Num 5-6 Acts 26

The law was designed to deal with hard, murderous, greedy thieving hearts and the law identifies such behaviour and cuts it off. But Paul preached love. In this example in Acts, the courts were trying to deal with the manifest heart of love in Christ. No wonder the Romans were perplexed and the Jews so jealous. If we are to allow Christ to make us lovely and we are to be lovable for others we must make ourselves lovable in order to help break down the walls of solitude and loneliness and invite others into the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
