Bible Question: How does Paul say that being under the law prepared us for sonship? To what ancient practice is he referring when he implies that the law functioned as a guardian or manager? Gal 4:1-2 |
Bible Answer: In ancient times, a son, before he came of age, was placed under the authority of a tutor who taught him and discilined him until he was ready to take a place of authority in the family. This is reflected somewhat I think in statements about Jesus in Luke 2:51-52 and Hebrews 5:11. He learned obedience by the things He suffered. Even in the military you are first taught to obey before you are ever given authority to command obedience. Emmaus |
