Law


Galatians 6:2 ESV
2   Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

The Greek word here for law seems to have roots having to do with pasturing livestock. A pasture has boundaries of some sort and food for the herd, or flock. Jesus is referred to as the shepherd to His sheep. He fulfills the law and changes it to the law of liberty, the new wine. He leads us to green pastures and still waters.
