What Did Christ's House Look Like?

Christ's Home decor might not seem important, but it is. How do you think Yeshua decorated?

When I read about ancient Rome or Greece, I can't help but compare American pop culture with what they saw as acceptable. I don't want to live in ancient Rome. What does the inside of your house look like? What is the focus? What are the pictures of?

If someone came into your house, what would they think you worship? What would be seen as being the most important to you? For example, how big is your TV, or how much money have you put into decorations, furniture, or your movie collection? What we see and listen to shapes what we think about and how we think.

Before company comes over, there is usually a mad dash to get the rooms they will see in top shape. The bathrooms are scrubbed, extra toiletries are put in easy reach, floors are vacuumed, and seating is discussed and arranged. We all want to make a good impression and make our guests feel comfortable.

Do the permanent part of your decorations look like what Christ had? 1 John 2: 6 reads, "whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked."

As we enter the 10 days of awe, it is time to redecorate. Fall Feasts are about reminding us that Christ is coming back, and let us make sure he is comfortable.

Romans 5: 1 "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

We must be aware that the redecorating that we do should be due to the fact that we want to please God. We should want to not sin and show God that we love him. Christ said in John 14: 15, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." When Christ has come into our lives we are changed. Our wicked ways, our wicked habits, should be changed. Instead of getting paid death for our wages, we should have the fruits of the Spirit that are in us.

Galatians 5: 22-25 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit."

No way to decorate our lives correctly without faith in Christ.
