What a wonderful freedom we have in Christ. Praise Jesus that we no longer have to live under the mosaic law; we understand the freedom in Christ and realize the ceremonial requirements of the Mosaic law are no longer binding. But chapter 14 is very clear that we are not to judge those who want to stay with their ceremony and laws. We are not to judge.
I don't know if I've mentioned this in my blog before but I'm not one for ceremony or outward signs like incense or the like; but when 9-11 happened I wanted to do something more concrete than just pray...I wanted something hands on, some sort of gesture. I went to my old Methodist church - where I grew up before age 12 - and lit a candle for the victims and for this country. It seemed to bring me some peace. But really, it was the Holy Spirit meeting me where I was to offer comfort.
This hymn from my youth came to mind. Not sure why. Close your eyes and enjoy.
