Let the soldier be abroad if he will; he can do
nothing in this age. There is another personage
abroad, -- a person less imposing, -- in the eyes of
some, perhaps, insignificant. The schoolmaster is
abroad; and I trust to him, armed with his primer,
against the soldier in full military array.
--Brougham.

The law was our schoolmaster, to bring us unto
Christ. --Gal. iii.

| | Definition: | | the law so designated by Paul (Gal. 3:24, 25). As so used, the word does not mean teacher, but pedagogue (shortened into the modern page), i.e., one who was intrusted with the supervision of a family, taking them to and from the school, being responsible for their safety and manners. Hence the pedagogue was stern and severe in his discipline. Thus the law was a pedagogue to the Jews, with a view to Christ, i.e., to prepare for faith in Christ by producing convictions of guilt and helplessness. The office of the pedagogue ceased when "faith came", i.e., the object of that faith, the seed, which is Christ. |
