Ten Commandments
|
Today I was reading Galatians 3. I've been spending my quiet time studying the Word about the law. I have been finding some good stuff especially in Galatians 3. Galatians 3:24 (Amplified Bible) 24So that the Law served [a][to us Jews] as our trainer [our guardian, our guide to Christ, to lead us] until Christ [came], that we might be justified (declared righteous, put in right standing with God) by and through faith.
Then I read a neat little note on the word tutor: (Gk. paidagogos) (3:24,25;1 Cor. 4:15) Strong's #3807: The Greek term means "custodian" or a person who attends a child. In Greek households a faithful servant was given the responsibility of taking care of a boy from childhood to puberty. The servant kept him from both physical and moral evil, and went with him to his amusements and to his school. Paul used the word to say that the law functioned as a child-custodian. The law acted as an outward check on desires, thus making the consciousness of sin more acute. And since none of us is able to deal with sins by ourselves, the law guides us to Christ, our own Rescuer and Savior. So on that note it made me think ahh that is why having the Ten Commandments in the schools and what not is important because the law convicts one of sin and that conviction leads them to Christ the remedy for sin. The Ten Commandments in the school may be the only Biblical law some kids will ever see. |
