We Have A Law

John 19:7 KJV
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

We have a law

They were right that they did have a law. The book of Leviticus 24:16 says, And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.
There was a law

They did not properly understand it. And they did not properly apply it, but they did have a law.

And by that law, Jesus Christ ought to have died. Without it death, there was no way for any man to be saved. With His death and resurrection, there is a way now for all men to be saved.

We have a law too.
The Word of God is pure and sure.

But we do need to study to show ourselves approved unto God.
We ought never use it to get our own way as they did
We ought never use it to hurt another as they did
We ought never abuse it as a tool of personal power as they did


We have a law
God's Word, ought to be obeyed and will accomplish the good God intends for it.
