Those who have the light brought by Jesus from God, when we meet we find we have a spirit, a drive, among us, to do what is right and walk in this light brought from God the Father by Jesus the Son. The Law of Moses written on stone and paper is no match for this life force. It is a spirit propelling us towards life. It is courage. It is willingness. It is the drive towards noble living. Knowing the truth by having believed in Jesus, we are being set free to let this spirit in our sails drive us towards right ways of doing things, which give life to others around and to ourselves. This is what makes us want to perfect righteousness in each part of our lives. The crucified Jesus died in righteousness and we tend to believe the good news that is was for us he died, and that God has raised him from the dead such that he now lives forever. The Holy Spirit ministers among us, manifesting grace from God, and in the wake of this Spirit, our spirits are alive, to produce this life in us and among us. Let us live by this. This is the Way of the Covenant with God Jesus bought for us with his crucifixion. God raised him from the dead to lead us in this way, help us in this way, and teach us this way. God sends the Holy Spirit to bring this help from Jesus to us, in our meetings together in Jesus Christ’s name, and in our individual devotional times. Renew within us, O God, this right spirit, and let us learn to live by it, led as Your Sons by the Holy Spirit you send us. Amen.
