You owe it to yourself to learn more about the Old Testament and the Hebrew people. mighty4mom………….I grew up being taught that the Jews were Christ killers etc and how sad I was never taught about the Feasts that God called his Feasts.

Don't know anything much about the Jewish people much more their calendar. In fact, until I came to N.A., didn't know much about them except that they were the ones that rejected and crucified the Lord Jesus. I don't mean to accuse, just stating a fact. After all, every thing that happened in God's plan of salvation was all according to His plan. It was a long-range plan that spanned centuries to fulfill! Amen.

I would imagine a suitable start would be Paul's epistles and letters, as the same Lord Jesus thad had delivered him from pride, rebellion, defiance, and all the rest of the things that kept us enemies of God are laid out. Then we'd have to have a look at Hebrews, Peter, John, and Jude to get a little bit better look. Let's not forget the Revelation of Jesus Christ, as it describes the things that are coming upon the world(from which we've been delivered from) whenever The Father determines the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. That being said...the Cross of Jesus means forgiveness of not only my sins but the sin of the world. Redemption. Reconciliation. Justification. The adoption as a son. Deliverance. The seal and guarantee of the purchased price(Parakleto),the Holy Spirit. Sanctification. Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, kindness, gentleness, meekness, self-control, comfort, consolation, every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, faith, virtue, knowledge, perseverence, godliness, brotherly kindness, hope, glorification. Just a few of the things the cross means to me. Without the horror/beauty of the cross there would be no salvation, and without the empty tomb there would be no life, and without the ascension there would be no Helper. You could read this list backward and it comes to the cross. Always the cross. It's hard for me to express with precision just exactly what it is that the crucifixion means to me without citing Holy Scripture, as my puny little mind has a time trying to find suitable words to give expression to the promises of God apart from His Word. I am so-o thankful for the grace of God the Father that He demonstrated to the world in the first revelation of His Son. Just what we needed would be the understatement of all time. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20. The Cross of Christ means life to me. It was on the cross that the Lord Jesus purchased my life of sin with His Blood, and it's that cruel instrument of death that is the symbol of what it took to pay for something so vile. I Peter 1:3-5. The cross was the payment. The empty tomb is the gift. GT Hoo boy, anybody got a couple years so that I might begin to give testimony to what the cross means to me?

I too always try to go back to the word of God for discernment, interpretation and knowledge. If Jesus said I will die and raise again in three days, I believe it. Too many of the world religious have taken even the passion of Christ and distorted it with man made traditions, and interpretations. Quibling over it really means this or that, personally I just try to go for the simplest explanations as readily available to me - and though the word of God is deep, it's understanding is made available to me through the Holy Spirit. I'm also with plumbape so thankful to the Lord for all He has done. His grace, mercy, creation, redemption, infilling endless. boundless Love. Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor any other thing in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ jesus our Lord.

Try to keep my mind on the things above and not the things of this world. As always I feel privileged to learn from the combination of knowledge here. I am at a loss for words to express my feelings toward my Lord Jesus Christ having not only fulfilled the prophecies but made it possible for even one such as I to be blessed by it. Thank You All here and a big Praise God Just logging in to let you all know I following the comments but I must admit to knowing nothing about these topics untill reading them here.

I think it is quite alright to be emotional about Jesus and our relationship with Him. I can't remember the singers name but the song he sang was about it being "us" who nailed Him (Jesus) to the cross with our sins. We are all guilty of placing Jesus up there on the cross. As another song says " we were on His mind while He was on the cross. Frank, I too seen the turn of the words mentioned in Matthew 27:25, The Holy Spirit is the best at writing. A curse turned into a blessing out of the enemies own mouth. Daisy, I didn’t get bitter out of anything you said.

Can't really say that everything has been agreeable, but that's not the purpose. When the dispute as to which day the Lord Jesus was crucified/laid in the tomb/resurrected arises I have to trust in the words of Jesus Himself; Matthew 12:40. It's neither profitable nor edifying to the Body of Christ to wrangle over this day or that day according to the teachings or traditions of men or instituions. We have been blessed with the ultimate authority(Holy Scripture)that settles all human interpretations of this verse or that chapter or even a word. So with the wisdom He's given us and the knowledge of the Holy One that leads to understanding(Prov.9:10) let us exercise discernment, for He has blessed us with that gift, as well. Let's not get caught up in the way of the world in trying to prove our point. The Holy Spirit of the Living God has united us into the Body of Christ and I do believe that dissention is earthly, sensual, demonic, and serves no purpose. Other than, and apart from, all that, I see a loving and caring fellowship of lovers of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and I would imagine that although we may not share every doctrinal statement and belief as one another, that gives no real reason for division. No? That's what I thought. I leave you with Second Corinthians Thirteen Fourteen: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

However for an unbeliever we are trying to share the gospel with we might want to explain how that scripture is covered by God's love and grace. I didn't interrupt you as bitter but you know me I always think teach "God loves you" and the rest will follow. Having said that I do realize God gives each of us a different ministry and as I listen to you more I know you are full of Gods love you just share that love differently. As always you are loved:) You are special. daisy Your words are truth all that have a relationship with God knows who they are and who He is have full understanding of the scriptures you quoted.

However, it is yet another matter that her feminine nature does not appreciate to be called as “Frank”…so, we had to abbreviate it more…and now she goes by Fran. Thanks so much for including me in you hugs:) wretch-like-me, you are very special for me…not exactly like a brother…but more like a son… because my little daughter’s name is Frankincense and sometimes we lovingly call her Frank…which also happens to be your name!

Praise God for our covering of Christ's Blood! (without it we would all be lost forever!) Easter or Resurrection, its all a heart condition.
