Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“Thus a married woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies, she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.”

Paul has an interesting view on women and marriage. I’m not a huge fan - and even though I understand what he means, this text is still focused on how just the women is bound by the law. Thus was the patriarchy. Sigh.
However, what I notice is that freedom from the law comes in death.
Freedom in Christ came through death.
What a weird message to those of us who spend our lives fearing and trying to prevent death.
Has death ever been a gift in your own life? How?
