JESUS, THE PERFECT SACRIFICE



NOW FROM THE SIXTH HOUR [noon], UNTIL THE NINTH 
  HOUR [3 P M], THERE WAS DARKNESS OVER ALL THE 
  LAND. AND ABOUT THE NINTH HOUR JESUS CRIED OUT
  WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, ELI, ELI, LAMA 
  SABACHTHANI?"  THEN, BEHOLD, THE VEIL OF THE 
  TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO FROM TOP TO BOTTOM; 
  AND THE EARTH QUAKED, AND THE ROCKS WERE 
  SPLIT.
                ( MATTHEW 27:45 & 51 *NKJV )

      Friend, the Holy Veil being torn from top to bottom 
  signified God's opening up the Temple [Church] to all 
  people, Gentile as well as Jew.  Thus making us all part 
  of the Body of Christ!

      You see, the temple veil separated the most holy place
  called the "Holy of Holies," where God was to reside, from
  the people.  Only the high priest was allowed to pass behind
  the veil, and then only on the "Day of Atonement." ( see LEV 
  16:20 )  Thus, the people of the Old Testament could only 
  approach God through a priest and a blood sacrifice to be
  forgiven of their sins.

      Also of note; Jesus died exactly at 3 PM, which was the 
  exact time of the evening sacrifice at the temple.

      Therefore Christ became our sacrifice, for that is why
  John the Baptist said; "BEHOLD! THE LAMB OF GOD WHO 
  TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD." ( JOHN 1:29 ) 
  when he saw Jesus coming.  Also the Apostle Paul wrote;
  FOR INDEED CHRIST, OUR PASSOVER, WAS SACRIFICED 
  FOR US. THEREFORE LET US KEEP THE FEAST.  
  ( 1 CORINTHIANS 5:7 )  Amen.

      Have a wonderful weekend Friend, and why not attend
  the Church of your choice as we celebrate Christ's
  Resurrection this Easter Sunday!

      Also Friend, if you have children, please teach them what 
  Easter is really all about, so they do not grow up thinking
  it is only about bunny rabbits and colored eggs and candy.

New- Better than Queen Esther Book

A book is a door to someone's discovery. An access to an invaluable reservoir of knowledge and understanding. More importantly, a book inspired by God's word, is much more invaluable. Nothing can be compared to the unsearchable wisdom embedded in the depth of God's word being dug out in simple terms in form of a book. *Better than Queen Esther* is a epitome of divine touch in prints for today's generations and the ones unborn. Mysteries are revealed, practical indoctrination is simplified. It's the best birthday gift for that couple, friend, pastor, cousin, colleague... It touches relationship, marriage, power, position, leadership, self control and mastery. Get a copy from  Jumia

She also took advantage of the short distanc...
