A Response to a Question on Facebook

I believe, INMO, that the most important aspect was to awaken the American people, who for a couple of decades have looked upon Washington, and it's parasites, as business as usual, and that there was little if anything they could do about it.

It has caused many of the bills before congress to be stalled. The elites have indeed heard us, and not liking what they are hearing are still trying to figure out ways to ram their agenda down our throats. However many Americans are a lot more aware of what's going on.

Even without the so often cited "transparency" (that isn't), Joe Public now veiws the Statists with total mistrust and will pick apart piece by piece anything that will come down the pike.

I think the next direction that is needed for the teaparty is to begin to become the new face of the GOP. THAT is a very difficult task, but not one that is impossible. Once that happens the MSPM, (mainstream propaganda media) will be forced to take notice. Oh, yes we'll be criticized, made fun of, spoken ill of, demonized, however we are beginning to see that whatever they now say, usually turns around and bites them back a lot harder than it does us. Secondly, they become less and less relevant each and every day.

Harden Not Your Hearts
Hebrews 3:16-19

16 For some when they heard, provoked him to
anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by
Moses.
17 But with whom was he displeased forty years?
Was he not displeased with them that sinned, whose
carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom swear he that they should not enter
into his rest, but unto them that obeyed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in, because
of unbelief.

Editor’s thought - As Paul the Evangelist had written we know that the Old Testament was a shadow image, as it were, of what was to come, the Gospel and New Testament. Now this image was a reflection similar to that of a mirror, wherein what we is real, yet only on a two dimensional plane. There is substance, but it is not something we can reach out and touch. However, the New Testament is, as they say “the real deal”. It is our spiritual food from our Creator. Hence when Paul speaks of being unable to enter into the promised land, so too, did he say, that if we chose to not believe, and harden our hearts, through non-belief, neither will one enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Likewise Let Us Be Faithful
Hebrews 3:7-9, 12-15

7 Wherefore, as the holy Ghost saith, Today if
ye shall hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the 1provocation,
according to the day of the temptation in the
wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved me,
and saw my works forty years long.

12 Take heed brethren, lest at any time there be
in any of you an evil heart, and unfaithful, to depart
away from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called
today, lest any of you be hardened through the
deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we
keep sure unto the end that beginning, wherewith
we are upholden,
15 So long as it is said, Today if ye hear his voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

things are worthy love, whatsoever things are

Christ Our Great High Priest
Hebrews 9:11-15

As many of you may have already noticed I will, over the next few weeks, posting the Daily Meditation that will consist of a study of the Book of Hebrews. In keeping with that study, I have temporarily put aside the sermon of John Calvin “Of Prayer” and will in its stead be posting a sermon by Martin Luther.

The reason for the switch is quite simply that Martin Luther touches on a portion of the Book of Hebrews and thusly connects with the current study.

Rest assured that as soon as his sermon is completed here, I will return to the one of John Calvin.

I will only add here that both are most inspiring.

Herein then is presented to you for your growth in Christ is Martin Luther’s sermon


HEBREWS 9:11-15: But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

An understanding of practically all of the Epistle to the Hebrews is necessary before we can hope to make this text clear to ourselves. Briefly, the epistle treats of a twofold priesthood. The former priesthood was a material one, with material adornment, tabernacle, sacrifices and with pardon couched in ritual; material were all its appointments. The new order is a spiritual priesthood, with spiritual adornments, spiritual tabernacle and sacrifices--spiritual in all that pertains to it. Christ, in the exercise of his priestly office, in the sacrifice on the cross, was not adorned with silk and gold and precious stones, but with divine love, wisdom, patience, obedience and all virtues. His adornment was apparent to none but God and possessors, of the Spirit, for it was spiritual.

Christ sacrificed not goats nor calves nor birds; not bread; not blood nor flesh, as did Aaron and his posterity: he offered his own body and blood, and the manner of the sacrifice was spiritual; for it took place through the Holy Spirit, as here stated. Though the body and blood of Christ were visible the same as any other material object, the fact that he offered them as a sacrifice was not apparent. It was not a visible sacrifice, as in the case of offerings at the hands of Aaron. Then the goat or calf, the flesh and blood, were material sacrifices visibly offered, and recognized as sacrifices. But Christ offered himself in the heart before God. His sacrifice was perceptible to no mortal. Therefore, his bodily flesh and blood becomes a spiritual sacrifice. Similarly, we Christians, the posterity of Christ our Aaron, offer up our own bodies (Romans 12:1). And our offering is likewise a spiritual sacrifice, or, as Paul has it, a "reasonable service"; for we make it in spirit, and it is beheld of God alone.

Again, in the new order, the tabernacle or house is spiritual; for it is heaven, or the presence of God. Christ hung upon a cross; he was not offered in a temple. He was offered before the eyes of God, and there he still abides. The cross is an altar in a spiritual sense. The material cross was indeed visible, but none knew it as Christ's altar. Again, his prayer, his sprinkled blood, his burnt incense, were all spiritual, for it was all wrought through his spirit.

The Son Was Faithful
Hebrews 3:1-6

1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the
heavenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high
Priest of our profession Christ Jesus:
2 Who was faithful to him that hath appointed
him, even as Moses was in all his house.
3 For this man is counted worthy of more glory
than Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the
house, hath more honor than the house.
4 For every house is builded of some man, and
he that hath built all things, is God.
5 Now Moses verily was faithful in all his house,
as a servant, for a witness of the things which should
be spoken after.
6 But Christ is as the Son, over his own house,
whose house we are, if we hold fast that confidence
and that rejoicing of that hope unto the end.


Editor’s Thought - I am reminded here of a worship/hymn written by Ron Kenoly

Oh the glory of Your presence
We Your temple
Give You reverence
Come and rise for Your rest
And be blessed by our praise
As we glory in Your embrace
As Your presence
Now fills this place

Christ Became Flesh
Hebrews 2:14 - 18

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers
of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part
with them, that he might destroy through death, him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 And that he might deliver all them, which for fear
of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For he in no sort took on him the Angels’
nature, but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him
to be made like unto his brethren, that he might
be merciful, and a faithful high Priest in things
concerning God, that he might make reconciliation
for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he suffered, and was tempted, he
is able to succor them that are tempted.

Editor’s thought - How often have we, when in the process of prayer, do we say unto Him “Lord you don’t know what I’m going through.”? And yet our Savior’s trials and tribulations put Him well above most everything we can ever experience. So YES indeed He KNOWS, what it is like to be human. He understands because He once WAS as we are now. That is to say He was once flesh.

Bringing Mankind to Salvation
Hebrews 2:10 13


10 For it became him, for whom are all these
things, and by whom are all these things, seeing
that he brought many children unto glory, 4that
he should consecrate the Prince of their salvation
through afflictions.
11 For he that sanctifieth, and they which are
sanctified, are all of one: wherefore he is not ashamed
to call them brethren,
12 1Saying, I will declare thy Name unto my
brethren: in the midst of the Church will I sing
praises to thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And
again, Behold, here am I, and the children which
God hath given me.
