Let that sink in for a moment. Paul marveled that followers of Jesus could be tricked into falling back into their Jewish traditions. I once heard that tradition is just peer pressure from dead people. There was no clear conscience for the Jew before that generation. Once a year a sacrifice was made, but everyone knew there would be another. In today’s message, Pastor Mark us of the finished work of Jesus, and what exactly He accomplished. The blood of Jesus reconciled you to the Father. Not your church attendance, not your good deeds. You know a tree by its fruit, if you believe right you’ll produce righteous fruit. If you make a tree good its fruit will be good.
