We finished our lent calendar last night. Down to Revelation in our audio Bible thing. Kid's Easter Program tonight.
We did our calendar a little differently this year, besides just the "finishing the forty days early". We ended with Jesus in the temple...answering questions like "What is the greatest commandment?" and commenting on the widow's mite. I guess these were the last "public" thoughts from Him as far as what He wanted to talk about. Then the Passover, which I guess by our calendar would be tonight. The betrayal is tonight, too. And Peter's denial. The prayers in the garden...sigh.
As we were listening to our Bible last night, these verses were read... (Hebrews 10:28-30)
28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"[a] and again, "The Lord will judge his people."
And I've been thinking about it.
"Treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him..."
Wonder what that really means...does it mean
thought about it, but rejected Jesus?
treated His death as no big deal at some point?
gone on (or back to some level of) sinning?
I know that there are times when I have not been as committed to my growth as a believer as I think I am today...times when I have allowed my sins to have precedence over spiritual things...maybe I was treating as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified me. Maybe I was trampling the Son of God underfoot.
That picture makes me cringe...
Anyway, it was interesting to me that our listening last night had that in there and that today is the anniversary of people letting down our Lord right and left.
