DAY 6
of the Resurrection Season
of the Christian Calendar
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Y'SHU+ began both to do and teach, Until
the day in which HE+ was taken up, after that HE+ through the RUACH ha KADOSH
had given commandments unto the apostles whom HE+ had chosen:
To
whom also HE+ shewed Himself+ alive
after His+ Passion by many infallible
proofs,
being seen of them forty days,
and speaking of the things
pertaining
to the Kingdom of GOD:
Acts 1: 1-3
+ + +
Forty days and nights --- unlike ANY other 40 days and nights ever had been or ever will be on planet earth --- were 40 VERY ACTIVE days and nights.
Disciples
were moved from a despair they could hardly live with to a JOY that
they could hardly contain in their natural bodies.
In
fact, the brothers walking to Emmaus were SO ENLIVENED by contact with
the Resurrected, Living LORD , that they turned around and walked BACK
TO JERUSALEM that very same night ... a matter of nearly 7 miles ! --- just to share the fact :
Y'SHU+ IS RISEN !
What did The Risen LORD talk to them about during that 7 mile journey from Jerusalem to Emmaus ?
Then HE+ said unto them,
O fools,
and slow of heart to believe
all that the prophets have spoken:
Ought not M'SHIKHA+
to have suffered these things,
and to enter into His+ Glory?
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,
HE+ expounded unto them
in all the Scriptures
the things concerning HIMSELF+.
Luke 24: 25- 27
+ + +
Earlier,
verse 16 tells us that their eyes were holden, that they might not know
Who+ HE+ was, as they expounded to HIM+ their puzzlement over His+
death.
From the very words of these brothers, they had TRUSTED in M'SHIKHA+, so they were quite confounded at the works of GOD.
Apparently,
they did NOT trust the witness of the women of their company who found
His+ Tomb empty ... and had talked with an Angel !
HOW OFTEN HAVE WE OURSELVES
REJECTED THE WITNESS
OF THE LIVING CHRIST ?
Why do we make The LORD "prove" HIMSELF+ to us, over and over again?
Yes,
we "agree" in our minds... but do we ALWAYS AFFIRM in our hearts the
Truth, when we are faced with great and serious difficulties ?
The LORD, The LIVING LORD, The RESURRECTED Y'SHU+, up-braided the brothers ... and it was NOT GENTLE.
"O, fools ... "
The LORD called these brothers !
and slow of heart to believe
ALL
that the prophets have spoken
The
LORD Y'SHU+ revealed HIMSELF+ to them only in the breaking of the
Bread, His+ Body, because their minds were fixed on "what they knew"
or thought they knew.
Unbelief is like that.
The LORD had to share with them the Crucified M'SHIKHA+, alas, before their eyes were opened to the Resurrected, Living CHRIST !
The breaking of the Bread, HIS+ Body, was required to move them from unbelief to FAITH ... that living trust in M'SHIKHA+ to be exactly WHAT HE+ said HE+ is !
IS M'SHIKHA+ REQUIRED
to do that for us too ?
Must HE+ prove Himself+ over and over again to us before we move from unbelief to faith in HIM+, faith in His+ Victory over death, hell, and the grave ?
Do we continue to live in despair in secret, tormenting areas of our lives ?
Must HE+ upbraid us, also ?
+ + +
Dear Heavenly FATHER,
O,
THOU WHO hast given us Thy SON+ and made us meet to be partakers with
HIM+ in glory, I stand ashamed before THEE for my unbelief.
I repent and forsake my clinging on to unbelief even when I know The LORD Y'SHU+ is ALIVE and LIVES ever to make intercession for us.
Turn my vision from myself and onto the Victory in M'SHIKHA+.
Turn my vision from the affairs of this world and onto the Coming Return of M'SHIKHA+, when HE+ makes all things new and puts to flight the workers of evil, high and low.
Grant me that Living victory, entrusting my care and keeping unto HIM+ Who+ lived and died, and "Behold," HE+ said, " I+ AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE! "
In the Mighty and LIVING Name of our Resurrected LORD Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+, I lift these prayers to THEE, O FATHER.
+ + +
Glory be to GOD ON HIGH !
HalleluJAH ! The M'SHIKHA+ IS RISEN !
HE+ is risen INDEED !
+ + +
