Purim Tomorrow
Tomorrow evening the feast of Purim starts. Purim is a reminder that Jesus is your table turner.
Purim comes from the book of Esther and is the story of a quick turnaround. There was a law written that was going to destroy the Jewish people and in those days once a law was written it could not be undone. Queen Esther asks the king to write a new law that overrides the first law. This new law turned the tables and put the Jewish people in control.
This event is symbolic of Jesus. He turned the tables by bringing in the New Covenant which overrides the Old. In the Old Testament to be right with God you had to keep a standard that none of us could keep. In the New Testament we can be right with God by simply believing in Jesus.
In the Jewish culture tomorrow is a fast during the daylight hours followed by a feast in the evening. This symbolizes the quick turnaround from fasting to feasting.
Take some time to meditate over the next few days on a couple of concepts....
- Because of Jesus you can now have a relationship with God by simply believing instead of having to do everything perfectly.
- If you have a situation that needs to turn God can turn it in one day and the key is faith.
