ELTB Summary [∞]

SUMMARY

All these animals are on the stage and in the play. The actors had to follow the rules for eating or not eating them. We may eat them all, while we remember what they teach.

• When we eat beef, lamb, or deer, we remember to meditate on God's word. We let it change they way we live.
• If we eat a camel, we remember not to judge, because God is the loving judge.
• Should we eat a coney, we would remember to share about God's love for us through the cross.
• Barbecued rabbit would reminds us to dedicate ourselves to God and not mix up things in our worship.
• Bacon.... mmm bacon.... We look for truth and humility in our teachers.
• Fried fish - Seek God in his word and let him change our lives.

As students, we learn to be like the good teachers, and to avoid being like the bad ones. The best and ultimate teacher is Jesus Christ, who meditated on God's word. He was the loving judge on the cross. His sole purpose was devotion to the Father. So that we might know the Father, he had the humility and love to die for our sake.

When Jesus told us to eat his body, it is like the riddle of the animals. It is a riddle to remind us to learn of his love shown to us on the cross.
