Arrgh, this is got to be the longest Monday that never ends. Literally thanks to Jesus I'm off tomorrow. It's Miami for me. Like a good Protestant, I'll chow down on a juicy steak while pondering the marvels of the Gospel and avoiding Max Von Sidow at all costs. Charlton Heston, now THAT'S ANOTHER MATTER.
This particular Easter I've had the chance to get to know a wonderful , funny, quick to quote and quite not into the Yeshua is the Messiah mood Jew, that had made me sharpen my knowledge of the book of Isaiah and Jeremiah... I'll leave all discussions of the Law for next week and for this couple of days, I'll celebrate what unites us instead of what brings us part.
My dear friend Ben, Jew or Gentile, this week is much about blood and wood as it is about life.
Blood in the frames, blood on the cross, life out of bondage for both of us and a promise of next year in Jerusalem that is quite literal for you, a bit more symbolic for me and yet we both wait for it with the same passion.
When you drink on your Passover Seder, save one for Elijah (I'm waiting for him too, you know) and drink one for me, when all the rite is done and the wine that is left has no purpose.
Shalom to all who celebrate Passover, Happy Easter to those who celebrate Jesus and a Very Merry Hmmmm those Crazy Peeps Day! to the rest of the world.
"In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples--of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.
In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea."
In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea."
