Topic: The empty tomb 76
Reading: Matthew 27:57-66, 28:1-15
Scripture: He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee. (Luke 24:6)
Note: More than one operating system (OS) can be installed and run on one computer. The only precondition being that the individual OS must be compatible with the host computer hardware. For two OS on the same computer to run, they must have dual booting.
The old law in the old dispensation had its own OS with its different environment, operating an independent and different protocol from the new law, which is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. The old law just like any other religion being practised worldwide today such as Islam, Buddhism, etc, are task-based and dependent on individual works in order to be justified before God.
Unfortunately, the requirements of the old law only exposed further, man’s helplessness, failures and frustrations before God. Hence, the whole of creation had been groaning for the manifestation of the Son of God, through whose substitutionary death, we have redemption and justification before God.
The attempt by Peter to run two OS at the same time before the believers of Galatia, is a sad reflection of how confused believers of today are trying to run concurrently the tenets of the old law that expired, together with the coming of the new law of Christ. Running two OS concurrently on the same computer is impossible and a violation of commonsense. Galatians 2:18-19, “For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.”
Food for thought: Grace has liberated us from the weaknesses of the old law and justified us before God through the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
Declaration: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (Gal 2:16)
