The Way, The Truth, The Life

So, it was a very important fact to know that every Jew knew the three doorways of the Tabernacle and the three doorways of the Temple as:

 The Way, 

The first doorway that led to the outer Court. 

 the place of sacrifice and the lavor where the priests washed and looked in the mirror to make sure they were not dirty before they offered the sacrifice.

The Truth, 

This was the second doorway that led to the Inner Court, where the table of showbread and the giant menorah or lamp stand stood.

and then The Life,

The third doorway or entrance into the Holy Of Holies, which was blocked by the veil, where the Ark of the Covenant, representing the Presence of God stood.

In John 14:6,

Jesus answered, “I am The Way, and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Yeshua was saying he was the doorway to the offering, sacrifice.

 He was the doorway to the inner Court the bread of life and the light of the world.

 And he was the doorway into the Holy of Holies. 

And it was his blood that was put upon The Mercy/Life, seat for the forgiveness of sins.

 This is why the religious Jews were so cut to the heart. When Jesus said he was The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

They knew that the Messiah/Announced One, would Tabernacle with man and be called Emmanuel,(meaning, God with Us.) Isaiah 9

They were looking for someone to free them from Rome not a spiritual King, 

Who was the King of a spiritual Kingdom.

This is most likely the reason that the disciples, after Jesus resurrected and ascended, 

called themselves the followers of The Way. 

 The Gentiles that believed in Yeshua, were called Christians. Eventually the name stuck as they were all Messiah/ anointed One, followers.

And I agree, loving the Lord your God with all your heart with all your mind and with all your strength and loving your neighbor as yourself is the only true way of love!

WHAT IS COMMUNION?

 *Do you want to read this blog in your own language?  Click the TRANSLATE icon on the right of the screen.*
When you eat or speak with someone, we say,  you are COMMUNING with the person, right?
It is interesting that sin coming into the world involved food!  Interesting.  When Yeshua was tempted in the wilderness, it also involved food.  Yeshua took back the authority and conquered, where the first man failed.  Yeshua symbolically IS the second Adam.

 The first Adam ate of the tree of knowledge good and evil, which brought death.  Do not speak to the enemy as Adam and Eve did.  One could say they communed with Satan and were deceived.  People argue, "their eyes were opened."  Yes, but they would not have tasted of physical death or been separated from communion with God, if they had not been deceived by the Serpent.  Do you have any dead areas in your own life because of deception?  Remember only Holy Spirit can show you and you must ask-because-when we are deceived we do NOT realize it.

The second Adam  was Yeshua.  During the Passover meal, before Yeshua died, He told them to regularly partake of the Bread and Cup, remembering His death.  This sinless death of Yeshua brought us LIFE.  Today this is what we call communion or partaking of the Lord`s Supper.  This is Passover; death passes without effecting you and you have LIFE.

So today when you partake of the Lord`s Supper, you are spiritually clothing yourself with the Messiah.  
When you eat and drink physical bread and water it sustains your physical body.  When you eat spiritual bread and water(water of the Spirit is Holy Spirit), it sustains your spiritual body.  Now since we are body, soul and spirit; what we do spiritually will effect our physical body.  

When you partake of the Lord`s Supper you are DISCERNING His body, not your body.
This means you examine what happened to His body that you might have LIFE.
You have been made clean because of Yeshua`s body and blood.  He is the Bread and Water of LIFE.

Have you ever thought of doing this daily in the privacy of your our home?
I urge you to partake of Him symbolically and see what Holy Spirit will show you.
He Heals ALL our diseases and Forgives ALL our sins.
We do not have a problem with this concept when it pertains to sin, or do we?
Do not base your belief on your experience or a feeling.  Base your belief on what Yeshua said.  
He heals ALL, and forgives ALL.
May you Commune with Him today and may his Blessings Rest upon you.

HE KNEW YOU BEFORE YOU WERE BORN

*Do you want to read this blog in your own language?  Click the TRANSLATE icon on the right of the screen.*

Do you ever wonder weather you are important to the Lord and weather your life was planned by the Lord to accomplish a specific purpose on the earth?  The answer is YES!  Here is the scripture that gives you that confirmation. The Lord knew you before you were born and set you apart.  Do not allow the peer pressure of those around you to overpower you.  Listen to what God`s vision and God`s plan is for your life.  If you ask him He will answer you.


 Jeremiah 1
⁴ The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

⁵ “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
    before you were born I set you apart;
    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

⁶ “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”

⁷ But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. ⁸ Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.
⁹ Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. ¹⁰ See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”
