A few weeks ago, I was on my annual retreat. The location was a familiar retreat house in Old Tampa Bay, Florida.

St. Paul spent a lot of time in his missionary preaching and teaching considering the purpose of the law. He was subject to the law of Rome as a Roman citizen. He was also a serious follower of the Jewish law of the covenant, which at its heart was God’s steadfast love for his people and their learning how to love God and neighbor. In his writings, St. Paul shared how his own following of Jewish law did not actually fulfill the purpose of the law of the covenant.
