HE+ DID NOT RUN ~ Good Friday, 2021 ~ Hebrews 12 :1-4

HE+ DID NOT RUN

Good Friday, 2021

Hebrews 12 :1-4

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us,

and let us run with patience

the race that is set before us,

 

Looking unto JESUS The AUTHOR+ and FINISHER+ of our faith; WHO+ for the joy that was set before HIM+ endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the Right Hand of the Throne of GOD.

 For consider HIM+ that endured such contradiction of sinners against HIMSELF+, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood,

striving against sin.

+  +  +

BUT , HE+ HAS.

Monday of PASSION WEEK ~ 2021 ~ PAIN Before JOY

Monday before Easter.

The Collect.

ALMIGHTY GOD, Whose most dear SON+ went not up to joy but first HE+ suffered pain, and entered not into glory before HE+ was crucified;  Mercifully grant that we, walking in the Way of the Cross, may find it none other than the Way of Life and Peace; through the SAME+, Thy SON+ JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

The UnLeavened Bread of The PASSOVER ~ INTERACTIVE LENTEN MEDITATION #10 ~ John 6: 4-6

 And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

When JESUS then lifted up His+  eyes, and saw a great company come unto HIM+, HE+ saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

And this HE+ said to prove him: for HE+  Himself+  knew what HE+ would do.

+  +  +

The “bread” which would have been available at this time WAS VERY LIKELY the un-leavened, un-raised bread loaves* BECAUSE it was the Passover season. Hebrew households were strict about removing the leaven from their houses and their diets during the Passover season.

*Loaves: Keep in mind these very likely would have been flat, round loaves, sort of like discs or “Frisbees”. These would not have been leavened, humped-up loaves of bread as are yeast breads.

Let us read about the importance of unleavened bread, in the eyes of GOD.
