What does the “law of God” mean to you? An ancient set of standards that once ruled a small nation? The representation of a strict deity who micromanages our lives? What about a story? This is how God understands it. He says to Israel–when your children ask: What does the law of God mean (what’s the point of it)–I want you to tell them a story. Story of who I am and what I’ve done. The law of God tells the story of a relationship with God, our need and his grace. If we miss this story we will miss the entire point of the law.
