What Does Papa “J” have to Say?
Proverbs is all about skillful living, the young man who excels in a sport will make any father or mother proud. Skill does not come from a greasy heart, nor is there any wisdom in the heart that is fat with ignorance in the knowledge of godliness. Proverbs 10:1
The meaning of life and the reality of it is the most important subject that mankind is faced with. Why am I alive and is it real? If a person cannot put these two thoughts at rest in their lives the spin off can go in every direction. Some people become passive and some aggressive and what is alarming is that both characteristics produce a starved soul. Yesterday I indicated that the soul who reads the Bible and who does not believe in God can gain nothing from the word of God to find meaning and purpose, but that unbelieving people will find that the sacred writings of religions and cults will be attractive. I did not explain this so today I will try. The Bible is not sacred, it is HOLY and SACRED! (Big difference) This simply means that the Bible is set apart from other religious writings. Religions and cults understand this perfectly, that is why you will find the Bible (The Living Word of God) as a “backup” reading in their bent beliefs. The Bible is God inspired and written by men and women who were under the power of the Holy Spirit to write as God guided them. Simply sacred writings are Satan inspired and written by men and women who are influenced by a demon spirit. 2 Peter 1:16-21. The second epistle of the apostle Peter explains this detail. In a quiet moment take the time to read this epistle. More tomorrow.
The Gospel of John
John 19:31-37 Crucified among thieves, on a hill that He created. Death in this manner does not come easy. Crucifixion was a method of torture, punishment and ultimately death. On any other day the person or persons crucified would be left to die to the bitter end. But as you read, the Jews are actually providing favor by speeding up their deaths in having their legs broken. Pilate agrees with the request of the Jews and the Roman soldiers go into action.
The two who were crucified with Jesus were still alive, their legs were broken. This meant that their legs could no longer support the weight of their bodies and their diaphragm could no longer work properly. With their lungs shut down the men suffocated and died within the hour. As you know that when the soldiers came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead and to prove this a spear was thrust into His side.
Plasma is one half of the composition of blood, at death the red cells, white cells and platelets separate from the plasma, this causes discoloration or blotching in the skin and when the skin is punctured the blood cells and plasma will drain from the body separately. But is this important for us to know here? Well yes! The Plan of God in fulfilled by the LAMB, His sacrifice is complete and Scripture is fulfilled; The power of His death was not at the hands or will of man. It was the purpose and plan of God. Psalm 34:20; Exodus 12:43-51 (The passover lamb) and Psalm 22:16. The eye witnesses certified this truth. John 21:24-25
