Galatians 3:23-29
A Sermon for the Third Sunday of Pentecost
This Galatians text is a great text because of what it says about the law as our “custodian.” “. . . Before faith came, we were confined under the law . . . the law was our custodian until Christ came . . . But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian . . . .”
The word “custodian” today is commonly understood as another word for “janitor.” But, of course, that’s not the kind of custodian that Paul is talking about.
