In
our study Saturday night, we discussed the liberty we find in Christ and how to
become free from legalistic rules and traditions of men. As mentioned in the
commentary, " Old Testament rituals and regulations regarding food,
feasts, and holy days were merely means of pointing to the coming of Christ.
Since Christ had come and fulfilled His mission on the cross, any demand to
keep such regulations was not only legalistic, but also contradictory to
Christ’s work on the cross. The problem was not in voluntarily maintaining
these rituals, for example, as a means of remembering one’s heritage, but in
keeping them under obligation or as a sign of exceptional spiritual maturity.”
My challenge to you
this week
is to watch the 1998 version of Les Miserable with Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush,
and Uma Thurman. It is PG 13.
Be
intentional and enjoy your week. Lead with hope.
