Wear A Ribbon To Show Your Support

​Random thought - I often see people post ribbons for awareness - one colour for fighting this disease, another colour for fighting that disease.

What if, instead, we decided to remember THE ribbon. . .

Number 15:38 KJV "...Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a RIBBAND OF BLUE:..."

These are tzitzit, some of you have seen Jim and I wearing them. They are a reminder of the Commandments of Yahweh, the same ones Yeshua followed and we follow as well.

These tassels appear again in the New Testament: 

Matthew 9:20 - New Heart English Bibble  And look, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;

​What fringe? Yeshua's tassels which would have contained a ribband of blue, as described in Numbers 15.

We ought to use the ribbon Yeshua wore - tassels with a ribband of blue which Yahweh commanded us to wear, the ribbon which the woman with the issue of blood reached out for in the crowd.

Her faith led her to Him, her faith led her to go against the law of the day - she was forbidden to be out and about because she was bleeding, yet she reached out for Him.

She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

Matthew 9:22 YLT And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, 'Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

By the stripes Yeshua bore for us, we ARE HEALED - past tense, it is done (1 Peter 2:24). Our tassels are there to remind us of the commandments we choose to follow as an example of Christ. We want to emulate Him and His true character. They also can remind us of the sacrifice he has given for us, and that our faith has made us whole. 

Praise Yahweh!
