the Law.

Can I just say I'm so glad Jesus came?  My journey through the Bible in 90 days is going well so far, I've only missed one day out of ten.  Let me tell you, it has been a struggle.  My head gets heavy as I read the lists of "and this is how you should make it", and "this is what you shall do", and "if a man sins, let him bring an offering of..."  But I try and pay attention, because this is important.  There is a reason why God repeats Himself time and time again.  He is a Perfect, Holy, and Just God, He has a right to have things done His way.  As I read through Exodous and Leveticus, and continue to read through the Old Testament, I give thanks for Jesus.  I thank God that He sent His Son so we can be grafted in to the family of God, so we don't have to make sacrifices every time we sin, or do something incorrectly.  We don't have to be unclean anymore.  Jesus is the perfect answer to the Law.  The blood of animals cannot take away sins, but the blood of Jesus can.

  1. Thanks for the thoughts. I've never thought about all those lists and such from that point of view.
