Beloved, You Have an All Access Pass
Rules, laws, shoulds, shouldn’ts... the Bible is full of them. And the church has even added more to that list!
The religious leaders approached Jesus and asked, “Hey Jesus, Uh, lot’s of rules here, lots of laws, what are the ones that are the most important?”
And Jesus deconstructed ALL the law, ALL of those rules, ALL of the rules the church adds to it and answered… “Love. Love God, love others – and those two are really the same thing. EVERYTHING ELSE IS WRAPPED UP IN THAT.”
So, what the heck happened??
Today we talk about our relationship to rules, to the law. And how we have an ALL-ACCESS pass... to life, to love, to freedom.
