Moses and I Am — short v.

{meditation with analysis - partial text} I'd like to emphasize this note as my favorite, a key approach among the others. Moses said: “Now if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, please teach me Your ways, and I will know You and find favor* in Your sight. Now consider that this nation is Your people.” Then He replied: “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest**.”   *grace; **or 'victory' Q This is the text. What do you think about it? Claude.ai This is a beautiful, distilled moment from Exodus 33:13-14. What strikes me about this scene is the simplicity and intimacy of it. By titling it "Moses and I Am" and presenting just this exchange, you've isolated something profound: Moses asking to truly know God, and God's response being not a teaching or a set of rules, but presence and rest . The structure is almost like a poem - Moses's request is earnest and somewhat complex (teach me, let me know yo...

Desiring mercy - love

Image
When Jesus/Yeshua/Isa was humiliated and lashed he had to learn the total annihilation. Annihilation by Sin and the mechanically used Law. By Sin: through our human cruel nature. By Law: through human "rules" the misunderstanding of the Holy Law, the ineffectiveness of the so called Law-culture. Facing its cruelty when it faces the mercy, release, grace and the domain of reconciliation. Hos 6:6 says: "I desire mercy {loyalty-love}   not sacrifice The knowledge of Gd   not burnt offerings" This is an essential ingredient for the dynamic of the Kingdom, even today. Knowledge of Gd = faithful loyal love. Mercy, (even when confronted with secular order, trend, or religious spirits) = sync with Gd. Consequently: If The knowledge of Gd is mercy, it's action. The knowledge of Gd is knowing/practicing His thoughts and living out them: This is how we read: "walking in the Truth" . John says: I was very glad when some brother...

Reset

(our spiritual and mental hygiene) This article is part of the "Vitalize" pack Our salvation and our adoption has been prepared in advance (Eph 1:4-6) by His love. But life goes on in this chaotic, godless world, which currently belongs to the realm of Evil. It is a ceaseless struggle, sometimes a cruel battle where the naive and unprepared believer has little to look forward to. The Lord Jesus and his apostles take great care to maintain the hygiene of our lives. They never confuse salvation with sanctification . This is our strength - also our safety in the visible and invisible dimension. 2Cor 7:1 Therefore, dear friends, since we have such promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, completing our sanctification in the fear of God. Let's start with the well-known scene: Remember that Jesus Christ washed the feet of his disciples. During supper,... Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all thin...

Who was slain from the foundation

Jesus is the Lamb who was "slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8) From the moment sin entered into the world God had His eyes upon that sacrifice which He himself had prepared from the foundation of the world...

El Oseas 6:6

Image
Estudio. Un sorprendente punto ciego ...lo cual es realmente importante para Jesús. La profecía de Oseas es una clave importante para la cristiandad porque el Señor Cristo enseña este versículo dos veces. Una vez por el bien de sus discípulos. Una vez por el bien del mundo entero. Porque quiero misericordia, y no sacrificios; conocimiento de Dios más que Holocaust os.. Oseas 6:6 [Reina-Valera] Como vimos en la primera parte de la serie "Palabra viva", nuestras posibilidades han cambiado y se han ampliado funda­mentalmente con la llegada de Jesu-Christo. Dijo abiertamente que Oseas 6:6 no solo se refería al Israel de entonces. Más bien, nos habla de su plan de paz definitivo, ofreciéndonos una profecía fundamental sobre su vocación mesiánica, su identidad y su ministerio. Voy a mostrarte algunos versículos importantes y útiles de este contexto profético. Su misericordia y su gracia serán así más visibles. Porque quiero miserico...

La "amabilidad/bondad" cultural

Image
por Anne Kerhoulas La bondad parece estar en todas partes hoy en día. Está en carteles de jardín y barras de granola, camisetas y carteles para tu casa. Aunque la amabilidad no es nueva, "¡Sé amable!" se ha convertido en un eslogan no oficial, la moneda con la que funciona una cultura impregnada de tolerancia, afirmación y aceptación. Pero a pesar de todo lo que se habla sobre la amabilidad, nuestro mundo se está volviendo cada vez menos amable, dividido y despectivo. Si la amabilidad es tan popular, ¿por qué nuestra cultura es tan dura? Tal vez falte esta marca de amabilidad, que pretende hacer y ser buena pero es incapaz de producir cambios reales. En un mundo que está hambriento de bondad pero que a menudo sólo encuentra vacío, debemos mirar a las Escrituras y al autor de la bondad para que nos enseñe lo que es realmente la bondad. Enraizados en el amor La amabilidad cultural tiene más que ver con la tolerancia, ser agradable y soportar las diferencias sin quej...

Cultural "Kindness"

Image
by Anne Kerhoulas Kindness seems to be everywhere these days. It’s posted on yard signs and granola bars, T-shirts, and posters for your home. Though kindness is not new, “Be kind!” has become an unofficial slogan, the currency on which a culture steeped in tolerance, affirmation, and acceptance runs. But for all the talk about kindness, our world is growing increasingly unkind, divided, and contemptuous. If kindness is so popular, why is our culture so harsh? Perhaps this brand of kindness is lacking, pretending to do and be good while unable to produce any real changes. In a world that’s hungry for kindness but often finds only emptiness, we must look to Scripture and the author of kindness to teach us what kindness truly is. Rooted in Love Cultural kindness is more about tolerance , being nice , and enduring differences without complaining than it is about (agape) love. It asks us only to be pleasant to those who are different from us —it doesn’t call us to love ...

The Hos 6:6

Image
series: Our Living Word 2/4 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is really important to Jesus. Hosea’s prophecy is an important key for Christianity, and we can confidently say the same for all of humanity, because the Lord Jesus Christ teaches this verse twice: Once for the sake of his disciples. Once for the sake of the whole world. I desire steadfast love (mercy) and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hos 6:6 As we saw in the first part of the "Living Word" series , our possibilities have fundamentally changed and they have become more extensive with the arrival of Jesus Christ. He knows that Hosea 6:6 holds a profound revelation, often overlooked yet crucial to us all. He spoke openly about the fact that Hosea 6:6 was not just for Israel at that time. Rather, He talks about His ultimate Peace Plan - giving us a fundamental prophecy about His messianic calling, identity and ministry. I'm going to...
