ILLUSTRATION:
I’m a little like the duck hunter who was hunting with his friend in a wide-open barren of land in southeastern Georgia.
Far away on the horizon he noticed a cloud of smoke.
Soon, he could hear the sound of crackling.
A wind came up and he realized the terrible truth: a brush-fire was advancing his way.
It was moving so fast that he and his friend could not outrun it.
The hunter began to rifle through his pockets.
Then he emptied all the contents of his knapsack.
He soon found what he was looking for-a book of matches.
To his friend’s amazement, he pulled out a match and struck it.
He lit a small fire around the two of them.
Soon they were standing in a circle of blackened earth, waiting for the brush fire to come.
They did not have to wait long.
They covered their mouths with their handkerchiefs and braced themselves.
The fire came near-and swept over them.
But they were completely unhurt.
They weren’t even touched.
Fire would not burn the place where fire had already burned.
The law is like the brush-fire.
I cannot escape it.
But if I stand in the burned-over place, where law has already burned its way through, then I will not get hurt.
Not a hair of my head will be singed.
The death of Christ is the burned-over place.
There I huddle, hardly believing yet relieved.
Christ’s death has disarmed the law.
“Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
