Unfiltered Response


'been thinking about the "unfiltered" logo. The human body stripped down to it's core. Our sturdy frame of bones is what holds us up. Bones were significant in the Jewish faith. Woman was made from a rib, Joseph's bones wern't brought to the promised land, Samson fought of hundreds with a jawbone, and Ezekial and his valley of bones. Jesus had the ultimate example. Not one of his bones were broken during his ordeal on the cross. Specifically his femur was not broken by the centurion who ended the life of the 2 thieves on the cross. The femur was a symbol of a covenant. Abraham's servant swore to him on that same bone. This preservation of Jesus's thigh bone showed that even though he bared the weight of God the father never completely broken his promise to His son. This promise was that though one man's  flesh that was torn on the cross all man could have a home one day in heaven. Brothers and sisters rest assured that your connection to the father is as solid as the thickest bone in your body. Yes these bones may splinter and crack, but they are never beyond repair. Next time your flesh is weak when you feel as though you are falling a part, hold firm on to the most solid part of your body, and rejoice knowing that this firmness shows God steadfast-love.

Psalm 35:10 (ESV)
All my bones shall say, "O Lord, who is like you, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, the poor and needy from him who robs him?"

Psalm 34:20 (ESV)
He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.
