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?

As we consider Paul’s ministry at Corinth we discover that he lived Christ’s Great Commission: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. [Mt.28:19-20] Examine your life. What would you say is your mission? How does your mission glorify God and fulfill His mission?
