So, is there something missing in your Christian experience? Then get this book! In this short read, you will find refreshing Bible exegesis, supported by accredited scholarship, helping you to follow Jesus' own example --- where belief and life harmonise. Our world and the Kingdom of God demand nothing less!"

Greg Deuble, pastor and author.

"In this book Carlos shines a much-needed light on this irrational but popularly accepted position that Jesus taught one thing while following/living another.

Please be challenged by the insight that Jesus preaching and practice were most definitely in sync. The actual facts are that Jesus was deliberately and consciously a minister and exponent of the new covenant, thus providing a perfect model - in words and deeds- for all those claiming to follow him."

Sir Anthony F. Buzzard, Bt., MA (Oxon.) MA Th.

"This is a refreshing and insightful read that brings clarity to the Messiah’s teachings. Its concise, easy-to-read style makes an often misunderstood biblical concept understandable.

This book powerfully illustrates how Jesus lived out His teachings, practicing what he preached, and offers readers a compelling guide to understanding and applying the New Covenant Law of Messiah to their lives. I highly recommend it for those seeking a deeper, faith-filled perspective on this topic!"
