Jesus Changed Everything

30 The priest will offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Through this process, the priest will purify her before the Lord for the ceremonial impurity caused by her bleeding.
31 “This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.
- Leviticus 15


How complicated it is to perform the process of cleansing and purification when we have been unclean during the time of Moses. There are many things that causes a person to be unclean. When there's a skin rash possibly resulting to a skin disease, when your clothes or house has been contaminated, and when there's a bodily discharge by either a man or a woman. Even as simple as touching the unclean thing, man or woman, will make one become unclean too. The priest will quarantine the unclean person and examine them after a week. And if they are clean or healed of their uncleanliness, the priest will be offering and doing some rituals and sacrifices to GOD to complete the purification process. What a very tiring, and long process it is to be clean in GOD's eyes during the old times.

Are we not blessed that we do not live during those ancient times but that we live now. People who lived even after the death of Yeshua are considered blessed because they enjoy the same simplicity of living and pleasing GOD that we do now. What a huge difference that JESUS has made to every person knowing that to be cleansed we just need to have faith and ask for His blood to cleanse us and His Word to purify us of all sins. How convenient and easy it is for us because GOD has made it simple by just having faith in His Son Jesus so that those who will embrace and love the Savior can easily come to HIM. Do not take for granted what Yeshua has done for you on the cross, because what HE has done has changed everything. Jesus changed everything.

Listen, Wisdom is Calling

5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance—
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm.

- Proverbs 1


The wise will never be wise enough not to receive any more learning. The discerning can still be guided to a better way, for both the wise and the discerning can still be even more and have more when they understand the proverbs and parable of the Book the wisest King on Earth had written in Proverbs. King Solomon therefore writes the first proverb: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. It is not enough to read this and already understand the depth of this sentence. But when a man fears GOD because he respects and understands the reality of who He is, then a man will not do things that will anger GOD, to keep himself from harm. When a man learns to do this, this is where knowledge and wisdom begins. For fearing GOD will make man learn and understand more the ways of GOD. To fear GOD is to fear the punishments of GOD, but it is not to be afraid of GOD Himself. To fear GOD means to have the highest regard and respect of Him.

But fools despise wisdom and knowledge. Fools don't care about anything. Simple minded people do not seek understanding for all they want to think is that they are right in the little things that they know. They want it simple and easy, they just want to have everything done their way. Waywardness is being uncontrollable and unpredictable, they do what they feel like doing. Fools don't like to learn, they are too lazy for that and they are comfortable in their complacency. But the thing that they do not know is that the wayward ways of the simple and the complacency of fools will bring destroy to themselves. But those who listen to wisdom, who do a little more to seek the right thing will live in safety and be at ease without any fear. Wisdom is always calling forth, it is in the air everywhere wanting to be heard, desperate to be known, GOD's spirit is wisdom. Listen, Wisdom is calling.
