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
