Lev, 23, 24; PS. 24: Acts 21

Acts 21:12-13 When we heard this we and the people there pleated with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem Then Paul answered why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the lord Jesus Christ.


In Leviticus there is a incident where a man blasphemes God and God tells Moses to take him outside the camp and have the witnesses place a hand upon his head and then the whole congregation is to stone him to death. Then in psalms 24 it says “he will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God his Savior” Paul says I am ready to die for then name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is interesting the differences in how people see the name Jesus Christ. Some as a holiday for his birth to give gifts and take off work. Some as the enemy of the Koran or other religions. Some as a cuss word they can say when stubbing there toe. To some he is a name that represents peace and love. To us who call upon His name and remember what he did on the cross, for us He is the answer. He is the surety of peace but not peace with man peace with God Himself. The truth is there will come a time when all and I mean all, will kneel before him and proclaim “Jesus Christ is Lord”. As for me (we) I chose to do that this mourning.

All I can say is come quickly Lord Jesus, come quickly.

My God richly bless you with the assurance of being able to call upon the name of Jesus Christ as His bride.
