Galatians 3:23-29 NRSVue

23Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. 24Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be reckoned as righteous by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, 26for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. 27As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.

Further reflection

Analysts and commentators always divide people into different categories and groups. It is easy - and sometimes attractive - to think of oneself as part of a particular sector. Paul reminds me that such divisions may limit my view of God's action. I consider what it is like to let go of distinctions, remembering what it means to be 'one in Christ.'

Sometimes I can become my own disciplinarian, living by rules and limits that I have set down. I pray that I may receive and live in the freedom that Jesus wishes for me.
