Luke 24:1-8 -

1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.

He is risen. Indeed.

BibleInAYear: Day 39

I mentioned yesterday the dryness of the Exodus passages...I'll have to admit that often, I'm tempted to skim the passage just to get through it. As I was reading it this morning, I found myself skimming - I stopped, and reread the passage. In it, I found this nugget in Exodus 28:35

Aaron will wear this robe whenever he ministers before the Lord, and the bells will tinkle as he goes in and out of the Lord’s presence in the Holy Place. If he wears it, he will not die.

Different tranlsations say it differently, but the word tinkle drew me in. I found it somewhat funny, but it caused me to think about what the verse was saying. You see, the High Priest (which Aaron was in the process of becoming at this point) had to be dressed appropriately in order to meet with God. When I thought about that, I realized the implications that has for us in this day. We have to be "clothed" properly to meet with God...does that refer to how we dress? No, not at all - Jesus takes us as we are. But to be in relationship with God, we have to be "clothed" in Jesus' righteousness. That doesn't mean we won't continue to sin - we still will, but because we're in Christ, we'll be aware of it, convicted of it by the Holy Spirit, and be drawn to repent of it. I'm not going to get into the nature of repetetive sin...my only reason for bringing this up is that I think it's important to read all of the text because you never know what God has to teach you in that text.

Here are the readings for today:

Exodus 28:1-43
Matthew 25:31-26:13
Psalm 31:9-18
Proverbs 8:12-13

Have a great day.

It's been four days since the last post...life again. Instead of trying to catch up, I decided to just resume where we left off. The Exodus passages we're going through contain some pretty dry reading, so I thought it would be better to start fresh rather try to be legalistic and cram. Without further ado...

Proverbs 8:1-11
