Law and Grace

[Boanerges]

My brothers and sisters a little food for thought:
It is no coincidence that on the day the law was given 3000 people died Exo 32:28
And on the day grace was given 3000 people were saved
Act 2:41
God's great mercy was poured out so we may enter into His presence- we couldn't earn our way in before and we certainly can't earn it in now! Thanks be to God for the awesome sacrifice- the shed blood of our Lord- we can once again ( like Adam) know Him as Father!

Much love and many blessings in His Name,
brother Larry.

Amen Boanerges, amen. There are so many interesting details involved with the fulfillment of the shadows and feasts in the old covenant.

I like to study Jewish and church history, I find God's genius absolutely fascinating.

Christ truely is the fulfillment of all things.

Here's some more interesting things about Pentecost.

Shavuot the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost was 50 days after Passover, the celebration commerated to Matan Torah (the giving of the Law) marking the day God established a covenant with Israel. Everyone was to cease from all manner of work, a day of rest.

Christ was crucified on the Passover and 50 days after His death, on the daay of Pentecost, the HolySpirit is given to establish a new covenant to replace the old. Bringing about the ceasing of all religious works, a life of rest.
