OR Upside Down?
Thursday 2 February 2023
Don’t Let ‘Em Snow-job ya!
Let that be the pines load.
Jeremiah 1:12
Then the Lord said to me, ‘You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.’
Matthew 5:17
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. (Jesus)
.
Words of Grace For Today
Jesus did so much that challenged the understanding of the Law and the Prophets, as it applied to daily life.
Yet, Jesus did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but rather to fulfill them, which out to scare the ebiejeebies out of us, unless we have listened well to God’s Word,
and understood that most of the time we humans turn God’s Word upside down to fit into our own plans for our own lives.
And Jesus did not do that, so seemed to ‘upset the apple cart’, when he actually set it back upright.
And Jesus demonstrated God’s attitude of love, forgiveness, and sacrifice to save us … in such a way that we might know we are saved from all that should scare the ebiejeebies out of us, the work of the devil, which we too often embrace, and which in turn grips us tight in a death spiral …
until God frees us.
So this day we live free, now
what will we do with it?
