The third day after a bodily trauma is when inflammation is at its height and fever is often set in. It’s a very common theme and it carries through with the resurrection of Christ which came, as the Bible tells us numerous times, “on the third day.” This is now the fourth time the term “third day” is mentioned in the Bible. Our faith in Him and His work is all-sufficient for us as we’ll see in today’s story and so… May God speak to us through His word today and may His glorious name ever be praised.Ģ5 Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males. Paul calls the requirements of the law “beggarly elements” and “bondage.” Is that what Christ came to do – to give us things which are unsound and which will imprison us? No, He came to free us from the law and its weakness. But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? Galatians 4:8, 9 Text Verse: But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. Nothing else is needed and nothing is to be added to it. I hope what you hear today will help you to understand a little more fully the truth that the work of Jesus is all sufficient for our salvation. Although a tragic story, it is one which was included to show us pictures of things to come. (Explain Colossian 2:11)Ĭircumcision as a rite is fulfilled in Him and this truth is seen in the story about Dinah. However, throughout their history, gentiles joined to them and became a part of this unfolding story.Ībraham was given directions for circumcision for anyone who would join them in the family, but in due time Christ came and fulfilled the law, which included circumcision – a rite which pictured His coming and His work. Jacob became Israel and his family became the covenant people of God. Introduction: God chose Abraham and through him Isaac and then Jacob.
