Many times in our recent history, law and order has been a major campaign theme. People seem to have many ideas of the precise definition of law and order. I want my law and my order.
Vigilantism rises when people get too hung up on their own version of law and order.
We return to the times of Jesus. The Pharisees have their own version of law and order. They had rigid laws and one didn t dare go outside the accepted order. Jesus didn t worry about the Mishna s laws and order. He had come to fulfill God s Law.
