Devotion:
I can remember times in my life when I learned something new and it was like a shock to the system because I had always believed in the old ways I was used to.
Far too often we get stuck in the ways we do things and we do not ask why, we simply do without asking. Jesus wants you to ask all the time, to check you are doing things right, to question why you do things the way you do.
He does not do this to make you a rebellious person, but to make sure you are not just doing things because someone said so!
Jesus came to upset the apple cart, to stop people from blindly following tradition and rules made by mankind. He wants us to do things because we want to do them for God, not because the rules say we must!
Points to ponder:
Do you follow the rules without question?
Will you trust Christ instead of regulations!
