Passover-First Fruits-Easter

On this ‘Feast of First Fruits’
A burnt and grain offering
Foreshadowing Messiah
And His people, following.

Pesach-Passover…Exodus

How God frees from bondage
All those, captive to sin
Jesus’ blood, our atonement
To cleanse of leaven, within.

My People

Though God has chastised
They faced every threat
But His Covenant people
He does not forget.

My Jewish Background

Grew up with tradition
Lived under the Law
Rabbinical Judaism, Yiddish
Was the life that I saw.

Messianic Judaism                                        

Reconciled thro’ His death
To God, in one body
Fulfilling God’s Law
A new covenant, to embody.
                                   

Israel’s Idolatry

So, pause and reflect
Does God fill your heart
Or have you hidden idols
That ensnare you, in part?

Israel’s Call to Repent

God laments for His people
Have turned from His ways
Are spurning their Maker
Have rebelled, disobey.

Gold Lampstands

In the Tabernacle, then Temple
The LORD God, did instruct
That light shine within
A gold lampstand, construct.

God’s Special Treasure                                          

O Hallelujah, thro’ Messiah
All our sins washed away
With Him died, and we rise
His special treasure, every day.

God’s Righteousness

While Gentiles sought not
God and His holiness
But now have attained
By faith, His righteousness.
