Bloodline

Do you think we (as believers) are descendants of the holy Jewish bloodline?? I wonder if since many of us in America are "mutts" if we could have some Jewish blood in us? Maybe THAT determines who we are or what moves us?  Maybe we are gentile versions of them- I mean- we ARE - we are "grafted in" (Romans 11:17-18).... but maybe we have some real droplets of blood tooooo??? Let's play this game (for fun only- because I am obviously being kooky here... we are what GOD makes us and that's all that matters.... Jew or Gentile, if we believe, we are HIS!!) Okay... but game time:

If you were Jewish, which family do you think you'd be in? I think this might take some research. :) Do you think you might be a Levite? Are you from the line of Aaron?? Are you a musician (maybe from family of Asaph, Heman or Jeduthun)? ...or maybe you are a Gatekeeper?? ...or a descendant of one of the kings or prophets or... I dunno... (and I DON'T know what I'm talking about here. I need to talk to a Bible scholar in a bad way about this. It's sooooo interesting! :))

I have had this question rolling around in my head for a weekish now (I've been reading 1 Chronicles if that gives you any inkling of where my mind is) - I've thought that I might be a Levite but today I found myself wondering if maybe I'm a descendant of Moses (or maybe just a gentile version) - (1 Chron 23:14) - BAAAH HA HA HA HA!!! I'm SOOOO PRIDEFUL - I think I'm SOOOOO important that I think I can be from MOSES!! LOL!! :D

BTW- 1 Chronicles is an AWESOME book! Oh, the WHOLE BIBLE is the BEST... but I especially loved chapters 16, 28 & 29. Here are some highlights:

16:8 - Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
16:11- Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him.
16:36 - Praise the LORD, the God of Israel who lives from everlasting to everlasting!
28:9,10 - Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. for the LORD seeks every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you see him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.
28:20 - Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don't be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.
29:11 - Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.
