A READING FROM Galatians
But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. 27 As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
MESSAGE IN A PARAGRAPH OR TWO
There ae are 613 commandments in the Old Testament. That includes the 10 commandments. Many people today use the Old Testament law to point fingers at for those they have prejudice. And they ignore the laws that convict them. Paul calls the law the Disciplinarian. But the cross of Christ took the burden of the law off of our backs.
With faith in Christ, we have forgiveness. We are free to love God with our heat, mind, and soul. And we are free to love our neighbor as ourselves.
That love breaks down the barriers between humans and makes us one with God. Thank God for the life, sacrifice, and resurrection of our Savior.
