TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 27TH OCTOBER 2024
The law makes demands on you which it cannot supply to you, but grace supplies to man what he does not deserve. The law will say you should do this and do that, and you will find out that you can’t do them. The more you try, the more you fail. That is what religion is all about. But grace supplies to you what you are not able to have. It supplies to you what you do not earn, merit, or deserve. Whenever you see grace, it is constantly supplying. Grace is always giving, and it will always say to you, step aside and let me do it for you. Grace removes obstacles and will say: ‘Stop fighting! Just sit down and let me fight your battles. Let me give it to you. Let me meet you at the point of your need’. All you need to do is to believe and receive.
In the book of Mark chapter 5, Jairus, a religious ruler, came to Jesus. Despite his religious observation and efforts, death visited him. Jairus had to be sincere and honest with himself. He said this thing is not working. Despite all I have done, my daughter is at the point of death. He dropped his religion and came to grace. He came to the end of himself, which is what the law is meant to do. The law brings you to the end of yourself so you can come to grace. The laws given were to make you see your inability to keep them so that you will know that you need a Saviour.
So, the law makes you come to the end of yourself. It shows you all you are supposed to do, which you can’t do to be qualified before God. Law shows you what you are supposed to do, which you can’t do, so you can know that someone has to help you. That is why Jesus came.
