Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I am writing this out while my heart is still pounding from tonight.\u00a0 I love what Damien said about the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread both being a shadow of the sacrifice of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have to start at the beginning of this testimony.\u00a0 Jesus has been talking in the meetings lately.\u00a0 One thing that has been said over and over is to keep your mind on Jesus and what he has done for us, and we will bubble up to the top and be who we are supposed to be.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The other day I asked Jesus to stir my heart and help me just be so full of zeal that I cannot do anything but think of him.\u00a0 That is my prayer, and I even prayed it on the way to the meeting.\u00a0 I thought maybe he would use a song or something you would preach on tonight.\u00a0 I never thought He would stir me up with Leviticus!<\/span><\/p>\n

Funny thing is, I have always loved Leviticus because I love seeing the shadows of Jesus and the truth.\u00a0 So it makes perfect sense Jesus would give my heart a stir with Leviticus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have always had a question in my heart about fellowship.\u00a0 I can’t even explain it.\u00a0 I just stayed worried about if others feel fellowship with me.\u00a0 And the more I thought about it, the stranger and more apart I felt.\u00a0 It isn’t\u00a0 a mind thing\u2014it is a heart thing!<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, when Damien pointed out tonight that Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread are actually, together, part of the sacrifice of Christ\u2014part of that beautiful shadow of what Jesus did, part of the greatest love story we can know\u2014it hit my heart.\u00a0 When Damien explained that part of the shadow was eating the bread, having fellowship, it stirred my heart.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In my heart, Passover was the shadow of what Jesus did for us.\u00a0 We did not play a part in that.\u00a0 But the other part of that Passover is that we are supposed to eat.\u00a0 And that is fellowship.\u00a0 That is part of the sacrifice of Christ.\u00a0 The Passover didn’t stop at the blood being put on our hearts.\u00a0 The other part is that we are to eat of the fellowship of the body!\u00a0 It did something in my heart tonight to see that part of the shadow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I think Damien started tonight by saying there was an open window for him to tell this.\u00a0 I feel like Jesus opened a window for me to crawl through.\u00a0 I had to write out how this feels while my heart is stirred.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love how Jesus does things.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beth<\/span><\/p>\n
