The Passover Lamb

I'm shared this with a few friends already but I just love how God planned out His story before the beginning of time and is in control of everything! 

So Jesus came into Jerusalem on the Palm Sunday four days before the Passover and was in the temple and being questioned by the religious leaders and they couldn't find fault with him... Well in Exodus 12, when Moses was talking about the Passover lamb and the laws surrounding that, the lamb had to be brought into the house 4 days before Passover and inspected by the priests or leaders to make sure it was without fault before it was sacrificed and fully cooked. 

Also the lamb had to have one stake going through it vertically and one horizontally otherwise it wouldn't be  be fully cooked through like it was supposed to be as stated in the laws about the Passover lamb,  these two sticks the lamb would die on makes the shape of a cross strangely enough. 



How amazing is that? 
God is good!
Happy Easter! :) 

Toeing the line

"Hmm... how close can I come to doing this without actually sinning?"

Have you ever had that mindset. I have, and I know it's a very slippery slope that leads to full out rebellion against God.

It's not a good mindset, and it's not something I've struggled with recently but I see a lot of people who do, especially within youth groups but this issue is definitely not limited to youth, it can happen with anyone, so I have a word of advice...


Rebel.  Full out... against the WORLD. 

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind... [Romans 12:2]

It is my personal desire to be so far from toeing that line that others wonder... what is she all about? 

To be calm in the midst of exams rather than stressed, to be a joyful helper, to serve, to only speak well of others, to have confidence in God alone. 

And I want to encourage others to do the same. 

 Think about what areas of life you may fall short in or have this mindset, read what God says about the subject or ask someone you trust about it, and then run from that line.
