Commandments or Promises?
A little aphorism that I've enjoyed...
The OT commandments become promises of Jesus for NT children of God.
(from Charles Price, speaking on Jesus' apparent tightening of the 10 commandments with all the But I say to you's in Matt5)
A bit like changing "thou shalt not" to "but you won't". Because that's the holy character of our Lord and God. Who indwells and empowers us!
