MESSIAH'S DEATH

Thought FOR TODAY



A HEBREW SAGE MIGHT SAY. . .
"I am your GUARDIAN" said CREATOR GOD, "so why do you NOT pay ME MY
appropriate due by keeping MY commandments?"

MESSIAH'S DEATH
"CHRIST gave HIMSELF for us, that HE might redeem us from every lawless
deed and purify for HIMSELF HIS OWN special peculiar people, zealous of
good works." [Titus 2. 14]

While it is true that the LORD JESUS died to save us from our sins,
according to scriptURE [1 Corinthians 15. 3], it was also to "purify for
HIMSELF a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Paul said, "For to
this end CHRIST both died, and arose, and lived again; that HE might be
LORD of both the dead and the living." [Romans 14. 9] YESHUA
ha'MASHIACH desires to have people who will serve HIM as LORD of their
lives. "CHRIST also loved the church and gave HIMSELF for it...that HE
might present it to HIMSELF a glorious church, not having spot or
wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish." [Ephesians 5. 25 - 27] In and because of Him , the SAVIOUR
sees us: "Every part of you is fair, my beloved, in you there is no spot
or blemish." [Song of Songs (Shir ha'Shirim) 4. 7 Tanakh, Kethuvim]

Of YESHUA, the FAITHFUL & TRUE HOPE of all flesh it is recorded, "HE
died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves,
but for HIM WHO died for them and rose again." [2 Corinthians 5. 15]
"How much more shall the blood of CHRIST purge your conscience from dead
works to serve the LIVING GOD?" [Hebrews 9. 14] Finally, the Apostle
Peter reminds us that the Lord YESHUA "bore our sins in HIS OWN BODY on
the tree; that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness [1
Peter 2. 24], that we should no longer be slaves of sin." [Romans 6. 6]

We who have been saved by the redeeming death and resurrection of KING
JESUS from our sins through HIS precious shed blood should thank HIM
continually for WHO HE is, and for what HE has done for us. Moreover,
we should praise HIM for what HE has done in us. Then, seek always to
live pure lives that HIS holy purpose is accomplished in us, and that
the sweet-smelling aroma of HIS love flows from our being. May we truly
be HIS people and HE, our GOD. This is our reasonable service and our
holy calling.



Sha'alu (Pray) for the shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of
Israel!
As we bid farewell to Sabbath, may the Holy One bless and fill you with
HIS Holy Commandments and call us to occupy ourselves with the
LIFE-GIVING WORDS of TORAH. And, may your ever-growing faith grant you
the privilege to witness and experience the marvelous miracle of being
delivered from the yoke of slavery to sin. We encourage you to take some
of Sabbath's sweetness with you each coming days. "Tov Shavua (Have
a good week)!"
Blessings to each of you this Resurrection/Passover Season and always.


Praying for the peace of Jerusalem is praying for the return of Messiah
Jesus and His Kingdom.
