Real Men

I finished reading Galatians tonight.  It is good for us to have all of these letters from Paul to see the same message being spoken over and over and over again to the churches.  No more division.  No more morality based on the old Law.  Salvation through Christ.  Salvation through faith.  A cross-centered gospel.  At the end of the letter Paul comments on how big his letters (handwriting) are when he writes them on his own.  It's little things like that that bring the Bible home for me.  These were real men and women.  Suffering reals pains.  Feeling real anguish and just wanting to save as many people as they could through the gospel of Christ.  I wish I could see his real letter.  I wish I could see just how aggravated he was with the churches through the appearance of his handwriting.
