Thoughts from the Lectionary for the Fourth Sunday in Lent

From the Epistle Lesson: Galatians 4:21- 31

Vs. 26 "But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all."

The Apostle here describes using allegory how the Old Covenant law has been completed and fulfilled in the finished work of Jesus Christ. He refers to mount Sinai and speaks of those legalists who are under the curse that law pronounces. But we who are in Christ are citizens of the true Jerusalem, saved and sealed by His finished work.

Where the works of the Law bring condemnation and cursing, the finished work of Christ brings salvation and blessing. Let us trust in Him alone.

Blessings,

Fr. Duane+
