Time Reversal

The Word of God holds a collection of interesting accounts written by more than 40 different authors. If you've read it long enough, you'd probably have discovered the unusual writing style (which explains why I still have difficulty with the Chinese version). Let me quote you an example of smth unusual:

When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.

When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

"He took up our infirmities
and carried our diseases."
(Matt 8:14-17)


What I notice here is Jesus healing people, and an out-of-place remark that says he took up our infirmities & carried our diseases. How does healing the people lead to fulfilment of some prophecy, esp when we don't see Jesus exchanging his health with the sickness of the people right on spot? To me, that's exactly what that last verse mean: "Jesus exchanged his health with our sickness - thus taking up our infirmities and 'carrying our diseases' ". He should get sick on the spot (or demon-possessed), but he didn't....

So when exactly did he take up our infirmity and our diseases? It is after he has healed those diseases - at the point of crucifixion. (I'm gettin irritated with typing cuz for some reason I can't undo my typing properly).. and the last verse had to be mentioned way before he took up our infirmity and our sickness - prophecy indeed.

So what's the point I'm trying to make?

I just want to tell you I have as much trouble reading the Bible as you. So find a way to enjoy it.

lol..my fav ps album is probably one of the oldest if not the oldest: Open Up The Gates
with the song "open up the gates" (not surprising issit?) as the 1st song.

special recommendation goes to the song "Boom" from their latest album saviour of the world.
its style is super similar to that of "jump around" and u'll easily mistake it as a P.O.D song for those who know that band.

and "all im living for" and "could i ever" are probably 2 songs that are the most emotionally charged.

Drawing Near (by roar)

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you" -James 4:8

Hi, the word today is this short and simple - just draw near to God. James gave us a very simple method for growing in God - that is, to draw near to Him. Let's not be so caught up by the things around us. Let's take our hearts and offer it to God again, saying, "Lord, I'm coming near to you. Come near to me. Let me feel your presence." Let's enter the holy of Holies to meet him face-to-face with this limited time we have.

Glory to God

In the Highest forever

Amen
