Pulled From the Law: Encountering Christ in the Flesh
Nov. 30, 2020 | By Justin Ferrugia TD ‘23+1
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Matt. 19:21)
I want to pose a thought experiment. Suppose you are a devout Jew in the time of Jesus. You faithfully and rigidly adhere to Jewish law. You keep the Sabbath and adhere to the Levitical laws of food, drink, and sacrifice. You are rightly and completely devoted to these laws, just as many of us are devoted to the doctrinal tenets of our faiths.
