In this passage, tension is evident as legalistic Jews wanted to hold on to the Mosaic Law as well as have grace. Do new Gentile Christians come under OT law? Do they need to become Jews as well as Christians? We must not lose sight of the truth of the gospel. Contextualisation is taking the gospel and helping people make sense of it and understand it in their culture and society, their community and location. Jesus' commission was to take the gospel to the ends of the world. The gospel changed location and culture but the message remained the same. How can we make it easy for our neighbours, family and friends to know the truth of God's word?
