Get Wisdom #29

   Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom) (for skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal thing); and with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  1Cor.1:30(Amp) says, "But it is from Him (God) that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God." If you've received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you have Wisdom. Paul prays for the Church in Col.1:9(Amp), saying, "For this reason (because of their love for God and for one another) we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make (special) request for you (asking) that you may be filled with the full (deep,clear) knowledge of His will in all (Spiritual Wisdom), in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and in understanding and discernment of Spiritual things."

  These scriptures (starting with the top one) make it clear that it's God will for us to understand and discern His Word, by and through the Word of the Holy Spirit. We already have Wisdom in Jesus, but we seemingly lack understanding, discernment, interpretation and comprehension. So many things in our Christian walk come by tradition, making God's Word of no effect. Jesus scolds the Pharisees about keeping the feast days and Holy days like the scripture says, but they stopped putting faith in what they were doing. They lost the Truth in the Word and commandments. Like those,we, the Gentile Church have made traditions more important than what God's Word says.

  God instructs Moses in Lev.16-17 how to make sin offerings for the people of Israel. They were to choose two goats and present them before the Lord. One goat carried the sins of the people and was cast out into the "land of forgetfulness and separation." Jesus was made to be sin with our sins and was in the belly of the earth for three days. Jesus' Body hung on the cross. Lev.17:11(Amp) says, "For the life (the soul) is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life which it represents."

  Jesus served communion at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called The Passover. The Spirit of Jesus became sin with our sins and was released into the Abyss. The Body of Jesus poured out His Blood for the Redemption of our souls, our flesh and blood bodies here on earth. We were born-again by His Spirit and we're redeemed and kept clean by His Blood, in this earth. The two goats from Leviticus, have become One Sacrifice through Jesus. The sin of Adam, which contaminated all of mankind, was taken by Jesus into the torment and paid for Adam's sin. The protection and deliverance of our yet carnal bodies, is redeemed by the Life of Jesus' Blood.

  Paul wrote to Church about the Feast of the Unleavened Bread (which is called The Passover), saying in 1Cor.5:7(Amp), "Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated (as you are), for Christ, our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed." You might ask, "What does that have to do with us?" Paul answers that in 1Cor.11:27-30(Amp), saying, "For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are representing and signifying and proclaiming the fact of the Lord's death until He comes again, So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy of Him, will be guilty of (profaning and sinning against the Body and the Blood of the Lord). Let a man thoroughly examine himself, when he has done so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup; For anyone who eats and drinks without discriminating and recognizing with due appreciate and recognizing with due appreciation that it is Christ's Body, eats and drinks a sentence (a verdict of judgement) upon himself. This (careless and unworthy participation) is the reason many of you are weak and sickly, and quite enough of you have fallen into the sleep of death."

  Now, let's look again at what Paul said in 1Cor.5:8(Amp), where he says, "Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the Unleavened Bread of purity (nobility and honor) and sincerity and unadulterated Truth." If we received the bread and cup of communion while harboring unforgiveness, anger, hatred and contempt in our hearts against a brother/sister, then we must give it to God, ask forgiveness and put these things under the Blood, before we receive it. The Blood of our Passover Lamb will cleanse us from these things and bring healing. 

  1John1:7(Amp) says, "But if we really are living and walking in the Light, as He Himself is in the Light, we have (true unbroken) fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt, (keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations)."

  Let's put faith in His Redemption Blood for our flesh and blood bodies.
