“And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.” – Exodus 34:29-30
Moses was given the unique privilege of one of the most intimate experiences with Almighty God in scripture. God manifests his glory to Moses as he passed by with Moses in the clift of the rock. The effect of this experience was that Moses’ face shown, but he was not even aware of this “afterglow” of God’s glory reflected on his countenance. In like manner, when we experience the presence and the glory of God, it should make an effect on our countenance that is noticeable those around us.

We were blessed with such a great Annual Meeting! God was present from start to finish. The messages were outstanding, being so experiential and relevant but based on bedrock doctrinal principles. The singing was powerful and harmonious. The liberty of the Holy Spirit was evident. We had excellent visitation from sister churches. Also, we enjoyed fellowship together as a church family. It's so great to see our children forming and strengthening friendships that will last a lifetime.

I am anticipating the Lord's Supper this Sunday, reflecting on passages of scripture about the first Communion service in the gospels and also Paul's words about the service in 1 Corinthians. Consider this passage:

Point to consider: If we found an ancient manuscript of a portion of God's word, and this manuscript was considerably different than what we've recognized as God's word throughout the centuries, rather than embracing the new text and altering our Bibles, we would keep our current reading. Why?

“And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives…Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here while I go and pray yonder.” – Matt. 26:30,36
Just hours before his crucifixion for the salvation of God’s people, Jesus went into the garden of Gethsemane to pray unto the Father. Just like so many of the places and events surrounding the death of Jesus Christ, Gethsemane carries profound significance as well. Gethsemane means “oil press”, referring to the olive press that produced olive oil for the Jews, and this garden was located on the mount of Olives. Jesus was pressed and crushed under the weight of our sin to produce the “pure olive oil” that is signifying of our anointed and cleansed standing before God based on Christ’s work. Gethsemane once again points us to the work of Christ in the redemption of his people.
