Purple in the Bible

 Since we know that colors can be  symbolic and the purple is often a symbol for royalty, wealthy, or  status, what can it possibly mean in the Biblical text? In Mark 15:16,  Roman soldiers clothed Jesus in purple before beating him and crucifying  him. In this sense, they were mocking his supposed royalty. Although  they were clearly doing this as a mockery (since he was considered the  King of the Jews), it’s also a bit ironic since Jesus was, in fact,  royalty. 

"5 FINGERS PRAYER VIGIL" FOR​ A SEASON OF LENT, BUT CAN BE USED ANYTIME

 

During  this season of Lent, let’s do a new thing, A FIVE FINGER “PRAYER VIGIL”  at home for the next 40  days using the directions below. We’ll be  Praying and fasting from our regular daily routine, while showing Love  for Christ  who died on the Cross  so that mankind could be save.

  

                     Pray for one another. —James 5:16

1.Your  thumb is the finger that is closest to you. Start by praying for the  people in your life who are closest to you. Pray for your family,  friends, parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles,  cousins, and closest friends (Philippians 1:3-5).

 2.The finger  next to your thumb is the index finger. We use this finger for pointing.  Pray for the people who point you in the right direction. Pray for your  parents, teachers, preachers, coaches, tutors, priests, and anyone else  who teaches you. (1 Thessalonians 5:25).

3.The next finger is  the tallest. It reminds you to pray for those in authority over  you—national and local leaders, and your supervisor at work. (1 Timothy  2:1-2).

4.Our ring finger is our weakest finger. We can’t  normally move it without the help of our other fingers. For this finger,  pray for the sick who need help and healing. Pray for the poor and  suffering who need God’s comfort and help too.  (James 5:13-16).

5.  Finally, for the smallest finger of all, pray for yourself. Jesus  taught us to be humble so we pray for ourselves last. Place your  greatest needs before God in prayer. (Philippians 4:6,19).

Whatever method you use, just talk with Jesus. He wants to hear what’s on your heart.
