TOPIC: BREAK ONE, BREAK ALL!
Read: Matthew 5:15-19
MEMORISE: Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:19).
EXPOSITION
The Bible confirms that the whole counsel of God for man written in the scriptures, has a unique and wonderful unity. No one injunction of the scripture contradicts another, despite that the Holy Ghost inspired the writers of these scriptures at different dispensations, periods, and generations. The commandments of God to His people centre on one thing – OBEDIENCE (Deut. 28:1ff).
Religious adherents during Jesus’ earthly ministry thought they could outsmart Jesus’ teachings by disguising that they were righteous, whereas they were far from being so (Jn. 8:30-34). A good and regular tither, giver and holiness practitioner but still unforgiving, is guilty of breaking God’s commandment on forgiveness (Matt. 6:14-15). If you are a regular attendee in the Bible study and prayer meetings, and you give bountifully without any record of ill-will against anyone but you are lacking in evangelism, you remain a breaker of the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18ff).
How then on earth is it possible to keep every bit of the law? The answer is that the grace of God is sufficient for us provided there is willingness in us (Isa. 1:19). Only when a man gives his life to Jesus and accepts the indwelling of Holy Spirit does the grace of Jesus, as the end of the Law come upon such, to begin to live uprightly in Christ’s righteousness (Rom. 10:4). It is all by grace, not by power or mere determination (Zech. 4:6; Rom. 9:16).
He who is guilty of one of the laws is guilty of all (Jas. 2:10). May God make us doer of His Word, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Ask for the enabling grace to be a doer of God’s Word.
2. Help us, oh Lord, to control our hearts and mouths, because of Your Word in James 3:2.
3. The spirit that breaks the law of the land with impunity, die in the heart of every citizen of our nation, in Jesus’ name,
