“I have come not to abolish, but to complete them.”
Matthew 5:17-19
Sometimes, we move away from God and His Law, and become spiritually disconnected.
Close, and we may look like we are plugged in, yet not properly connected.
Imagine we’re like an electrical device. A fan, for example, and it’s not reaching the electrical outlet for proper connection, or maybe it’s dirt and dust that prevents the motor from working. God doesn’t throw us out and abolish us. He pulls us closer to Himself and plugs us in. He cleans us up, oils us with His anointing, and completes us, so that we can operate as we’re originally supposed to.
Being in a disconnected position for too long, may cause the enemy to pounce on us and make us feel incomplete, unworthy and unwanted. I know cause I’ve been there.
If we ever fall victim to lies like these, I pray we remember these few words of Jesus from Matthew’s gospel today. “I have come not to abolish but to complete.”
To complete you(insert your name), to complete the Law and the Prophets.
