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 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

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 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

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.

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Testimony 9

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia
