Matthew 28

-
Part of my Daily Bible Reading on November 28.

Thoughts Nov282024Thu Thanksgiving Day:

Read Matthew 28:1. This is a very important verse. It gives information that is easily glanced over and overlooked. It was the day after Shabbat (Sabbath and day of rest). It was the first day of the week. It was Sunday, as we know it today.

So this means Yeshua Messiah (Jesus the Savior and Redeemer) was dead on Saturday, Friday, and Thursday.

FASCINATING THING TO NOTE

Note how nowhere in this chapter does it say to change day of Shabbat and our day of gathering as a congregation and community for worship to Sunday.

Read Genesis 2:1-3.

BACK TO MATTHEW 28

I cannot help but wonder if Yeshua (Jesus) had been dead and in the tomb until the earthquake. Had He remained until then or did He rise earlier? Had He waited for her, and the rest of the ladies, and then risen? Or did the earthquake mean something else altogether? I will not read into it anything more than just some questions of curiosity.

The end of this chapter is the Great Commission.

How have I shared the Good News with everyone I meet? This week? Today?

Confessions of a Bible-nut

-
So I have another confession. I am a nut. With my favorite translation of the Bible. I am a walking storefront of my favorite version of the Bible. Want to see what possibilities there are? I have a thinline, medium print, large print, and giant print. The main Bible I have chosen, though, is the thinline, smaller print version because it is easy for me to carry and pace as I pray from it. It's also easy for me to carry it everywhere.

Do not be silent (at certain times)

-
There are times to be silent, like when we are with the Father. We need to listen far more than we speak. We miss out on much when we fail to hush and listen. (Sidenote: And isn't it funny/sad how we can say then how we are concerned because we haven't heard from the Lord?) However, there are times when we must not remain silent. Please read: Esther 4:14 Isaiah 62:1
