Pastor John,
When I read Matthew 5:18, it just stopped me. I don’t even understand why it stopped me. I read it, and read the Blog, “Destroying the Law”, and read Matthew 5:18 again. For a moment, I could not even form clear thoughts. I had never really read what Jesus had said and it did something. I understand that the law was done away with and written on our hearts, so it was really even more confusing why I got so stuck. I understood “Destroying the Law” when I read it, yet something about reading Jesus saying that “until heaven and earth pass, not one jot or tittle, shall in no way pass,” did something to me.
When you answered that question this morning around the fire, it just fixed it. Whatever it was, it’s just settled. I feel like it just shook off. It wasn’t in words that I know of, because I can’t tell you what it was; I can just tell you it’s settled!
That’s pretty amazing!
Jerry asked me afterward more about what my question was, and in trying to explain it, I feel how wonderful it is that you and Jesus knew the question even more than I did, because what you said answered my question, whatever it really was, and brought relief.
Thankful for you.
Beth D.
