Happy Sabbath and Father's Day! How do you celebrate this day in your home? Is it breakfast in bed? Does your family take you out to dinner? If you are the orchestrator of the Father's day celebration, thanks you. Whatever you do this day, I hope it brings you great joy!
The readings today seem to all remind me of Christ. I know every part of scripture points to Jesus, but when I read these passages this morning, Jesus just seemed to jump out at me. In the Deuteronomy we read about what happens to those accused of a crime. Fast forward to what happened to Jesus. Pilate found him without guilt, yet Pilate punished Jesus with 40 lashes. The greatest punishment a guilty party could be given. Then the Psalm is full of how Jesus responds to my cry for salvation and responds with amazing love. In Isaiah, we see Jesus as the Good News and we respond in song. Later in the chapter we read how Jesus would be beaten and treated as less than a human for me. Finally, in Revelation we read about what a sin free creation will look like and how everyday we will be spending time with Jesus, someone who loved us when we where ugly and dead in our sin. Can you imagine spending time with someone who loves you and you find amazing. That is what I think spending time with Jesus will be like. We will be working with Jesus enjoying Him in the mist of that work. We will be resting with Jesus and enjoying Him as we recline and enjoy food, drink, and entertainment. We will be worshiping Jesus and standing in awe of Him.
Looking forward to that day!

Tomorrow is the first day of summer. So that means I get to shave off my mustache and start reading the New Testament from the beginning. If you do not have a reading partner. Join this blog and we will read this book of love and salvation together.
