i came across two rather interesting articles while randomly surfing the net last night.
Jewish Marriage Traditions and New Testament Applications
Understanding the Seven Major Jewish Feasts and their Messianic Significance
incidentally, i have been spending a lot of time in recent weeks thinking about the Jewish-Christian worldview.
the gospel is not about Western ideas of health, wealth and prosperity. the gospel is about the Jewish-Christian conviction that 'life - all life - is meaningful and good, and that evil distorts and disrupts the good and cries out to be set right' (Westerholm, Understanding Paul).
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." - 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" - 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
the old creation which is wasting away has gone, the new creation which is being renewed day by day has come!
