EASTER! Part-One.

Bread & Wine?

For some it has been a long time now since we have been able to fellowship together and yet we should know that we can all the time in the Spirit and in truth as many millions do everyday in fear of being murdered?

The Lords table or Communion was set in place by our Lord at the last supper or Jewish Passover meal. He took bread and wine and left us an example of His death and atonement for our sins, before the Cross/stake/tree and in the New Covenant for us to keep!

Any believer can share the bread and the wine and quote scripture to family or their bubble and we have no need of a priest or a minister/pastor. It may be a challenge, but in these difficult times where two or three are gathered, Jesus said He would be with us!

Exodus 12:11-48, Matthew 18:20, 26:26-27, Mark 14:12-16, John 4:23-24, 1 Corinthians 11:25-26, Hebrews 2:12.

The Darkness. One.

Exodus and Easter.

God made His presence known on these two important occasions of deliverance for His people Israel from their slavery in Egypt and for our individual deliverance by Jesus shedding of blood on the cross/stake/tree for our sins!

God in His character is not dark, but rather pure light, truth and holiness and without sin, but we are told something of that dwelling place that we can never enter and that is a place of darkness!

This time of the year should be one of reflection on our own calling and salvation, while also hoping and praying for those lost around us that they might see the light that Jesus offers and turn to Him in confession and repentance of their own failures, seeking His forgiveness?

1984 Now. Part-One.

Controlled Media.

This week has seen the great hype about security in Sinai Egypt, after the unknown tragic loss of a Russian airliner last Saturday with 224 people on board. The British government and some European nations have joined in claiming that it was a bomb and the terminology of evacuation is being used for todays returned charter flights.

Yesterday London and many other cities saw the Million Masked March, were police resources by magic were deployed to control the situation (Rioting). Yet there are not enough police to deal with everyday crime from burgalry to muggings.

The Media is reporting untruths, nearly about everything just as George Orwell said in his 1984 novel and there are many other writers such as Phillip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury who warn that a state can quicly turn from free to Tolitarian in the blink of a unsuspecting eye.

The bible tells us that in the last days it will be very hard for believers to share and live their faith!

REVOLUTION. Part-Two.

The Fear of Changes.

Loosing out is one reason for starting one, others trade, and wanting a change that is dramatic. The New Testament shows us the man Demetrius who wanted rid of this new teaching, which he felt was putting him out of business.

He was accused of starting a riot and if this stituation was to esculate it would open the door to change in the Roman Empire.

Today we have seen revolutions in Egypt and the Ukraine over economic issues, they claim it is better to be with the west or the European Union?

Acts 19:24-41, 1 Timothy 6:9-13.

Stephen.

The first Christian Martyr.  Acts 6:5-8:3.

Today we hear daily in our media reports of the deaths of Christians in Iraq, Syria and Egypt. But many more die across the globe in China, India, the Muslim world, tribal and political violence in Africa and South-America.

Meanwhile Christians die in the Britain and the U.S.A. for their faith, or good deeds. The world does not love us, because we do not continue to tell lies and live in the darkness. We are alive within the New Life, that the Holy Spirit of God is within us. We will be honest and tell the truth. We will also help those in need, in the world and in the Church and not find escuses to justify Sin.

Stephen was murdered by Libertarians not because he had a faith in God, but because he spoke a truth that  they did not want to hear. We will be persecuted and some of us may go home, but even if we are attacked, provoked we must learn to forgive and not react.

Palestine. Part-Four.

We now come to examine the Balfour declaration, which promised much to both the Egyptian Arabs (termed the Palestinians) by the British and the Jews who had started to flock into the region from about 1890. The British believed that by promising both sides something it would be an appeasement to peace for them and not peace for anyone else.

This was a common ploy of the British Empire and had been practiced world-wide, giving a never fulfilled hope to many peoples and races of one day having their lands back. At that time the British considered themselves to be the embodiment of the New Roman Empire.

But the return of the Jews to the land of Israel was not accidental, it was God’s will. He had always promised them that one day he would restore them back into the land and this time they would not be removed. Isaiah 49:6, Acts 1:6.
