John 7:48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?
The Pharisees were concerned about one thing and that was the sanctity of the law they had built up in their ranks. All they could focus on was the law…
Well, knowing the law is not everything! Yes it is a great help to know the law but without the love of Christ the law is as good as a dry river bed!
If you want to be able to irrigate the crops and fields then you need a river which is flowing full of living water. You can then spread that water round and give life to so much more.
But if all you focus on is getting rid of the weeds and making sure your seeds are pure – nothing will grow, not matter how pure it is!
