Context.

Today was really good. My team led worship this morning...I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a train wreck, but it was definitely a struggle today. Oh well, live & learn. We finished up chapter 7 of Pursuit of God with Kal, & had deep discussions about faith. It was good stuff.

Trefor taught Bible Review today out of the first 12 chapters of John. We dig into the context alot, it was actually really awesome. Some of the stuff he was talking about just gave me chills. For example, the way the Passover meal was done--there was a special kind of bread baked specifically for the Passover, & it was broken into sections at the table. One section was to be shared, & one section was placed at the head of the table with a cup of wine to represent the Messiah, that one day He would come & share the meal with them. So when Jesus sat down with His disciples, He took the bread & the wine from the head of the table & said, "This is MY body...This is MY blood." Wow. I wonder if the disciples realized the significance of what He was saying at the time? Or when He would quote Scripture & then say that what He had just spoken was at that moment being fulfilled. Did these people realize that what their entire religion, everything they were used to, was about to be completely turned upside down? Probably not. But wow...imagine if they had. I can't even imagine how those that did believe in Him must have felt upon witnessing those things.

Homegroup tonight...Trefor is going to come & do some teaching on evangelism. Should be good stuff.
