Prayer: Thank you, Jesus, for the gift of your life for our sins. Amen.
Reading: Romans 7: 15- 25a (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: I believe it was Martin Luther that said something to the effect that the Law is the mirror with which we see that we need Christ. (If you are a more astute theologian than me, let me know his exact quote or if it was someone else!) Jesus came to abolish the law. We now live in an age of grace. We are to show others the love that Jesus showed to us. As we look this week about our king, Jesus, let us be reminded that we are not subject to the law but subject to the king, who died to take away our sins! --Chad Hershberger
