Not the law, but the Love

Mom mentioned there would be a fund raiser for teen programs at her church. She named the man who would be running is and said "It may be a little unorthodox", then laughed. She meant the man so loves Jesus he will do anything he can to bring the children to Him.

I was trying to be funny, too, when I said, "Isn't that Jewish?" Orthodox and Unorthodox usually refers to Jews. I think Jesus was the first unorthodox Jew.

Then I continued the thoughts out loud that came to me. Jesus was unorthodox in his beliefs and methods. He started in the synagogue with the elders but ended up in the fields without them.

Even if the belief he taught had matched theirs he would have ended up in the streets. The building wasn't build that could hold his ministry. When he taught inside the people even came in through the roofs to try to reach him and hear him. He had to be outside the church just to speak to the ones that wanted to hear him.

His belief in the grace of God was not by the law they lived under from Moses. His power to heal was not theirs. They could not deny the evidence of His power but He did not believe as they did.

He went where he was needed and he did what was right by God, not in the words of the law. If what you are doing seems a little unorthodox you maybe following His example.
