Galatians 3:23 — the Law as guardian/nanny: imprisoned under law until Christ

Mike reads Galatians 3:23-24: "Before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed... the law was our guardian until Christ came." The law functions like a nanny with rules — oppressive-feeling for an adult, appropriate for a child. The imprisonment language captures the moral consequences: the law carries a penalty (death) for violation, creating captivity. This is why sinful humanity under law feels imprisoned.
