I have bluebirds! This morning I looked over my porch and on my birdhouse was a beautiful bluebird. Having removed the beginnings of a sparrow’s nest, I am glad to see the state bird of Missouri preparing for a new family. It is a mystery to me how one particular species locates the house intended for their use.
Numbers 28:16 -29:40
Instructions for celebrating Passover, Pentecost, Feast of Booths. How and what to sacrifice, when to do no ordinary work.
Luke 3:23-38 The geneology of Jesus, from Joseph back to Adam
Psalm 62
Verse 10b “if your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life.”
Proverbs 11:18-19
“Evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward of the godly will last. Godly people find life, evil people find death.”
These verses from “The One Year Bible” all have a relevance today. On Wednesday Dan Sered from Israel spoke to the Wesley congregation about “Christ in the Passover”. A powerful teaching connecting the New Testament to the Old Testament. I desire to know even more about these connections.
If wealth increases … During the last 5 weeks the stock market has gone up 800 points. Most middle class Americans have some investment in this market. It is so tempting to make wealth the center of one’s life. I must constantly avoid this by careful stewardship and extravagant generosity.
Guide me on this Friday Lord as I seek to serve you with all my mind, heart, and strength.

I never understood the Christ in the Passover" presentation. It seems like they are deliberately trying to convince people that Jesus somehow followed after the Rabbinic Traditions (which were an offshoot of the Pharasaic traditions). How is that reasonable?
ReplyDeleteIf Christian Scripture is explicit that Jesus died during the Day of Preparation, before the Passover, then how could the last supper have been a Passover feast where they ate the lamb?

I cannot see how Christians can pretend that Jesus was imitating Pharisaic Judaism, or its offshoot, Rabbinic Judaism. Its a bizarre marketting campaign.
