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.

ARE YOU A CARROT, EGG OR COFFEE BEAN?

A young woman told her mother how hard her life was. She didn't know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as she solved a problem, another one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first pot, she placed carrots. In the second pot, she placed eggs. In the last pot, she put coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word.  After about 20 minutes, she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out, and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out, and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and place it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter she asked '' What do you see? ''.'' Carrots, eggs and coffee '' the daughter replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrot...
