ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
2 Chronicles 4, The Rhythms of Worship
Additional studies: 1 & 2 Chronicles Index
These daily rhythms—incense and light—teach us how to maintain our personal relationship with YHVH, and the health of our inner man. The weekly renewal of the bread of the Presence teaches us to gather on the Sabbath to rest in His presence, and maintain our community relationship with YHVH and with each other in the assembly of the believers.
Psalm 12, Reciprocal Proving
Additional studies: Psalms Book One: 1-41 Index
When men are tested, then the word of God is also tested. How? The man may have mentally assented to the truth of God’s word when life was wonderful, but when the rubber meets the road in a time of trial, he must put the full weight of his life upon the truth of that word. He tests it, like a man putting his weight on a bridge he has not crossed before. When the bridge holds him, he has proved it to be a sturdy structure.
Luke 18, The rich young ruler
Additional studies: Luke Index
The structure forces the elements together. I saw that the B pairs paired, but I couldn’t figure it out at first. I spent some time rearranging things, LOL, until I realized that the structure itself answers the rich young ruler. “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Well, you can try to obey the commandments; you can try to do other things, but at the end of the examination of these things, “Who then can be saved?” Precisely, thus the answer to the rich young ruler’s question: only the death and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua can save a person. It has to be by grace, through faith.
