Beaver Parable

Matthew 13-14

God with us, Christ, often lived easily outside the laws that enslave us to our world.  Case in point, He could walk on water, 14:25.  The miracle is that He invites us to live outside the laws ourselves, to exist as Son’s of The Most High God.  Case in point, Peter walked on water as well, 14:29

He invites us all to live outside the laws that bind us, case in point, “love your enemies.”  5:44

Walking with Jesus will often require us to live outside the safety net of the laws that seemingly keep us safe.  As a wise beaver once said, “Who said anything about safe?  Course He He isn’t safe.  But He’s good!”
