Good Morning Passover Eve Shabbat!
Father thank you for this NEW day, as you walk with us today keep us focused on Your TRUTH. Please continue to fill our HEARTS & MINDS with Your PEACE, so there's no room for fear or doubt! In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST'S Name we pray. Amen! Happy Sabbath and Shabbat Shalom everybody! Passover starts this evening! 🙌🔥. With all the wonderful preparation for Passover, it had me thinking... “What did Our Father and Savior really do for us 2000 years ago on Passover?” Well, obviously, He became The Passover Lamb, He was sacrificed for us, and He made sure that we were forgiven from the transgressions that would have, without a doubt, kept us out of His Kingdom. Praise God Almighty for making The Way! For forgiving our sins! For treating us like not only His children, but His friends! What unimaginable Kindness, Mercy, and Compassion He has for us! With all this in mind, it led me from praise and humility to a place of deep reverence. It really is almost unimaginable, if not for Our Father’s Spirit, the magnitude of what He has done for us. Today as we prepare to celebrate Passover, as we remove the leaven from our homes (remove sinful ways from our life), and with gratitude in our hearts, let us all be humbled as we think about the magnitude of what we have been forgiven for. If any of us is having a tough time with this, there is one thing you can meditate on to come to a place of sincere and honest reverence for Our King and Savior. Just say to yourself: “Hey... Think About What You Have Been Forgiven For” May God Bless each and everyone of you on the other side of this screen. May your preparation day for this Passover and your Shabbat (Sabbath) be full of thanksgiving, kindness, and excitement for the revelation He will give. Finally, may this Passover, which is the ultimate family meal together with Our Savior, be one that touches you, your family, and anyone who may be taking part in this most Holy of Our Fathers Special Feasts with you. May we all be reassured and comforted as we celebrate that Our Father, The Almighty Creator of All Things, has made The Way for us all to come to Him through His Greatest Masterpiece Ever... The Passover Lamb Who Forgives The Sins of The Whole World. HalleluYah! - Hey! Think About What You Have Been Forgiven For We all have to accept the fact that we will be hurt in this life. Unfortunately, there will be many times where we will all be hurt intentionally by what others say or do to us. Think about it: when we think or hear the word forgiveness, we can all probably immediately think about certain heartaches and pain that has been caused by someone. We think of these things because they are fresh or they are deep. When we have been hurt like this it can be easy to dismiss forgiveness because of resent, anger, pride, feeling vulnerable, or a myriad of other reasons. What we must resolve to realize is that Our Father, in His Word, has given us a most excellent reason to forgive... Because He Forgave Us. “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 It is a sobering thought when we stop to think about all the careless, thoughtless, mean, rude, impolite, or hurtful things for which we have been forgiven. If we are honest with ourselves, this should cause all of us to be more forgiving towards others... for we all have been forgiven much. On the flip side of the coin, if you don't feel forgiven, it will most likely be more difficult to forgive others. How can you give what you don't believe you have received? If we don't feel as if we have received forgiveness, do we even know the significance and power it can have in our lives? Think about it: Our Father... The God of All Things... The Most High Being... completely and totally wiped out your sin, forgave you for every bad, nasty, wretched thing you have done, and He Did It By Giving His Son, and essentially Himself, over to be killed for... you. We all know there are things we deserve to be "paid back" for, and Our Father has cleared them away with The Life of His Only Son. If we can pause the next time we are angry, hurt, or finding it hard to forgive, and then put our minds on all that God has forgiven us... it should be much easier to forgive someone else. When it comes down to the nuts and bolts of things, none of us can forgive anyone more than Our Father has already forgiven each and everyone of us. May we all take a moment today to dwell on those "big things" we have been forgiven for, and let it help us to forgive others for their transgressions. Remember, Our Savior Said: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:24) Let's take a note from Our Savior, Yeshua, Jesus Christ Himself. May we not only try to forgive, but may we also petition Our Father, in Jesus's Name, to forgive them also, for when any of us sins, it is really just a sin against Him. Before we end today, let's take a look a little deeper at what Our Father uses His Servants Paul and John to write to us. Let us try, with the mindfulness of what we have been forgiven for, to let God's Word settle in our hearts, our minds, and change us into more forgiving, tenderhearted, humble people, with The Light of God Shinning from our very being. If we but only try this, Our Father Will help us to forgive those who have hurt us deeply. Once we forgive those who have hurt us deeply, our hearts, minds, and souls can be at Peace. Not only will we gain peace, but we will also be expressing thanks to The Great God and Father Whom Has Forgiven Us. It took A Great Sacrifice for us to receive our forgiveness, and the sacrifice we must make to forgive others... is most assuredly less. Fuel For The Soul: “Therefore, putting away lying, “ Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:25-32 “Beloved, let us Love one another, for Love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not Love does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE. In this the Love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is Love, not that we loved God, but that He Loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so Loved us, we also ought to Love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we Love one another, God abides in us, and His Love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.” I John 4:7-13
