3 Theological Ideas I'm Obsessed with

[@amyk6403]

If I had to think of a symbol that encompasses these ideas, it would have to be *Bread.* (Maybe even *unleavened bread * specifically) Very random musings: * Following "Bread" through redemptive history and the Gospels... 1. Only priests have access to the Panim 2. David dabbles with the day-old Panim 3. 800 years later, the disciples are eating bread in the presence of God. So... Panim/Bread of the Presence -vs- The Last Supper *vis-a-vis* sacred space and access to the presence of God (I am also annoyed when people say 'vis a vis')😂😂😂 * "They ate, and they were satisfied." Loaves and fishes = the teaching of Christ = the Word of God ( Eat this scroll!) * "Turn these stones into Bread" vs. Jesus's answer... as Jesus 'dying to self' + subsistence (satisfaction) in the word of God - similiar idea to "whoever drinks my living water will never thirst" * Beware the yeast of the Pharisees: It elevates itself. It puffs up, as hypocrisy is wont to do. It breeds dissatisfaction b/c the oral law only convicts, it doesn't transform. * Jesus had a lot to say around food and he enjoyed food in fellowship. The Man of the Shroud, which I believe to be authentic, is 6 ft 2" tall and muscular. Huge for the day. Well-nourished. He even seemed to get "hangry," at times. You have to laugh at how the disciples scurried into town, bumbling and clueless, in order to get food. I don't think we should minimize it's importance as a metaphor. * Bless his heart, Paul was a stoic! Satisfied with his dissatisfaction. I imagine that he was as thin as a rail, sickly! I don't think there is one narrative example of him eating anything. He did seem to have a decent work-ethic, though. Work brings satisfaction, and Paul worked his a*s off!

Thanks brother. I cannot call myself obsessed with these themes because some my challenges with my walk with Christ are apathy and distraction 😂. However, the themes of dying to one self and pursuit of the presence of God are two of my focal points too. God bless!

Thanks. Now I'm obsessed! 😊

I would love to hear an update on these topics. Especially 'satisfaction. '

[@revchadbrooks]

Yeah, I was taking more notes on satisfaction this morning. It's certainly a thing.

I converted to Christianity out of the blue when I was 19 and had the call of ministry the same year, attented university for two years and worked under my pastor in almost an associate kind of way. I abruptly left it all and then spent the next ten years or so in the wilderness. Last year I felt the calling again and found your channel and I just wanted to tell you that your channel and your videos were and are a huge part of how I've been pulled out of the wilderness and finding myself in Christ again, and obeying my calling. I am in the trenches still but it is people like you that truly remind me that my calling and my Christ is working in me and for good.

Also, the sharing of your messy desk and messy office spoke some sort of gospel to my heart too, lol thank you, I am the same way

[@revchadbrooks]

Messy offices are the best offices!
