КАКВО ОЗНАЧАВАТ ИЗРАЗИТЕ  “КРЪВТА НА ИСУС” И “БОЖИЯТА РЪКА”?

КАКВО ОЗНАЧАВАТ ИЗРАЗИТЕ  “КРЪВТА НА ИСУС” И “БОЖИЯТА РЪКА”?

Слушах един от Вашите подкасти, в който говорехте за истинското значение на фразата “кръвта на Исус”. Бихте ли могли да дадете по-подробна информация за тази фраза, както и за израза: “Божията ръка”?

Изразът “Божията ръка” можем да открием в някои истории, като например, когато Бог направил така, че благостта Му да мине пред Мойсей и го покрил с “ръката Си“. Какво всъщност представлява “Божията ръка”? Дали това е Неговият промисъл? Светият дух?

Задавам този въпрос, защото Библията е изпълнена с образи на докосване от Бога и днес много хора използват фразата “Бог докосна сърцето ми” или “това и това се нуждае от Божието докосване”.

Но какво всъщност означава това?

M.

Библията е пълна с всевъзможни символи и образи, предназначени да ни помогнат да разберем по-дълбоки и значими истини. Но една от опасностите при тълкуването на символиката е, даден символ да се превърне в основен фокус на нашето внимание или въз основа на него да си правим окончателни заключения. Чудесен пример е този, който споменахте – “кръвта на Христос”.

В някои среди на християнството “кръвта на Христос” се счита за свещена, мистична или дори магическа. Съществува разбиране, че кръвта на Христос е нещо повече от символ на по-дълбока истина. Вместо това се смята, че тя е реално лечебно или очистващо средство. Използваме изразите, че сме “очистени от кръвта”, “умити в кръвта” и пеем песни за “силата в кръвта”. Но дали наистина има сила в кръвта? Дали кръвта, тоест самите червени кръвни телца на Исус, ни очистват от греха?

Когато Исус казва: „Истина, истина ви казвам, ако не ядете плътта на Човешкия Син, и не пиете кръвта Му, нямате живот в себе си. Който се храни с плътта Ми и пие кръвта Ми, има вечен живот; и Аз ще го възкреся в последния ден. Защото Моята плът е истинска храна, и Моята кръв е истинско питие. Който се храни с Моята плът и Моята кръв, той пребъдва в Мене, и Аз в него. (Йоан 6:53-56), дали Исус е говорил за буквална кръв – за канибализъм? Разбира се, че не! В кръвта няма никаква сила. Силата е в Този, който е пролял кръвта Си!

Кръвта е символ на истината за Бога, която унищожава лъжите и ни прави свободни. Исус, бидейки Бог, е източникът на цялата истина “Аз съм пътят, истината и животът.” (Йоан 14:6). Следователно цялата истина произлиза от Исус. Освен това “животът е в кръвта” (Левит 17:11, 14). Следователно кръвта на Исус представлява и живота на Исус. Така че символиката на поглъщането на кръвта просто означава, че трябва да поглъщаме истината за Бога, разкрита от Исус, която разсейва лъжите и спечелва доверието ни. А след това чрез вяра трябва да приемем Светия Дух и да участваме в живота на Христос, в Неговия съвършен характер, така че вече не ние да живеем, а Христос да живее в нас! Както казва Петър, ние действително ставаме участници в божественото естество. Нашите характери стават като този на Исус, но това не се постига чрез физическата “кръв” на Христос, а чрез това, което Неговата кръв символизира – истината за Бога и Неговия съвършен характер.

Що се отнася до “Божията ръка”, ръката е символ на сила и действие или активност. Следователно “Божията ръка” символизира Божието действие или активната роля на Бога в дадено обстоятелство или в живота на човека.

Гръцката дума за ръка χείρ [cheir /khire/] означава не само част от тялото, но също така и нечия “помощ/съдействие/посредничество”. А когато се прилага за Бога, символизира Неговата мощ, действие и сила. Коренът на думата „хиропрактик“ – човек, който лекува с полагане на ръце, е точно тази гръцка дума за ръка.

Интересно е, че думата, използвана за благодат, както в случая с „Божията благодат“, е тясно свързана с думата „ръка“. Тя е: χάρις [charis /khar-ece/] и се превежда като благоволение или благодат. Вярвам, че Божията благодат е действена и е нещо повече от отношение на прошка, доброта или благоволение. Благодатта е активното действие на Бога с цел спасение и изцеление на Неговата вселена. Така старозаветната “Божия ръка” и новозаветната “благодат” са тясно свързани по смисъл и предават активната роля на Бога в това да служи на Творението си чрез Своята изцелителна любов!

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Testimony 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

Your seminars are still inspiring and changing our lives and we continue to share the principles we have learned from you. Your ministry has changed our lives!

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 75

Thank you so much for everything you do! Because of all these truths, I’m excited to be with Jesus! I always pray everyday, “COME TODAY, JESUS.” Before finding C&R, I was always praying for delays, “NOT TODAY OH GOD. I AM NOT READY.” I just need to share more, talk more bout this truth, so everybody will be excited for Jesus.

J C Shin

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.
