Rules were NOT made to be broken, they were made to be kept, yet rules were NOT made to be a burden they were made to establish liberty!!!
This is the same with the law. Some people want to use the law to be burdensome, and place again the yoke of the law on people and weigh them down with it. And neglecting the grace and freedom of the law in Christ, they bring in again the old chains of bondage.
I JUST WANT FREEDOM!! Now this freedom is NOT liberty to break the law, but freedom to establish the law in Love. Jesus Christ was free to establish the Law in love, while the Pharisees and Sadducees were eager to keep the law in bondage. There is a difference. I will try to explain, so that you can see the freedom in Jesus Christ. I hope you do.
At my job we are scored on our service. If our service goes down our bosses get strict. I don't know yet why our scores have been going down so much, and so drastically (I am starting to think it is one person doing this), but ever since we have been restricted in what we can do. Now, these restrictions are NOT for the better. Because, before we were not restricted to go ABOVE AND BEYOND to help a single person, but now we are restricted from even this. The intention of the restriction is to keep us in the area so that we can help the people in that area, but if we are restricted to ONLY that area we cannot go above and beyond to assist, as if we do we are breaking the rule of restriction. So if someone just outside the area needed help, am I not to help them? Do I say, ''oh sorry, I can't talk to you because you are not in my area.'' Or, ''oh sorry, I cannot help you because you are not in my area.'' I think if the boss of the boss came in and saw this he would be angry and so would I. And then I think the judgement would be on me, not even on my boss who made this rule, as some pastors force this rule of restriction on others, themselves neglecting the rule of love for the sake of image.
The rule of service we will call it, especially the rule of service to God is a rule of Love, that goes above and beyond to meet the needs of the person, though that may go AGAINST the established rules of restrictions that most religions have. This is why Jesus was killed. Because he went outside the rules of the orthodox (which were not orthodox) beliefs of the established clergymen to fulfill the rule of Love. And if we should die for love, what is it to us, but to live in the kingdom of our Father forever?
May Jesus bless you.
