Who works while Christ rests on the Sabbath?

Faith-CHANGE- LIGHT seeing constancy in transformation |. People give tons of lip service to change, saying, for example that change is good,  change is great, but change makes most people uncomfortable. Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ cannot be replaced.

Jesus chose a Saturday to introduce his community to him. He attended synagogue and commented on the meaning of Isaiah 61. The people of his hometown threw him out and tried to end his life.

Hope-CHANGE -LIGHT trusting renewal | the people wanted renewal but the leaders were having none of its processes, even though everything in the future required hope,

Love-CHANGE -LIGHT embracing ADAPTABILITY |

Israel adapted to being in the land without paying attention to what God required of them to live in the land and to stay in the land, and as a result there was destruction and exile.  Take note, none of these things are possible in the church of God.

Death-CHANGE – LIGHT becoming Sabbath REST | if we connect the two to light the Sabbath of Christ’s rest is a dark time, and that is not an acceptable scenario. Light and life have not dimmed or suffered defeat

Eve came from Adam but no one calls him “mamma mia”, and we are quick to assign origins to terms like sire, begotten, and copulation, and when we do we abandon the most intimate of interactions and relationships. Mother Jerusalem may not strike you as particularly  impressive and relevant to all humans, but God has a Son apart from motherhood, and when God put his Son on display he needed a mother. Enter Mary, of the lineage of David.

MOTHER and life

Faith-mother-LIGHT seeing nurture as promise |

You will have seed – descendants – Genesis 3:15

Hope-mother-LIGHT trusting gestation |

All the living have hope – whether they are conscious of it or not.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts. (Psalms 22:9)

Love-mother-LIGHT embracing care |

Motherly love beckons to us as the temporary standard of care and affection.  Its failure is not a reflection of God’s faithfulness or reliability.

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. (Isaiah 49:15)

Death-mother-LIGHT becoming portal to Immortal’s life |

The moment human beings are born they begin the journey to death, and thus a mother’s room becomes part of that necessary cycle: non-existence, life, and death

Behold, I was brought forth in guilt, And in sin my mother conceived me. (Psalms 51:5)
