Tuesday, November 26 The Law has become our tutor leading to Christ.—Gal. 3:24. In the first century C.E., Jehovah revealed to his people that Jesus’ ransom sacrifice had abolished the Mosaic Law. (Col. 2:13, 14) All the sacrificial offerings that the Jews had been making for hundreds of years were no longer necessary and no longer had any value. The Law had fulfilled its function as a “tutor leading to Christ.” That is not to say that Christians are no longer interested in sacrifices. On the contrary, the apostle Peter spoke of the need to “offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Pet. 2:5) Moreover, the apostle Paul had made it clear that a dedicated Christian’s life—every aspect of it—may appropriately be considered “a sacrifice.” (Rom. 12:1) So, then, a Christian makes sacrifices for Jehovah, either by offering up certain things to him or by giving up certain things for him. Our sacrifices, however, must be acceptable to Jehovah. w12 1/15 4:1-3
