The Law of Life - Part 4

In this short post, we will consider an analogy to help us understand the truth about God's Law. First, let's restate the simple truth of the matter; Christ is the Law of God. If that seems difficult to understand, that's probably simply because we have been thoroughly indoctrinated to think of the Law in basically one way only. But the understanding of God's Law that is present truth (that His Law is a man), is not as foreign to your mind as you may think. It's just that this truth has been somewhat hidden until know. Consider the following analogy:

The setting is the American West, sometime in the late 1800s, in a small town out on the frontier. Your in the Mercantile and there's a disagreement between two men. They begin to argue, and can be heard from outside the store. I man wearing a silver star on his vest, hears them and steps into the store. He says, "excuse me, what seems to be the matter here?" One of the men turns and angrily says, "Who are you, it's none of your business." The man with the silver star responds, "I'm the law around here, so it is my business." When a sheriff on the American frontier announced that "he is the law," everyone who heard him, and everyone who has heard that statement when watching a Western movie, knows exactly what he means. He means that his wishes, desires, requirements, etc., are what will be followed. In other words, the sheriff determined what the law was. His mind was the source of the law in the area he had jurisdiction over. 

If we can understand that the man described above was himself the law, How much more clear should it be to us that the man, Jesus Christ, is himself the Law?

Here's another analogy: 

Have any of you heard your father or your mother say to you and your siblings, "I am the law in this house," or "My word is the law in this home," or some similar phrase? Was that hard for you to understand? No, not at all! 

Why then should it be hard to understand that the "word" of God is His in this universe?

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14.6
