For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
Hebrews 13:11-12
You've heard the expression, "Learning the think outside the box". The whole book of Hebrews is an effort to get those of the Old Law to "think outside the box." To the Old Covenant Jew, everything had been in the box. In the Law of Moses, in the Holy of Holies, in the Temple, in the priestly tribe of Levi, and inside Jerusalem. Jesus needed them to think outside of their box. Jesus went to the cross outside of the city. He was a high priest forever from outside the tribe of Levi. His sacrifice put an end to the worship with sacrifices of bulls and goats. Unless the Jews could learn to think outside their box, they would miss Jesus. All of us have had our thoughts shaped by some sort of box. Sometimes those religious precepts and convictions can cause us to miss Jesus too. May we allow God's Word to lead us out of our box to the cross of Jesus, and into His true will for us

As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, and its place acknowledges it no longer.

Psalm 103:15-16

One time my mother was in a nursing home for rehabilitation after surgery. She loved the flowers we brought her, but she hated to watch them whither and die. It reminded her that our days are like the flowers. We may be beautiful today, but soon we whither and die. I brought her a bouquet of artificial flowers. She really liked having them around, as they reminded her that the beauty of those flowers are like the soul and spirit of man. They never die, they always look great, and like the lovingkindness of God, never fails nor fades. Let's hold on to the lovingkindness of God. With it, we will never really die.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. I Corinthians 13:1

Great teachers are mostly rated by their ability to speak The "silver tongued orators" usually get plenty of praise and a big following. God reminds us that if we speak eloquently without love, it amounts to nothing but noise. To become a teacher, it helps to enunciate properly. Someone once joked that you need fill your mouth with marbles, and begin to speak. Every minute or so, you spit out of marble. Finally, when you've lost all your marbles, you can be a teacher. With no marbles and no love, you can teach, but you are just noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal. God calls on us to speak the truth in love. May we fill our lives with His spirit, fill our minds with His knowledge, and fill our hearts with love. Then motivated by His grace, we will have a message that will bring people to Jesus.

Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself! II Corinthians 12:7

What was this "thorn in the flesh" that was given to Paul to torment him? Was it a weakness, an insult, distress, persecution, difficulty, of what? Whatever it was, Paul prayed that God would remove it from him, but God has a different answer. Instead of removing the thorn, God told him He would use it to perfect His power for the work ahead. Further, the grace that God would give him, would be enough. I'm glad the scripture doesn't tell us exactly what the thorn was for Paul. If it did, I wouldn't be able to apply it to my thorn. We all have a thorn in the flesh, and God's power is sufficient to overcome it. Whatever mine is, God is more. With this in mind, whatever shortcomings I have, I can be confident that He will use them to complete my ministry for Him, and that is enough.

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other You cannot serve God and wealth. Matthew 6:24

Our spiritual choices are not made at Burger King. We can't have it our way. We must choose to serve God, or serve the devil. We must choose to walk in light or darkness. We cannot be both on the narrow way and the broad way. We must love one and hate the other, be devoted to one and despise the other. It is the popular way to choose both masters depending on the circumstances. Sometimes we love and serve God, and other times we want to love and serve the devil. We would never readily admit that we hate God, but when we choose to serve the devil, if fact, we do. Let's make the right choice. Choose the master that will give us eternal ife in heaven, and give God the glory.
