Fulfilled Then Abolished

Will you?

I love you!

But what will you love?

Laws or Love?

Stephen Pursell, 4/09

I'll leave the laws...

Against which no law can stand

And Love!

But oh, in Christ there is Truth!

Counterfeits of truth

Those empty copies

Those dead facsimilies of righteousness

But only without laws

Only Love

All around you

And finally even without you

And thus, through you

Within you!

Not 'there', not 'here'

Of healing, forgiveness and love

A Kingdom of peace

The one prophesied for millennia

The Kingdom within

It is his promise, you know

Don't you want to live it?

Forever disempowered, hallelujah!

Laws were abolished

In the dying flesh of the Lamb

That on Golgotha

The forgetfulness of the cross!

What freedom!

But oh, the mercy!

That laws empower sin

It is the Word of God

Only grace

No bony finger to wave in accusation

Nothing to do but forgive

No tool to punish with

Nothing to oppress with

Don't you? Do you see it?

I wish there were no laws
