The royal law [ Galations 5 v14 ]

Our Saviour lived in a society that was ruled by religious people,in some Islamic groups they have the beard police,in the society that Jesus lived they had those who watched what you did,especially in relation to the Sabbath. But the problem was ,what they considered keeping the Sabbath,and what Jesus considered keeping the Sabbath was worlds apart. The religious groups had devised so many rules and regulations, life became very oppressive, and fear driven, this is what happens when you try to please God by rules and regulations.The result of all this was a cold hard indifference when it came to others,and when Jesus cut across all that they hated Him , in Luke 6 v11, we read that they were filled with madness. What had He done?,well He had healed someone,rules and regulations have their place ,but when they get in the way of love, we are duty bound to break them, even if people become mad at us.[ Dear God help us to keep Your law, the law of love, in Jesus name Amen ]
