AGUEST SAID
Good morning and may you ALL have peace!
Close to 2,000 years ago our dear Lord, along with some of his most dearest friends, celebrated a festival to JAH, the MOST Holy One of Israel and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The celebration included sharing the Passover Meal and is a festival still celebrated today by people all over the world. After that meal, he rose, girded himself, and then washed the feet of his dear friends in order to set the example for them as to being one another's servant. He told them that if he did so to them... they should do so to one another. This was to SHOW, by DEMONSTRATION, that the greatest among THEM had to become the LEAST among them... as he was doing, he being the Son of God, their Lord, and their Teacher... yet, their servant. Some, including me, YOUR servant, still engage in that practice today, although not necessarily on the same day but whenever the opportunity to "serve" in this way presents.
Of course, our dear impetuous brother, Peter, asked for his head to be washed as well, which our dear Lord told him wasn't necessary... but that he had to wash them as he did so that they could have a "sharing" with him. That washing, then, not only was in symbolization of our dear Lord's servitude, but his CLEANSING of the feet of his dear friends, thus making them "comely" and worthy of doing the work they would later be sent to do. Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:15
As ambassador's "substituting" for Christ, the same occurs when we engage in this humble practice: we have a "sharing" not just with him but with one another, as well as impart cleanliness to one another, on his behalf.
After that humble demonstration, our dear Lord shared a bit of bread and wine with his dear friends, saying to them that they represented HIS flesh... as the "manna from heaven" by means of which man can live... forever ("Man does not live by bread alone, but by the WORD that comes forth from God")... and the blood, which was to be poured out on behalf of ALL of mankind, to atone for and so open the way for forgiveness... for ANYONE who partakes of them. That promise, although starting with this small group of dear ones... was made on behalf of ALL of mankind who put faith in the flesh and blood of Christ... and in HIM.
Tonight, some who constitute themselves "Israel" (and indeed, many are!) will be engaging in an observance that takes in part of that night's activities. While there will be no Passover Meal, per se (no meal of roasted lamb with bitter greens)... and no feet will be washed... unleavened bread and unfermented wine will be passed among those attending that observance. Sadly, although almost everyone in attendance would declare a union with Christ if asked about it, the very thing that serves TO declare that union publicly will be ignored by them. Not ignored in observation; no, the bread and wine will be handed to each, from the youngest able to hold them, to the eldest in attendance.
BUT... most will not partake of them. Indeed, in some instances, none will. Rather, because they have been misled by their leaders most, if not all in the various locations where this event will take place... will make a CHOICE... to pass these very important emblems by. And by doing so... will pass life by! They will make that choice because they have been told that only a FEW (and very few) are to partake - only "the anointed." What they have NOT been told is that (1) even those who received an anointing most often partook BEFORE such divine event, particularly the dear ones present the night our Lord instituted this particular part of the observance (he did not blow holy spirit on them until after he was resurrected and appeared to them through a closed door); and (2) what our dear Lord HIMSELF said as to WHO should partake of them. His words are recorded, though, and state:
"I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
"[Jesus] said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” John 6:48-58
Unfortunately, these words are rarely read to those who attend this event. Rather, they are told that they HAVE life... IN THEMSELVES. This is a direct contradiction, though, of what Christ is recorded to have said, is it not? It is and so, once again, will not only thesse of Israel pass life by... but the Life... CHRIST (John 14:6)... will have no choice but to pass THEM by.
And so, to all those HERE who DO profess a union with Christ... or are wishing for such a union... I exhort YOU... in the spirit of love, for you AND for Christ... by means of holy spirit... to listen to the FINE SHEPHERD as to these things, and not the false prophets and false christs who would lead you AWAY from that Shepherd. (Matthew 17:5; John 10:3-5, 16, 27)
Please... if you are present at one of these events... DO NOT PASS [the] LIFE BY! Rather... RECEIVE HIM! As he, our dear Lord said, "TAKE... EAT! This means MY body!" and "TAKE! DRINK! This means MY blood!" Because, as he said... unless you DO, "You have NO LIFE within yourselves."
May those of you with ears... and those who have none (yet) but wish to receive them be GIVEN ears... to hear... and DO... when the Spirit and the Bride say to YOU:
"COME! Take 'life's water'... which water is the holy spirit of God, the MOST HOLY One of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whose name is JAH... of Armies... and is poured out from the innermost parts of His Son and Christ, the HOLY One of Israel and Holy Spirit... JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah)... FREE!"
Therefore, let ALL who are wishing and thirsting COME! And let all who are HEARING... SAY come!"
Come, dear one! Take life's water! It's FREE... and there is NO pain added with it!
YOUR servant, as I am servant to ALL those of the Household of God, Israel, and ALL those who go with... and a slave of Christ,
SA
