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

Unleavened Bread - 2024

For this small part of Yeshua's body, Healing to the Nations in South Australia, the last few months, including the past week of Pesach, has been ....well, different and unusual. It has truly been a period of time where Father YHVH has been rooting and grounding us in His love, word and truth. We gathered together at Hebron to keep the Pesach memorial and there was a stripping back. No traditions, no add-ons, just Yeshua's Pesach and Yeshua's words. The following day, the first day of Unleavened Bread, the Father's kindness and uncompromising truth was manifested amongst us. It was truly a blessed time together. Traditionally the week of unleavened bread will have an emphasis of dealing with the carnal ego, which is very apt, or the leaven of the pharisees, which is also very apt. However, Paul emphasised that sin that is tolerated is also leaven that must be exposed and dealt with to ensure that the body of Yeshua is kadosh, which was emphasise...

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements. The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it. There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years. Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon. We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later. Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter. Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

Shalom with Messiah

In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot. As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills. One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship. It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths. And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together. We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
