Day 15

Okay, yesterday reading was fun!
I was reading about some of the laws and stuff - i know what you're probably thinking..."skim through it, there's nothing you can really get out of it" or a funny one "that's Old Testament - 'THAT'S LAW, WE'RE IN THE NT, THEREFORE WE HAVE GRACE' " haha. and all this stuff with NT message is love, and OT isn't. that's humerus....kinda.

A few times within Exodus 20-24 GOD says, "Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt." I find that interesting-doesn't the same apply to us today? Think about it.

Another very interesting thing i came across is that GOD tell the Israelite people continuously to show Love...in different ways. Tell me if this sounds like Love... (Exodus 23:4-5) "If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under it's load, do not leave it there; be sure you hep him with it." In this whole OT/NT division crap, the big difference is - JESUS summed up all the laws into 2 laws. Love GOD, Love each other. Yes, there's a lot of stuff into it - and the covenant is a little different, but not too much. The point i'm getting to today is that they were also commanded to Love. And that we are to Love. End of Story.
