Day 30 - It's Jesus
Greg Olson, Take My Hand |
Prayer Suggestion |
We must know how to say, “Thank you”. Our
days are filled with the gifts the Eternal One
showers on us. If we were in the habit of taking
stock of them, at night we should be like a “queen
for a day,” dazzled and happy with so many blessings.
We should then be grateful to God, secure
because God gives us everything, joyful because
we know that every day God will renew God’s gifts.

Edwards has asked us to pause and read
the Letter to the Galatians.
I am using NOAB5, Galatians, text and
notes as the source of this background for you.
Chapter 3
Paul appeals to people that Jesus is the way
and for them not to follow the foolishness
now of the Law.
Vs. 2 - … Did you received the Spirit by doing
the works of the Law or by believing what
you heard? (About Jesus Christ)
Abraham is the model of trusting obedience.
Paul insists that Christ is the singular heir of
Abraham’s promises and that these promises
have priority over the law. The law is only
temporary until Christ came.
Through baptism, the Christ-elect come to
participate “in Christ” and made into the
offspring of Abraham, thus fulfilling the promises.
Paul calls for inclusivity…
Vs 28 - There is no longer Jew or Greek,
Slave or free, male or female,
for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
We are heirs to all promises of God through Jesus.
(all above from NOAB5 notes)
