Rev. DavidNewhartTHE CHAPLAIN’S STUDYOwe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.Roman 13: 8Paul is famous for his concept of the love of neighbor and the love of God. It is through Paul that wehear the words of Jesus, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Paul was very concerned about the idea of thelaw being changed because of Jesus the Christ.The Jewish law is now completed through the lasting sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. The Jews thatPaul would be preaching to no longer must follow the Old Testament law; they now live within the loveof Jesus Christ who has, as Paul tells us, has fulfilled the law. If the Jewish laws do not need to be heeded,what can the people who have lived by these laws do for themselves? This is where Paul told the Jews thata new life is ready for them not in following the rules but living the love of God.We must remember that, without Paul, the church of Jesus Christ would not exist. He took the Gospel to so many more people,towns and cities than any of the other disciples. The twelve stayed with Peter mostly in Jerusalem and the Roman Empire took overall of Israel by 70 AD. Paul’s mission to the Gentiles became the saving factor for the church. The spread of the Gospel is almostexclusively that of Paul. He took the Gospel to not only Jews but also to those who were not Jews. That got him into trouble withPeter, who believed that only the Jews should be followers of Christ. They carried this feud till the day they died. Paul continuedhis work among the Gentiles even though Peter thought it was wrong.Paul’s work among the Gentiles gave us his concept of love one another. Jesus said “Love one another as I have loved you.”This was central to Paul’s theology. He brought that message of the Gospel to all people, no matter what their religious background.Paul ended his career in Rome. The letter we have of Paul is one he wrote to the people of the church in Rome before he arrivedthere. He was sent there to plead his case before the emperor. He must have lost his plea because he was put to death in Rome. Hehad converted thousands of people to Christianity by that time and brought to fruition the church of Jesus Christ.A Family A Tradition of Courteous, Dignified Service ServiceOffering Traditional & Contemporary Funeral & Cremation ServicesOffering Traditional & ContemporaryAffordable Cremation at our On-Site CrematoryFuneral & Cremation ServicesSix generations thoughtfully dedicated to those we serve for over 100 years…Affordable Cremationat ourJohn H.
