The Measure of our Peace with God Revealed...Every person who believes and belongs to Christ this measure fits.....deno.
........The measure of the punishment and the cost for our sins and for the NEW COVENANT (for our covenant of peace with God to be established) we measure fully at the Cross of Christ. We measure the punishment it took for us to have peace with God by looking at the shredding of Christ flesh, and in his bodies bruises and wounds for our transgressions and by his death by way of the cross.
........The scriptures in Isaiah 52/53/54/55 reveals Christ and him crucified in his punishment for our peace to be established with God, it reveals that Jesus was marred more than any man after he was afflicted with that enormous punishment. It even says he was disfigured to the point that he became unrecognizable as a man, now that is a great punishment.
.......No wonder Christ looking into that Cup that he was born in flesh to drink, no wonder he cried to the Father that it might be removed. All that cup was full of was bitterness to more bitterness (The bitter herbs of a Passover celebration). What a price Jesus was going to pay for us to have a relationship of Peace with God. We image this punishment measure, we see it and we all agree and give a hearty amen to the fact that that punishment was extreme by seeing Messiah as the prophet Isaiah foretold so shredded, disfigured, more marred than any man hanging there nailed to the Cross suffering unto death for our sins punishment so that we would not have to.
......But we must not stop there at the sight of the measure of that great punishment. We must also ask the question of how great is this measure of peace with God that we now have which Jesus obtain FOR US thru his manifold sufferings, pains, discomforts and travails on the Cross? There has to exist a way to measure how great this peace with God is that we have thru the sufferings of Christ. We know none of his suffering were done in vain. We know that all of it had redemption obtaining purpose FOR PEACE, FOR SALVATION and for OUR PEACE WITH GOD..
......Well, we see the measure of the PEACE OFFERING looking at Christ on the Cross shredded, nailed and then dead; and we also must by only LOOKING AT CHRIST in all things as the measure, are given the measure of our New Covenant Life and Peace with God by looking at the risen MAN Jesus Christ seated in the Throne of God at the Fathers right side. The Lamb of our Peace Offering, the man Jesus Christ our peace with God shows us himself HOW GREAT the punishment for our peace with God was thru the blood of His own cross and it is ALSO Jesus Himself that shows us the measure of OUR OBTAINED PEACE WITH GOD for He was the one that obtained it FOR US.
......Folks our Peace with God in the NEW COVENANT is revealed and is Seen BY THE SIGHT OF Jesus SEATED WITH THE FATHER IN THE THRONE OF GOD. You could never sit with the Almighty in His Throne unless you had the highest level of peace with God that could ever exist...That is HOW GREAT our our our NEW COVENANT PEACE WITH GOD IS. Jesus went to the Cross to accomplish for us PEACE WITH GOD and Jesus sat down in the Throne of God as a man to show us just how great that peace is.
......Our peace with God price and punishment is fully revealed and seen and is measured by Christ and so is the PEACE with God he obtained FOR US is seen and revealed and is measure to us by Christ. One given sight is awful in the fact that Jesus was marred more than any man on that Cross. But the peace sight that his punishment as our peace offering has OBTAINED for us is incredible, beautiful, unlike no other and is the most beautiful peace sight with God that could ever be as to be able to sit with DAD next to Him in His far above all Throne..What we see there of the Man Jesus Christ sitting with the Father in the Throne of His love far above all is our FAR ABOVE ALL PEACE WITH GOD who is every member of the body of Christ HEAVENLY FATHER.
.......Christ is OUR HEAD and we His Body are His flesh and bone bodies members both on earth and in heaven and Christ in all his life and positions whether on earth or in heaven is our positions, our life, even our all in all.....deno....share.

Genesis 24 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
A Wife for Isaac
24 Abraham was now a very old man. The Lord had made him rich, and he was successful in everything he did. 2 One day, Abraham called in his most trusted servant and said to him, “Solemnly promise me 3 in the name of the Lord, who rules heaven and earth, that you won’t choose a wife for my son Isaac from the people here in the land of Canaan. 4 Instead, go back to the land where I was born and find a wife for him from among my relatives.”
5 But the servant asked, “What if the young woman I choose refuses to leave home and come here with me? Should I send Isaac there to look for a wife?”
6 “No!” Abraham answered. “Don’t ever do that, no matter what. 7 The Lord who rules heaven brought me here from the land where I was born and promised that he would give this land to my descendants forever. When you go back there, the Lord will send his angel ahead of you to help you find a wife for my son. 8 If the woman refuses to come along, you don’t have to keep this promise. But don’t ever take my son back there.” 9 So the servant gave Abraham his word that he would do everything he had been told to do.
10 Soon after that, the servant loaded ten of Abraham’s camels with valuable gifts. Then he set out for the city in northern Syria,[a] where Abraham’s brother Nahor lived.
11 When he got there, he let the camels rest near the well outside the city. It was late afternoon, the time when the women came out for water. 12 The servant prayed:
You, Lord, are the God my master Abraham worships. Please keep your promise to him and let me find a wife for Isaac today. 13 The young women of the city will soon come to this well for water, 14 and I’ll ask one of them for a drink. If she gives me a drink and then offers to get some water for my camels, I’ll know she is the one you have chosen and that you have kept your promise to my master.
15-16 While he was still praying, a beautiful unmarried young woman came by with a water jar on her shoulder. She was Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Abraham’s brother Nahor and his wife Milcah. Rebekah walked past Abraham’s servant, then went over to the well, and filled her water jar. When she started back, 17 Abraham’s servant ran to her and said, “Please let me have a drink of water.”
18 “I’ll be glad to,” she answered. Then she quickly took the jar from her shoulder and held it while he drank. 19-20 After he had finished, she said, “Now I’ll give your camels all the water they want.” She quickly poured out water for them, and she kept going back for more, until his camels had drunk all they wanted. 21 Abraham’s servant did not say a word, but he watched everything Rebekah did, because he wanted to know for certain if this was the woman the Lord had chosen.
22 The servant had brought along an expensive gold ring and two large gold bracelets. When Rebekah had finished bringing the water, he gave her the ring for her nose[b] and the bracelets for her arms. 23 Then he said, “Please tell me who your father is. Does he have room in his house for me and my men to spend the night?”
24 She answered, “My father is Bethuel, the son of Nahor and Milcah. 25 We have a place where you and your men can stay, and we also have enough straw and feed for your camels.”
26 Then the servant bowed his head and prayed, 27 “I thank you, Lord God of my master Abraham! You have led me to his relatives and kept your promise to him.”
28 Rebekah ran straight home and told her family everything. 29-30 Her brother Laban heard her tell what the servant had said, and he saw the ring and the bracelets she was wearing. So Laban ran out to Abraham’s servant, who was standing by his camels at the well. 31 Then Laban said, “The Lord has brought you safely here. Come home with me. There’s no need for you to keep on standing outside. I have a room ready for you in our house, and there’s also a place for your camels.”
32 Abraham’s servant went home with Laban, where Laban’s servants unloaded his camels and gave them straw and feed. Then they brought water into the house, so Abraham’s servant and his men could wash their feet. 33 After that, they brought in food. But the servant said, “Before I eat, I must tell you why I have come.”
“Go ahead and tell us,” Laban answered.
34 The servant explained:
I am Abraham’s servant. 35 The Lord has been good to my master and has made him very rich. He has given him many sheep, goats, cattle, camels, and donkeys, as well as a lot of silver and gold, and many slaves. 36 Sarah, my master’s wife, didn’t have any children until she was very old. Then she had a son, and my master has given him everything. 37 I solemnly promised my master that I would do what he said. And he told me, “Don’t choose a wife for my son from the women in this land of Canaan. 38 Instead, go back to the land where I was born and find a wife for my son from among my relatives.”
39 I asked my master, “What if the young woman refuses to come with me?”
40 My master answered, “I have always obeyed the Lord, and he will send his angel to help you find my son a wife from among my own relatives. 41 But if they refuse to let her come back with you, then you are freed from your promise.”
42 When I came to the well today, I silently prayed, “You, Lord, are the God my master Abraham worships, so please lead me to a wife for his son 43 while I am here at the well. When a young woman comes out to get water, I’ll ask her to give me a drink. 44 If she gives me a drink and offers to get some water for my camels, I’ll know she is the one you have chosen.”
45 Even before I had finished praying, Rebekah came by with a water jar on her shoulder. When she had filled the jar, I asked her for a drink. 46 She quickly lowered the jar from her shoulder and said, “Have a drink. Then I’ll get water for your camels.” So I drank, and after that she got some water for my camels. 47 I asked her who her father was, and she answered, “My father is Bethuel the son of Nahor and Milcah.” Right away I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms. 48 Then I bowed my head and gave thanks to the God my master Abraham worships. The Lord had led me straight to my master’s relatives, and I had found a wife for his son.
49 Now please tell me if you are willing to do the right thing for my master. Will you treat him fairly, or do I have to look for another young woman?
50 Laban and Bethuel answered, “The Lord has done this. We have no choice in the matter. 51 Take Rebekah with you; she can marry your master’s son, just as the Lord has said.” 52 Abraham’s servant bowed down and thanked the Lord. 53 Then he gave clothing, as well as silver and gold jewelry, to Rebekah. He also gave expensive gifts to her brother and her mother.
54 Abraham’s servant and the men with him ate and drank, then spent the night there. The next morning they got up, and the servant told Rebekah’s mother and brother, “I would like to go back to my master now.”
55 “Let Rebekah stay with us for a week or ten days,” they answered. “Then she may go.”
56 But he said, “Don’t make me stay any longer. The Lord has already helped me find a wife for my master’s son. Now let us return.”
57 They answered, “Let’s ask Rebekah what she wants to do.” 58 They called her and asked, “Are you willing to leave with this man right now?”
“Yes,” she answered.
59 So they agreed to let Rebekah and an old family servant woman[c] leave immediately with Abraham’s servant and his men. 60 They gave Rebekah their blessing and said, “We pray that God will give you many children and grandchildren and that he will help them defeat their enemies.” 61 Afterwards, Rebekah and the young women who were to travel with her prepared to leave. Then they got on camels and left with Abraham’s servant and his men.
62 At that time Isaac was living in the southern part of Canaan near a place called “The Well of the Living One Who Sees Me.”[d] 63-65 One evening he was walking out in the fields, when suddenly he saw a group of people approaching on camels. So he started toward them. Rebekah saw him coming; she got down from her camel, and asked, “Who is that man?”
“He is my master Isaac,” the servant answered. Then Rebekah covered her face with her veil.[e]
66 The servant told Isaac everything that had happened.
67 Isaac took Rebekah into the tent[f] where his mother had lived before she died, and Rebekah became his wife. He loved her and was comforted over the loss of his mother.

You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. 14 So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
