we are turning the corner towards the key event in HIS*story: resurrection sunday

JESUS represents the first fruit, and the second Adam
The first Adam was tempted and failed Genesis 3: 6: the tree was good, the fruit looked good, and would make one wise: lust of the flesh; lust of the eyes; and pride
JESUS, the second Adam, won the battle Luke 4: 1 -13; did not turn stones into bread; did not desire the Kingdom of this world; and was not prepared to slow down the process to the cross.

In the Bk of Job, we have 3 friends who ask of Job the same 3 questions; but Job did not bite.

PSALM 91: He who dwells in the secret place of the MOST HIGH ( EL SHADDAAI )shall abide under the shadow of the ALMIGHTY. HE is my refuge, and my fortress; MY GOD in whom I trust.

On this sabbath, meditate on the word "TRUST". This is a messianic psalm. It ends with the concept of salvation....the message of the cross!

SONG: Sing praise to GOD, who reigns above, the GOD of all creation,
The GOD of power, the GOD of love, the GOD of our salvation,
With healing balm my soul HE fills, and every faithless murmur stills
to GOD all praise and glory. ........... ( with the longest of Amens you can hold in one breath )
