I really enjoyed using this for my daily bible reading. The book is heavy duty with thick binding, paper, and metal spiral. This made traveling with it very easy. The 8 1/2x11 pages with wide margins worked really well with my pens and highlighters.
But more importantly, as I reflect on finishing the reading of the Law, I notice three things:
1. How much of the Old Testament Law is reaffirmed (and strengthened) by Christ in the New Testament (Mt. 5:17-18). Although the ritualistic requirements of the Old Covenant are fulfilled in Christ and no longer binding, the spiritual standards of God’s holiness have not been diminished.
2. Even under the Old Covenant, God did not demand that His Law be met with legalistic obedience, but a heart of faith that feared and loved God (and resulted in obedience)—the same heart of faith that is required of all people today, but now no longer in response to the Law, but in response to the fulfillment of the Law: Jesus Christ. “And now Israel, what does the LORD require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deut. 10:12).
3. The heart of God in the Old Testament. The God of the Pentateuch is not distant or uncaring, but incredibly loving, merciful, and tender. “Merciful and gracious” God says of Himself in Ex. 34:6, “…slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.” God spoke “face to face” with Moses and dwelled intimately with His people in a way that would not be surpassed until the birth of Christ.
I look forward to pouring into the “Histories” portion of the Old Testament starting in Joshua.
