The Lamb in the Midst

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Yeshua, our Messiah,

We have just entered the time period given to Israel for the taking of a lamb and keeping it among them for inspection.

From the 10th to the 14th days before the sacrifice and then the eating of this lamb on the Passover meal.

As we look at the Gospels we see how Yeshua rode into Jerusalem as the Lamb in the midst of His people.

For this 4 to 5 days Yeshua remained in Jerusalem under scrutiny, questions and accusations, answering and teaching,
but above all demonstrating His PERFECTION, PURPOSE and PRESENCE among them as the Lamb of God taking away the sins of the world. 'I am here to die for your sins this Pesach as your Messiah.'

May we also remember all that Yeshua taught, suffered and demonstrated over these days as being for us as well.

He became sin that we may take on His sinlessness.

He demonstrated His purity that He may be our perfect sacrifice.

He alone is worthy of our praise.

Looking forward to our Passover Meal together.

Blessings,

John

Moedim Preparations

Spring Festival Preparations For us in the southern hemisphere Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot falls in spring. I might be biased but I think we're pretty blessed to have the new year begin when there's new life and blossom appearing. On the other hand the weather and wind can be a unpredictable but hey, it keeps it real for Sukkot! This year there's the anticipation of celebrating Sukkot and all that it prophetically points to, but there is a longing to fellowship with our Father and bless Him, listen to Him and enjoy His family. Yakira and I have been excited with the very real expectation that for us there will be a freshness and new life so we have been busy making sure the fellowship home and gardens reflect this. So we not only make physical preparations but we prepare our hearts. Yom Teruah has been, Yom Kippur is upon us and Sukkot is before us. Looking forward to seeing you all drive through our gates!

Misty Moments

July 2023 I've had a long hiatus in updating the blog but after some prompting I thought I'd pop up a short video. Yakira and I took some short clips of some of us and we'll do that regularly from now on. Every month our fellowship meets at Hebron to worship, to honour Shabbat, to enjoy each other's company and to maintain and develop the property. Those who can stay overnight so we can have more time to be together. It may seem an odd concept for regular church goers but it's entirely natural for us and something we look forward to. Eating together, hanging out, working and worshipping together all develops relationships, hones personalities and gives the Ruach time to refine and encourage us. This month was a delightful wintery, misty weekend. We are at the end of the Mount Lofty ranges so when the cloud sits low it's like being in your own private little world. Brendan and Neal worked on fixing the house water tank and John was relegated to the tract

Sukkot 2023 - The Winter is Past...

The voice of my lover. Behold, He is coming Leaping over the mountains, springing over the hills My lover is like a gazelle or a young buck among the stags Look! He is standing behind our wall, gazing through the windows Peering through the lattice. In response my lover said to me, "Get yourself up, my darling my pretty one, and come. Come! For behold, the winter is past, the rain is over, it's gone. Blossoms appear in the land and the time of singing has come... Song of Songs 2 * * * What a blessed time we had over Sukkot here at Hebron. A few weeks before the start of the festival I was impacted by the understanding that our Creator and Father anticipates meeting with His children more than we anticipate meeting with Him. His love, His desire to meet with us individually and as a fellowship far surpasses ours, to a degree that it is impossible for us to comprehend. And meet with Him we did. The moed are His. His appointments with people who call on His Name, ob
