The story of Sarah and Hagar is one of contention, and Paul draws on this contention in detailing the relationship between the Old and New Covenants in Galatians 4. But the real story is not about simply making a parallel between the two, but drawing a lesson that is meant for all of us to learn from: Don’t go back to slavery.

CloseThe glory of the Resurrection is real, but it's coupled with the tragedy of the Crucifixion. Even if you're not religious, it's one of the most pivotal moments in world history. But a big question remains...who's responsible for the death of Jesus? The usual suspects emerge: Pilate, the Romans, and the Jews. Scripturally though, the Bible talks about how we're all responsible (1 Peter 2:18-25). Realistically though, the responsibility is with me. Not everyone (although that is true), but with me. I'm responsible. Me. Just me. Personalizing the Cross is important, because it reminds me of God's love. Even if nobody else had sinned, my sins would've been enough to put Jesus on the cross. What a powerful concept for us to think on.
