Beside The Burn Join us during the “Twelve Days Of Christmas” as we explore a potential meaning behind the strange lyrics of the song, and discover the gifts that God has for those who love him.
The Bronze Serpent Today on Beside The Burn we consider Jesus being lifted up on the cross like the bronze Serpent was lifted up by Moses in the Wilderness. In John 3:9–15, Nicodemus, a “master of Israel,” receives a remedy for his troubled soul from the Master Physician. The Son of God gives this night-disciple an eye to behold the Messiah lifted up on the cross of suffering and death. To do this, Jesus brings in vital imagery of the bronze serpent from Numbers 21:7–9 to reframe Nicodemus’s knowledge of the Torah. In so doing, he makes us lift up our heads as well. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/look-live-christ-true-bronze-serpent/ 
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to everyone who reads the Blog each day. Thank you to everyone who has kept in touch through reading and listening and watching bits of the content each day on the Blog. This has been an unexpected way to stick together during the last 9 months may you all know God’s Blessing on this special day.
Beside The Burn
Join us during Advent as we realise, “Christmas Is Different - Jesus Is Better”. Each day we delve into the book of Hebrews, fix our eyes on Jesus and realise that He is better than everything else. Better than the worst things of this year, but also better than the best things we have ever experienced. Each day there is a short video based on a passage from Hebrews. By Christmas Day we will have read through the whole book of Hebrews, but more importantly we will have looked to Jesus each day and discovered that “Jesus is Better!”
