Building Relationships Through God's Love

We welcome July with a repentant heart. There are things happening in this world that are changing the way we see normal. Places are opening with restrictions. Some people are realizing what foolishness is happening.  God is winning battles. Even though it looks like we have certain major losses, God is winning. We are in an amazing time and the world will never be the same again.

​Scripture of the Week: Matthew 5:14-16    
“You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Likewise, when people light a lamp, they don’t cover it with a bowl but put it on a lampstand, so that it shines for everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”

Maundy Thursday?

4/18/2019

Today, many people around the world commemorate the installation of the Eucharist when Jesus gathered His Disciples in the Upper Room. What if I told you that It was a day earlier? When you look at the description and times of all things involving the Holy Week, you realize that things were condensed to fit a weekend celebration in order to meet the Catholic invention of the Lord’s Day and thereby ignoring the Sabbath. Think about this, the events celebrated on Good Friday include the flogging, the mocking, the decision of the Jews, the movement of Jesus to Golgotha, and the final moments where Jesus died and was placed in the tomb.
The events before that involved the Last Supper, Prayer in the Garden, The Betrayal, The Court of the Sanhedrin. All which happened in one evening. The next day included the court of Pilate, the court of Harod, the court of Pilate again, and Jesus eating an evening meal with Pilate. When you put everything together, Holy Week was really a couple of weeks due to everything that Jesus did in Jerusalem from His Triumphant entry, the teachings, final healings, and everything else that the Bible said occurred.
Why do we condense this to a week? Passover is one of the most highly regarded sacred times for the people Israel. The solemn celebration occurs over a two week period with the payers, preparations (physically and spiritually), gatherings, sacrifices, meals, and all that goes along with the time.
More and more the truth of times and days are being revealed to give us a better understanding and return to the reality that is testing the faith and trust of many. Jesus did do all the things it says in Scripture especially during the final time spent in Jerusalem. We are to remember His actions and Words which revealed many things. The final lessons in His mortal form taught us to be humble servants while leading others to Him. He taught us to affirm our relationship with others through Him by our actions. He also taught that even in our darkest, calling on Him we will be forgiven.
We celebrate Maundy Thursday as a commemoration of the beginning of the sacrifice and fulfilment of God’s desire for a relationship with us. It is the saving Grace of God that Jesus was given to our sins for redemption. All Glory and Honor belongs to God the Father who created us, Saves us, Redeems us, comforts us. Talk to Him today and say thank you.
Blessings,
Rob, Servant of God
