DAY TWO!

The EASTER Story.

Much has been written about the events of Easter, the death of Jesus on the cross/stake/tree are the essentials of the power of our redemption and forgiveness of failures to the promise of the New Life or being Born-Again!

We also know of the much in connection to the resurrection of Jesus from the grave and again the fulness of the promise of Eternal Salvation, but the hours between these two tremendous events are hardly ever covered in detail?

We get but a glimpse of the burial of Jesus, the torn curtain in the Temple in Jerusalem and the lies that were put in place to dishonour these events! When Easter is over Pentecost is the next episode of the Christian Church, missing out the Ascension of Jesus!

Matthew 27:33-66,    Mark 15:47- 16:1,    Luke 23:55-56.

Jesus Circumcision?

Fulfilling the Law and set us Free!

The Law is what the world lives under and to set us free from rules and regulations was the work of Jesus, who we as believers in Him will be celebrating this Christmas?

Many have taken away the emphasis of this part of the story of the birth of Jesus, their reasons may be more to do with anti-Semitism rather than it being just a minor issue!

Jesus came for Israel first and so He had to fulfil the Jewish Law by doing everything that it required, because He was both perfect and sinless a second Adam. If we see this and point it our to others, it will make understanding more of the New Testament teachings in a better way.

Limiting it because its not relevant now, is no excuse in explaining the role of the law which will come up again and again in the scriptures! One is concerned that much racism amongst believers is both a block and short coming to mission, outreach and preaching the Gospel today?

Let us this season stand back knowing the fulness of this season and our own salvation in God, hoping that by our witness others will to come to faith in Jesus the King of Israel and the Saviour of the world!
