Jesus constantly confronted the religious establishment: healed on the Sabbath to confront the Pharisees and they wanted to kill him, continued to challenge their misunderstanding of Sabbath observance, the role of fasting, and ceremonial washing. Why do you think He did this? The gospel of grace is like a slackline. The Holy Spirit and the Word are to give us balance to keep from falling towards either liberalism or legalism. Each of us has a tendency to fall toward one side. Which side might you lean towards? How can you respectfully protect Christian freedom from liberalism and legalism?
