No Longer in Need of a Nanny

Here in Galatians, Paul tells us that “the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ.” The interesting Greek word he uses to describe the role of the law is _paidagogos. _ And while it’s often translated as “schoolmaster,” “tutor” or “guardian,” another good word to describe it is “nanny.” That’s because the role of the law is temporary. Just like a child's nanny, it serves an important role until that role is no longer needed. Wait until you hear the wonderful reason why!
