"You Christians are ridiculous and hypocritical! You use the laws from the Old Testament you want, but dismiss others when it's convenient." This charge is consistently lobbed at Christians, and without a clear response, Christians will be dismissed and ridiculed. But the truth is, if you stop at the OT laws, you've only read the beginning of the story. These laws were always pointing us to something greater, something that could do what these laws could not. How should Christians view these laws? How should we apply them -or- should we apply them at all? The answer, as always, lies in the person and work of Jesus. How did he fulfill and celebrate the law while moving us away from it? It's a technical answer, but it's a good one full of hope and grace.
