God Becomes Man, Lesson 11: Law a Blessing and a Curse

Series Overview

​On Wednesday nights throughout the next nine months, we will be walking our way through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, learning the story of salvation, especially how everything points to and is fulfilled by Jesus.

Lesson 11: Law a Blessing and a Curse
Lesson Overview

If the center of Israel’s national life is the pursuit of God’s holiness, then the law is the framework within which that pursuit occurs, the scaffolding which supports the enterprise. “Righteousness” is to be distinguished from “holiness” as one’s fidelity to this legal pattern. But this is more than merely “law” as we think of it, but an entire way of life organized around common bonds, authorities, and seasonal patterns, as expressed in the full meaning of the Hebrew word “torah,” as instruction and guidance. In this lesson we will explore how this works, how it relates to contemporary Christian living, and how the blessings and curses of the Law situate it into the story of salvation. 

Key Text: Deuteronomy 4:1-9:12 and Deuteronomy 28 and 30
Office Texts: Psalm 19, Deuteronomy 6, Galatians 3:10-29
