The Fulfillment of the Law ~
Jesus offers salvation - He saves us from our sins, but that doesn't mean we no longer have the Law. It is still there & we are stilled judged by it. Jesus tells us that not one dot will be changed.
Sounds daunting doesn't it? Well, Jesus will spend the next 14 days showing us the Law. If the Pharisees thought their strict adherence was tough, well, they are about to find out that their motivation behind following the Law counts too. We don't follow the Law simply with our actions, we follow it with our hearts.
So take a deep breathe & prepare to dive in as we spend the next 14 days learning from the Master. I'm excited because I have come to understand that the Law was put in place to keep me safe, to help me get to know God better, and to help me in my relationships with people. These laws aren't here to make my life harder, they are here to make my life easier. Now, wouldn't you like your life to be easier? I know I do. I'll see you tomorrow.
