The Law

James 2:10

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

It has been said that the body of laws--the Law--is like a chain. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If one link breaks, the chain is broken, even though all the other links are intact. If the one link breaks, whatever is being hauled by it will come loose, and be lost, all for that one link.

So it is with the Law: Stumble at one point, and we are not perfect, we've missed the bulls-eye and sinned. That's why Jesus took our sin-nature on the Cross for each of us, He was and is perfect, He hits the bulls-eye every time.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
