Shadows 2

I wrote a few days ago about shadows and growing up in rural Saskatchewan. Sometimes when I was young I could see my mother's shadow near the door to my bedroom. Her shadow brought me comfort because I knew she was near. However, if she came into the room the shadow no longer brought comfort but rather my mother herself did. This is the way it is with the Law. The Law can bring comfort because it shows that the Saviour is coming but once the Saviour has come the shadow is not a comfort.
