Who I Am

The lesson in this for us is this:

The thing that you hunger for, ……..you already got.

If you hunger for intimacy, you have to be an intimate person

If you’re hungry for love, you have to be a loving person.

If your weary from fighting the battle

The battle of life can be exhausting

But once you know who you are in Christ

Hallelujah

Nothing can ever touch you again the same way

The Gift - Part 3

No one ever imagined that a King would forgive a woman caught in the very act of adultery when the law said she should be stoned. No one imagined a King like Jesus Who overturned tables when people misused his temple They never imagined the King of the Jews riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. And those who would be cheering for his arrival would be the outcasts, the overlooked, and even the immoral ones. No one expected a King to stand trial for crimes that he did not commit. No one ever imagined that an innocent King would be beaten, whipped, scourged, stripped naked to hang on an instrument of torture known as a cross, dying a death that a criminal deserved to die. No one would ever have imagined this King hanging on a cross would look up to heaven and pray for mercy for those who were torturing him when he said, "Father, please forgive them "because they don't even know what they're doing."

Today, we're gonna talk about the gift of MYRRH which many people probably don't know anything about. Myrrh is a valuable gum-like substance that's actually talked about 17 different times in the Bible. Occasionally, myrrh would have been used as an antiseptic. For example, if you know the story on Jesus on the cross, they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh to dull the pain but Jesus rejected that because he wanted to bear the full force and weight of our sins. More commonly though, myrrh was known as an ingredient used to embalm the dead. In other words, myrrh would have been used to help prepare Jesus’ body for burial, so myrrh, represents Jesus as the suffering servant or the Lamb of God who was born to die for the forgiveness of our sins.

I'll tell you a little bit about frankincense. According to essential oil advisors, frankincense is an oil that's kind of like a Swiss army knife. In other words, it's got many purposes. Personally, I don’t get the whole essential oils thing, Mainly because some oils smell terrible ….. And not conducive to personal interaction
