Recommended: Discipleship in the gospel

The journey of Israel can be categorized into three main themes. The first is a step by step account of the journey of children n of Israel. The second is drawing from the life of Moses and thirdly the journey of Israel that has a great relevance with the church of Jesus Christ today.
In this research paper we are going to see that the same Lord who brought the children of Israel from the Land of Egypt to Zion, will likewise bring us from spiritual journey of earth to heaven. The Apostle Paul speaks of the journey of Israel in 1 Corinthians 10:11: "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." Paul clearly states that the …show more content…

The Lord Jesus Christ said: "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you) The Passover Lamb symbolizes the Lord Jesus Christ’ sacrifice and the shedding of His Blood on the Cross of Calvary. (1 Cor. 5:7)
The Egyptian bondage represents the person under sin. The children of Israel were slaves in Egypt. Their lives were bitter with hard bondage (Ex. 1:13-14). God called Moses to deliver the Children of Israel from their bondage. Moses prophesied God would call a prophet like unto him whom the people must hear. (Deut. 18:15-19) He was referring to the coming of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Passover Feast corresponds to the New Testament Holy Communion that was instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ the night He was betrayed. (Mt. 26:17-29) The one unleavened bread spiritually signifies the flesh of Christ, and the “fruit of the vine” (grape juice) spiritually signifies the blood of Christ. (1 Cor. 10:16-17) “Then Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” (Jn. 6:53-56) The significance and the essentiality of the Holy Communion can never be

    The background behind the figure contains pelicans and grapes with vines. According to Mary Elizabeth Podles, the significance of the pelican is that the pelican will give its own blood to feed their own children, and the grapes represents the blood of Jesus during Eucharistic ceremony (54). Christians believe that they are consuming the blood of Christ when they drink the wine. Jesus fills his followers with his blood just like the pelicans feed his or her children with their blood.

    The idea of Jesus starts in the first verse: I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields A ragged cup, a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup…" The second verse contains more of the man's thoughts: "I here stories from the chamber, how Christ was born into a manger and like some ragged stranger died upon the cross, and might I say it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade, or at least that's what I'm told." The man is contemplating the fact that Jesus was a carpenter, and he was executed on a wooden cross. The man knows that he is about to be executed in a wooden chair. The man is seemingly making a far-fetched comparison between his death on a wooden chair and Jesus' on a wooden cross. Perhaps, he finds it comforting to know that

    ...his was the reason God gave the commandment not to eat blood, as the blood represents life, and most of all represents the blood of Christ poured out for all sinners. This command was so important that it carried over to the New Testament. This reflects the fourth approach of Principlism, applying an Old Testament law to the New Testament. This law is repeated as Christians are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. It is to be remembered by the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and therefore the Old Testament law still applies to Christians today.

  • Jesus Christian Allusions

    1069 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the crucifixion, not only was Jesus hung on the cross, but two other men were also crucified on both sides of Him. After this image, the reader encounters a thought-provoking line stating, “we came to a tavern with vine-leaves over the lintel” (26). In Exodus, God brings ten plagues to punish the Egyptians. The tenth plague is the killing of all first born sons who have not put the blood of a lamb on the lintel of the door. Although this allusion may seem peculiar, Eliot’s intention with this image is to foreshadow the death of Christ. By saying there were vine-leaves instead of blood over the lintel, and Jesus is God’s son, the reader can understand what is bound to happen. Also, another image given to the reader is that of “pieces of silver” (27). Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus, did so by collecting thirty pieces of silver. Combining these images together gives the reader a timeline of the occurrences leading up to the crucifixion. How does this connect back to the Garden of Eden though? In the beginning of time, God created the world and every living creature that inhabited it free from sin. However, due to the deceitfulness of Satan, Eve ate the forbidden fruit and thus created the downfall of humanity. Even at the beginning of existence, life was required to bring death. It was this death of innocence that brought about the necessity for Jesus’s birth and

    Another parallel between Jesus is the Passover lamb by how their bones were both never broken, The passover lamb is the sacrifice God asked for when the plague of the firstborn was being struck down, and the lamb had to have no broken bones. This is paralleled to Jesus’ crucifixion because when prisoners were crucified the soldiers had to break their bones to kill them faster, but Jesus did not have any since he was already dead. This is shown in Exodus 12:46 when it says, “You shall not break any of its bones”, and connects to John 19:36 saying, “Not a

    Jesus if often referred to as 'The lamb of God'. This can be compared with the Old Testament (Exodus) where an innocent lamb would be sacrificed each year at Passover. Jewish people did this, as they believed that by shedding the blood of an innocent lamb and painting it upon their doors, they would be spared by the angel of death. Jesus is like the lamb that is sacrificed in order to spare the Jews lives.

  • St. Luke's Passover Meal Meaning

    731 Words  | 2 Pages

    St. Luke identifies this last supper of the LORD Jesus with the apostles as a Passover meal that commemorates the deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. But the LORD Jesus reinterprets the significance of the Passover in light of its fulfilment in the kingdom of GOD. The fact that the apostles are alone with the LORD Jesus suggests that this event is of particular significance for the church, of which the apostles are the foundation. It is at this meal that the LORD Jesus institutes the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion, and the Sacrament of Holy Orders or the Sacerdotal Priesthood for the Church. St. Luke reports that the LORD Jesus earnestly desired to eat this Passover meal with His disciples.

  • 1 Corinthians 7

    1237 Words  | 3 Pages

    In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul opens this section in his letter to answering the first of those questions which Corinthians had written to him. From the verse one, it was clear that question had to do with marriage because that place was consisted of a moral dishonesty in their culture which allows all kinds of fornication, adultery, homosexuality, etc. In light of this, some believers had a conception of a marital confusion that, it would be better to be single than facing marriage problems and sexual sin. For that matter, some believers started to divorce their wives in order to be single and more spiritual. In the midst of these problems, Corinthians decided to send a letter to the Apostle Paul in Ephesus requesting his views on this matter. According to MacArthur study Bible, “The letter was probably delivered by Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus.” The whole of the message in chapter seven was written to help the believers in knowing how they can serve God with their circumstance. Especially, how singleness can labor for Christ and marriage believers can glorify God in the marriage.

They were required to bring two loaves made from two-tenths of ephah of the finest flour, baked with yeast. The offerings were to be made of the first fruits of that harvest.

  • The Interpretation Of Biblical Interpretation

    2175 Words  | 5 Pages

    ...u eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you” (John 6:53 NLT), must have been very shocking for them to hear. In this passage John was really just trying to illustrate that Jesus sustains His believers spiritually, just as water and food sustain it physically. “It is His flesh and blood that gives everlasting life to those that chose to receive salvation. For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life” (Leviticus 17:11 NIV). The expression of eating His flesh has been commonly used as a way of saying to put your faith in Christ. No doctrine or practice should ever be contemplated as being Biblical unless it has been summed up and indeed truly includes all what the Scriptures have said about it.
