Bible Wonders - Guess Who Is The Dinner

Did you ever wonder? Did you ever wonder?

I do. Did you ever wonder? Why the sun always rises, but the stars never fall?

Why dry land is never satisfied by water? And why fire never says, enough? Today's Bible wonders, I would just like to share a thought of maybe you've heard the saying, guess who's coming to dinner? Well, in the case of the Last Supper as a follow up to Easter, I don't know if you've ever thought about this, but guess who is the dinner? As what Jesus did that night, as he broke the bread and offered the wine, was giving them some indication that we would be partaking of him in communion, hopefully as much as possible throughout our lives until he comes back for. So the word that, interestingly, is translated Easter in the King James Version Bible comes from the Passak word, which means Passover. If you look in Acts Chapter 12, I believe it is in the King James Bible, and it says Easter there, it says Passak.

So that Passak word is fascinating because it's the word that we normally would say is Passover. And truly interesting, when you see in Exodus 12 21, where Moses is commanding what should be done, it says take your lamb and he uses the regular translation for lamb, which is a Zadok and an Aleph and a Nun. But then he says, according to your families and kill the Passover, which here he says, kill the Passak, which is the Paschal lamb. In other words, they killed each of them their own Paschal lamb, according to their families. And then we know that they ate those lambs.

And so as they ate those lambs, they took in Jesus himself, right? I mean, if that's the picture that's being drawn, and as we talked about in the episode last week, as we take in that, you know, we can't help but be thankful. Well, if we back into the word Passak, it's interesting to me because the last letter in the word means life.

It's a het. And essentially, it's the idea of us reflecting God's image in marriage to him. The second letter, is a Psalmic, which means this is where we get our marriage, our support. And the first letter is a Pei, which would again be the face of God in the presence. So here we see that life is essentially coming from this marriage to God, which happens by eating him. Literally, which Jesus made mention of when he said that you will eat my flesh and drink my blood. And every time we actually study the word, we take in God. I mean, that's a beautiful thing. So this morning, when I got up and I started looking at these words, and I started getting the illumination that just makes my face smile, I'm going, wow, and that's where my life is coming from.

This is my support, as we literally have an opportunity to eat the word every single day, really every single minute of our lives. Well, the other word that really intrigued me this morning as I was comparing these two words, is the word temptation, which sounds a lot like Passover, only it starts with a nun instead of with a Pei. It sounds like nasa. And it has a similar makeup, but it starts with a letter nun, which means faith or seed. And interestingly, then it has the Psalmic.

And then it has a hei. And so when you take those three letters to put together, it kind of is giving you this sense. And that word means testing, where they tested, the people tested God at Meribah. That was the place that you'll find this word in Hebrew, which is always confusing because you take these wonderful, beautiful things in their sin. And you go, how do these letters become sin?

I always find that more than fascinating as I study them. But what this really means is because a nun means faith. And so it's like you having faith in your support. Rather than in the real foundation. In other words, is your faith in your money? Or is your faith in your marriage? Or is your faith in your work? In other words, I've put my faith in my support is testing God. And so in the Lord's Prayer, when we say that every morning, right, lead us not into temptation. Don't lead us someplace where you're not there, God, where we're building on the wrong foundation. Get our expression. So I wonder if you'll just wonder with me how we can continue to build on the right foundation. Right. So our houses don't fall when the storms come. Something to wonder about today on Bible Wonders.
