Passover and Pentecost

Passover and Pentecost

Readings:
Acts 1:3-5
Mat 5:17

The three major feasts
1) The Passover
    Lamb sacrificed at 9am
    Lamb put in oven at 3pm
    Sacrifice covers sins


Correlates to Jesus crucified at 9am, buried at 3pm. However, Jesus REMOVES our sins.
1 Cor 5:7 Jesus didn’t cover our sins, Jesus removed our sins. These sins that are removed cannot come back to haunt you.

2) Pentecost
     Pentecost means 50. In Exodus, Cloud descended with loud noise and God wrote His law on tablets, later 3000 people died from worshiping golden calf.
     When The Holy Spirit came upon believers with a loud noise, The Holy Spirit became our teacher that day & 3000 people were added unto the body.

God's awesome, wonderful work!

Here is an excerpt from an email that a co-worker has sent to me:   “ What church do you and your wife go to? I have been thinking alot lately about going to church. I have never really attended church and don't know much about the bible. But I have a desire to know. I feel strange just waltzing into a church and being lost.”   How awesome is the work of the Lord! And that we can take part in it! Woah! Alleluja!
Amazing! We came to church today, and Jessica was feeling down. During the sermon, which was about faith, a statement was said by the pastor about not dwelling on the past, nor "what if's". In this statement, God had put on the pastor's heart to say a series of "if we had only..." statements, and one of them was "Do not say, 'if we had only stayed in Texas, things would be different'..." As the pastor said this, Jessica and I looked at each other, as we could relate :) Allow Peace and Love to dwell in you!

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!
