Yom Kipper~Eve

I am a Christian.

I am also a Jew.

I am a Messianic Jew in an Interfaith Marriage - Holland and I hold differing views on certain topics.

But above all, I am a Messianic Christian who believes Yeshua is the Messiah - Son of the Most High God, Savior of my soul, Redeemer and Deliverer; without the atoning blood of Yeshua, there is no salvation: on this we agree … and we agree to disagree on hot topics.

When the sun sets tonight, Yom Kippur begins.

Yom Kippur is also known as the Day of Atonement, and it is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. It's central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe Yom Kippur with a day-long fast, confession, and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yet, the Hebrew Scriptures tell us that there is no atonement apart from the shedding of blood (Lev. 17:11). Without a temple, the sacrifices required by the Mosaic Law cannot be offered.

 

But Elohim has provided the final atonement in His Son, the Jewish Messiah, who has become our one and only atoning sacrifice (John the Baptist identifies Yeshua as Elohim's Son: John 1:34; the 12 Jewish Apostles recognized Yeshua is our blood atonement for our sins: Hebrews 10:12-14).

Listen to Dr. Fruchtenbaum explain the meaning of Yom Kippur from a Messianic viewpoint (I, personally, have met and sat under his teaching - it's solid Scripture based teaching), and pray for your unsaved Jewish friends and relatives to recognize God's perfect sacrifice during this holy season :-)

SICK DAY

I have been under the weather for a few days, now.

I woke up in a sweat this afternoon - so, I think the worst is over, and I'm on the mend.

But as a precautionary measure, I am avoiding close interactions with everyone except my husband … who still insists on getting close to me saying, "A kiss and a cuddle with you is worth risking a sneeze or two" ;-)

Makings of a healthy Toddy; the alcohol will clear mucus by dilating blood vessels in the upper body. Steam from the hot water will also help to clear congestion. Whiskey causes drowsiness, helping you to get more rest.

I had kept Holland up most of the night with coughing, sniffling's, and constant movement; so he took a short nap when I woke up.

While he napped, I finished up a current project … and worked on a new one :-)

Finished a 2-tone dishrag.

Made a hot mat coaster for my mug; ch 2 & work in rounds (inc every few sts to make a smooth circle shape); end 40 sc & trim as desired.

Happy with the results ;-)

It's still raining steadily here, so I'm thinking I'll be turning in early again tonight - with a red wine toddy, and reading a book until I drift off.
