Come and See

Come and See! I never thought I would hear these words again. But my 2-year-old son just said that. I felt a rush of memories in my head. I followed my son to his playroom / our living room. In it he had arranged his toy cars in a perfect line and wanted me to see them. He obviously did not know the deep meaning that his three words brought to my memories. Three words that transformed me. Come and See. That was all that took for God to shake my life and as I study the Bible, I realize that I am not the first one whose life had been changed. ( John 1: 35-40 ) . It was in 2008 when someone told me the same. A brother in Christ had said that same sentence. I was on the phone with him, and asked him the following question in some manner "how do I know Jesus" and he just said those 3 words and my world was shaken. I followed what he said and took my motorbike and went to the place that he instructed me. There were about 15 people in all, 5 of them well known to m...

Help our unbelief

23 And Jesus said to him, "'If you can'! All things are possible for one who believes."  24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"  (Mark 9:23-24, ESV) In the story above we see a  situation that can occur in our lives at times.

Let's pray: Lord, help my unbelief. Amen

Let There Be No Leven

  Context of Communion Ex. 12:21–28 The Israelities hurried to make the bread and the lamb for the Lord’s Passover. A transition from Egypt to the promised land, the death of the first born and therefore the heir of the family for Egyptians, and the calling of the nation from a family. The first Passover made these things, and God in his providence has wisdom planned things for us too in that process. A nation from a family The family of Jacob had grown and been a a multitude of people. They were commodity and nobodies. God unites then as a nation A worshipper and a people ( Ex 12:1-2) God calls the Israel as not just a nation but as a kingdom with God as the King (Theocracy) Instituted by Christ Matt. 26:26 Mark 14:12 ( On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb...) Luke 22:19 Do in remembrance John 13 Forgiveness of sins of many Do in remembrance Thanksgiving as participation What we ought to remember Christ Death my...

Leviticus Redux: Leviticus Chapter 2

Emoji version ๐ŸŒพ||๐Ÿฅ–+๐Ÿง‚(๐Ÿถ) =๐Ÿ”ฅ Shorter version The main topic is grain offering. All grain offerings can be brought as bread that is unleavened and not sweetened with honey or grain or flour. It should be mixed oil or frankincense or both. Salt is compulsory. Part of this is given to the priests.  The salt was a strange thing. I think it might have been a costly or rare thing. Also they extracted the salt from the sea. It was used as a medicine and for preservation and healing.  Reference   Leviticus 2 Notes Matthew Henry MacArthur : Lev. 2:13 the salt of the covenant. This was included in all of the offerings in 2:4–10; 14–16 since salt was emblematic of permanence or loyalty to the covenant
