THE VACATION JESUS TOOK

AVAILABLE IN EBOOK FORMAT

NETTIE-ISM: Yeshua never took a vacation, nor did the Apostles.
Matthew 12:40 (KJV)

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 

We can never work as hard as Yeshua yet we give ourselves treats as if we deserve them. We take breaks, we look for benefits and blessings as if by virtue of our existence we are entitled to them.

Regular church attendance and financial giving are indicative of being worthy of the good things in life. The fact that we confessed “Jesus is Lord” and was fully immersed in water proves that we are Christians in good standing.

All of these things we do because we can but we deserve nothing. We cannot earn anything, there is not enough penitence. BUT GOD!

ISAIAH 53:4-9 THE VOICE
Yet it was our suffering he carried, our pain and distress, our sick-to-the-soul-ness. We just figured that God had rejected him, that God was the reason he hurt so badly. But he was hurt because of us; he suffered so. Our wrongdoing wounded and crushed him. He endured the breaking that made us whole. The injuries he suffered became our healing. We all have wandered off, like shepherdless sheep, scattered by our aimless striving and endless pursuits; The Eternal One laid on him, this silent sufferer,    the sins of us all.
And in the face of such oppression and suffering—silence. Not a word of protest, not a finger raised to stop it. Like a sheep to a shearing, like a lamb to be slaughtered, he went—oh so quietly, oh so willingly. Oppressed and condemned, he was taken away. From this generation, who was there to complain? Who was there to cry “Foul”? He was, after all, cut off from the land of the living, smacked and struck, not on his account,    because of how my people (my people!) disregarded the lines between right and wrong. They snuffed out his life. And when he was dead, he was buried with the disgraced in borrowed space (among the rich), even though he did no wrong by word or deed.

When Yeshua went away for a few days it was to help others not Himself, it was to redeem the world.

Vacations are great, if you can take one that is truly wonderful. The real blessing: we are not getting what we deserve but what He gave.

JOHN 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
