Bible Note: Dear Mark, Are we not all sinners? I am the greatest, like the apostle Paul, and sin brings death. But to die is gain. (Phill 1:21) In death is the resurrection, indeed we have to be dead to ourselves before we can be resurrested. Jesus came to teach us how to die, death to self. We die daily. The process of God. Yes, 'sin no more', but that 'sin' can be offending the 'least of these. my brothers'. and that 'sin' can be anything that would offend the most delicate of misguided conscience. This enters an area outside of law, we are now talking about their individual 'rights and wrongs'. the concept goes higher. It no longer rests on rules but love and understanding. This is the love of Christ, it goes deeper than orthodox legalism, it is now talking about love. This is empathy. coming to where a person is, like the good samaritan who met the man where he was. Not like the preists who passed by, because they walked in judgment and legalism. it is not that simple, I would love the body of Christ to start searching, raise the questions that the Holy Spirit might bring in us into all truth. Yours and His Paul |
