Dear Chris It's all there for the Jews if they would open their eyes , which of course they cannot do, without our help and the help of the Holy Spirit.
Did not Abraham instruct Issac to carry the wood up the mountain so they would have wood to build a fire for the sacrifice. Christ , also carried the "wood " for "the sacrifice, "his own cross".
Moses lifted up the serpent and all that looked on the serpent did not die. Likewise, we who look upon Christ as becoming sin for us shall not die. We have all been snake bit. We have all sinned. And we all need Gods remedy for our sins , past present and future.
It really is all there; every word of the old testament points to Jesus. Have you ever thought about why God created You. God proposed to offer Christ before the foundation of the world was laid, He knew Adam and Eve would sin, He knew David would sin. Why the history of the Old Testament. Sum it up in two sentences. first because He chose to do so, He is God, and secondly because He wants us to know Him, to hear what He has to say. To fellowship with Him. To be eternally connected with Him with a bond that cannot be broken.
Your soul is timeless. Your soul is that part of you that can always be connected to God ,or it can be eternally separated from God; Christ IS THAT GAP. The way ,truth and life, No man comes to the Father but by Him.......May the God of all creation warm your heart mind body and most importantly soul this day and for ever more.gregor |
