How Christ set us free

 Ephesians 2:15 He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations....

LORD Yeshua, You not only ended it; You fulfilled it entirely...obeying it to the letter: You loved the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength (Deut 6:5); You loved your neighbor as yourself (Romans 5:8; John10:11; 15:12-13); You circumcised your heart, not only your body (Deut 10:16); you fed the poor (Matt15:13-21), took care of the widow and orphan (Luke 7:11-17) and set the captive free (Luke 8:26-39); you honored the Law (John8:1-11)..the prophets (Luke4;16-21) and every ordained festival- knowing full well that every one of them pointed to You (Luke22:7-20). You satisfied the commandments to the letter - every jot and tittle (Matt5:17-18)....And were that not enough, you then took the judgement - the punishment, for every one of us that could not...

so that in You we can now live, move and have our being (Acts 17:28). You became one of us (Matt3:14-15)...to save us (Matt1:21). We are no longer captive to this world that is perishing...We are free! Thank you Jesus 💞

(“Shekhinah”  - literally means “dwelling” The Glory of God with man.) A walk through… As we enter in at the east end (just as Jesus came into Jerusalem from the East gate…and will come again the same Way) we come face to face with an imposing altar: Read Exodus 27:1-7.   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2027%3A1-7&version=ESV This is the first place you are confronted with when you enter in…it is so noticeable you cannot avoid it. It is an appalling p...
