“The YOU in Me”
Exceptional
We are fifty three days from the 2016. Sixteen is significant number in the Hebrew language. The number sixteen is symbolic of love and loving. Christians are to become perfected in God's love. The number 8 in the Bible represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man's true 'born again' event when he is resurrected from the dead into eternal life, and 8+8= 16 Like the Old Testament Passover lamb, Jesus was selected as the Lamb to take away man's sins on the Hebrew day of Nisan 10. He was crucified on Nisan 14. His resurrection occurred, exactly as he stated, three days and three nights after he was buried, which was at the end of the weekly Sabbath day that fell on Nisan 17 (seventeen symbolizes victory). Nisan 17 was also the eighth day, counting inclusively, from the time Christ was selected as man's sacrificial Lamb. All this bears record of Jesus' perfect sacrifice and His complete victory over death. This duality of true love is represented by 8 + 8 = 16. What does this have to do with 2016 and LOVE? In this series we will learn that the Love of Jesus is HIM in us! We are called to end 2015 strong and start 2016 routed and grounded in LOVE of Jesus. Godly love is willing to bear and endure all things, and to hope for and believe the best. This greatest of all spiritual gifts will never EVER fail (1Corinthians 13:4 - 8)!
