THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

“A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup [of the Lord’s Supper]….But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment.” (1st Corinthians 11:28,31) 
“When they met on THE first day of the week to break bread” (Acts 20:7), these first-century Christians were meeting to keep the Lord’s Supper, for the word (“met”) in the original Greek of the New Testament meant a religious meeting. Interestingly, the word “the” in the original Greek meant each and every without exception perpetually. 
Even if we did not know the Greek, look at how the Jews (and we) interpreted “Remember THE Sabbath Day to keep it holy”. They did not remember the Sabbath day monthly, quarterly or yearly, but weekly. Therefore,  the first-century Christians realized that “When they met on THE first day of the week to break bread” (Acts 20:7), it meant every Sunday.
We can sing, pray, teach and read the Bible any day of the week. What makes Sunday special is that is the day we are to meet to take the Lord’s Supper, the Communion ~ the bread representing his body dying in our place, the wine representing his blood shed in our place.
During the Communion, we consider Jesus’ terrible sacrifice in order to save us from hell. And we consider our sins that made his sacrifice necessary to save us from hell. The above scripture also tells us that. During our weekly partaking of the Communion, we should be examining ourselves, comparing ourselves to Jesus. It is kind of like taking weekly exams so we will be ready for the big final exam on the Day of Judgment. 
God thought of everything ~ weekly remembering the sacrifice of our Lord so that we never take him for granted, and weekly remembering our sins. And so we fall at his feet and whisper “Thank you.”

BLOOD MOON SIGNS: What Does It Mean?

Image
  There has been a lot of talk and discussion about the Blood Moons phenomenon this year.   Every time you turn around someone's posting a video or blog about them.   But what does this mean to you, to Israel, or to the world? We know the first blood moon is April 15, 2014.   And that is the date on the Gregorian calendar.   This is the calendar you and I use every day.    Basically, it is the world's calendar.   But there is another calendar, the Hebrew calendar used by Israel.   However, the Hebrew calendar is God's calendar.   So, April 15, 2014 is also Nisan 15, 5774 which seems strange to us, but not to God or the Jews.   God has been using His calendar since the beginning of time! In the Bible when God was freeing the Israelites from Egypt, He told Moses about His 'feasts' and 'seasons', which in Hebrew is translated as the word 'moed'. Moed means 'divine appointment'. So, the first divine appointment is Passover.
