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.

The FELLOWSHIP of the UN-ASHAMED ~ A Martyr's Statement of Faith ~ LENTEN MEDITATION # 9

 

I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed.

 

Found among his papers in Zimbabwe after he was martyred for his Christian faith. It is the moving testimony of a martyr.

The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

Moses Lifting up the serpent on a POLE ~ Interactive LENTEN Meditation #4 ~ John 8:28

 

SERPENT ON A POLE in Mt. Nebo

Mount Nebo is an elevated ridge of the Abarim in Jordan, approximately 710 metres (2,330 ft) above sea level. It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land. The view from the summit provides a panorama of the land and, to the north, a more limited one of the valley of the River Jordan. The West Bank city of Jericho is usually visible from the summit, as is Jerusalem on a very clear day.~ Courtesy of Wikipedia

CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS: WHO Owns Your Body and Your Spirit ?

 

Does the BIBLE DIRECTLY tell us WHO owns our body and spirit ?

YES, but ONLY  

IF our BIBLE follows the Byzantine Greek mss.

 

UNFORTUNATELY, we have more than 61 modern English Bibles which DO NOT TELL US directly “who” owns our Body and Spirit.

 

Let us hear the WORD of GOD IN 1 Corinthians 6: 19 - 20.

What ? know ye not . . .

that your body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT Which is in you, Which ye have of GOD, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price:

therefore glorify GOD in your body,

and in your spirit, Which are GOD’S.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 

+  +  +

 

In 1 Corinthians 6:20 , hundreds of Byzantine manuscripts speak with one voice, telling us WHO owns both our body and our spirit.

 . . . and in your spirit, Which are GOD’S.

But of the 61 English version Bibles listed on Bible Gateway’s website

only 12 included the last seven words.

ZACHARIAS and ELISABETH

Three persons received the HOLY SPIRIT just before The LORD came: 

  • The babe, John, while still in Elisabeth’s womb, Luke 1:15, 
  • his Mother, Elisabeth when Mary greeted her, Luke 1:41, 
  • and Zacharias, when baby John was circumcised and named, Luke 1:67. 

They NEEDED the HOLY SPIRIT, for times were evil.
