First day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread — Remembering the Father

A man with a contemplative expression, wearing a green button-up shirt and a straw hat, rests his chin on his hand against an olive green background. Text beside him reads: "Food for Thought: First day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread — Remembering the Father." The bottom right corner displays the website "hallel.info" with a stylized Hebrew letter.

We know that Yeshua loves us and we love Yeshua. Sometimes God the Father is left out of the loop of affection. We forget the fact that everything Yeshua ever did was because of His Father. We don’t think about the fact that God loves us even more. Yeshua did nothing that was not approved by the Father. God has set aside this time as a time of protection and sanctification. He gives us His sincerity and His truth. We don’t become unleavened because of us but because of Him.

Richard also presents his views on the role of Yeshua in Creation and the identity of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 4:1-31 — Boldness in the name of God’s salvation, Yeshua the Messiah

A digitally illustrated scene depicting Peter and John boldly addressing the Sanhedrin, surrounded by a crowd of elders and teachers of the law in ancient Jerusalem. The expressions and gestures suggest intense discussion and confrontation. The setting is a stone chamber with scrolls in the background. Overlaid text reads: "Boldness in the name of God's salvation, Yeshua the Messiah – Acts 4." The image is branded with the hallel.info logo in the bottom right corner.

On the day after Shavuot (Pentecost), the priesthood in God’s temple are on trial, even as they put Peter and John on trial, as to whether they will cling to their presuppositions about God — that He created then vacated — or submit to the massive displays of God’s power in His house of prayer testifying to the reality that Yeshua is God’s Messiah.

What ‘crop’ is God harvesting from your life?

Pentecost is described in the Bible first as a celebration of the wheat harvest. Then the timing of it coincides with God’s giving of His Torah at Sinai. Then it is connected with the giving of God’s Spirit to the first believers of Messiah Yeshua. How are all of lessons connected?
