    They Could Have Had Jesus

     | 9,790 views

    Was the Mosaic law good or bad? Why did God give it to Israel, and what part did it play for His people?

    OPEN: Why do laws exist? Why do we have them? I thought about that a lot this week…and this was my conclusion: “Laws exist to modify behavior and to help us know what is acceptable and what isn’t.” Now, if that’s true, why were these laws written? In Michigan it is illegal to paint sparrows to ...read more

    Jacob had his Jabbok, Abraham had his Mt. Moriah, Paul had his Damascus road and Peter had his encounter with Jesus on the Sea of Galilee's shores. That's where Peter began a new life living solely for Christ.
