Seven Years
Most Loved Family of God!
Pearls of a Great Price That Jesus Paid All He Had For!
So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel but they seemed like only a few days to him for his love for her. Genesis 29: 20
Jacob chose seven years to work for his uncle to earn the right to marry Rachel.
That his uncle asked Jacob what his wages should be.
And Jacob offered the seven years to work that he get to marry Rachel at the end of them.
I read that and thought, why on earth would you choose that long of a time.
For he could had offered any amount of time or even something else.
But it was God showing us something bigger through Jacob.
For in the Bible, we see that at the 7th year, debts have to be canceled.
Jacob was getting his bride.
That after seven years the debts would be canceled, and he could retrieve his bride.
It was to show us that Jesus had to cancel all our debts, paying them off through the cross, for us to become His bride.
That all people who receive His mercy, His sacrifice of payment for our sinful nature, that we then can become His bride, His people, His intimately connected, never forsaken, never separated, best friend, family, now and forever.
And that like Jacob He is showing us, that though Jesus greatly suffered, His love for us, His joy in gaining us is greater.
May we know that we know that we know Jesus has paid off our debts to our sinful nature, and those who have received Him as Lord as Savior, are now innocent in the sight of God.
May we know that we know that we know He did all this that we have the most intimate beautiful connection to Him, an eternal marriage with Him, reconnected back to our Father, being filled with Their Spirit, the Holy Spirit making us one.
May we know that we know that we know no matter who is or isn’t in our human life today, that we, who have chosen Jesus, have an eternal, never-ending, intimate, inseparable bond of unity, a Oneness of Spirit, heart, and mind, with our Maker, our Savior, our Helper, our Provider, the Lover of our Souls
