The Law a Schoolmaster
Galatians 3:24
Why the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.


"The method devised by Dr. Arnold at Rugby School, was to eventually raise the moral tone of the whole school by first raising the tone of a certain part. Is it irreverent to call the Israelites the "Sixth Form" of the school of the human race, an elect nation for the sake of the non-elect, chosen neither for their own merits, nor principally for their own blessing (though their privileges were inestimable), but to hasten the coming of Christ, and thus in the end to open the kingdom of heaven to all believers?"

(C. R. Lloyd Engstrom, M. A.)
