Grasshoppers, foreskins and scabs


Leviticus 10-13
Laws and rules, rules and laws.  Have you ever noticed how religion and laws don’t mix?  They make for a cold faith of legalism.  There are enough laws in today’s reading to make you dizzy.  There’s only one mix worse than religion and laws and that’s religion, laws and humans.  I’ve had a long and bad history with these three.  There’s got to be a way these can coexist in a wholesome partnership and there’s only one way! 

“Do not think that I (Jesus) came to abolish the law or the prophets.  I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”
Matthew 5:17

We are now free from all laws except one,

“For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:15

Sarah, the law of loving is a lot easier than the law of looking for a white hair in a red scab!!!  Love dad.
