Subject: Law and Gospel |
Bible Note: Dear Ed, A friend of mine made a meme of me after in a sermon I said, "The balm of the gospel can only be applied to someone wounded by the Law." Sound bites are always need qualification. The worst thing you can do is call a Jew lawless. The Rabbis teach that the goyim (nations; i.e., the gentiles) are without Law. Hence, calling a Jew lawless is tantamount to calling him the worst kind of Gentile. Of course, our Lord sunk that whole boat on the Sermon on the Mount! Anyway, your post made me mindful how over the years we've had people come to the forum and ask (if not in these words) "What is the least I must do?" When people are saved, they see the majesty of our God, I've always thought they should be, like the women in Luke 7, ought to be asking, "Lord, how much can I do for you?" I have to admit that in my heart, I have sooner asked the former question rather than the latter. Have you ever read the little novel "In His Steps" by Charles M. Sheldon? It is, of course, fictional, but it speaks to what you've mentioned here about Christ-like living. I also found a great deal of value in "The Practice of the Presence" by a monk known as Brother Lawrence. Neither of these authors would be people with whom I would identify theologically. Nonetheless, their simple words on rightly loving our Saviour have touched me deeply. Thank you for your comments, Ed. In Him, Doc |
