Little owl
Little owl [∞]
The Hebrew word for ‘owl’ means ‘cup’. Perhaps Adam saw an owl nesting in a hole in a tree and named him ‘cup’ since it looked like he was sitting in a cup. The Hebrew word for ‘cup’ means ‘the Son of God revealed by the cross’. The cup symbolizes the will of God for Jesus to die on the cross. That day was a great day and terrible day.
It was a great day because God chose to forgive men and dwell with us. But it was a terrible day because Christ, God in flesh, suffered and died at the hands of the men he came to save. [1] The cup is a mixture of judgement and love; it is unclean as the other mixtures. We are not to mix a teaching of love and holiness.
If we see a brother do something wrong and not get punished, we don’t think “Oh, what wonderful forgiveness.” We think, “It’s not fair that he got away with it.” If we get caught and get punished, we don’t think, “I sure deserved this!” we think, “I deserve to be forgiven!”. We are just all mixed up.
Only Christ could explain holiness and love properly on the cross.
