The Counting of the Omer creates a count down to Shavuot(Pentecost), the time of giving of the Torah and the time of the giving of the Holy Spirit. As such, it guides us on a spiritual journey of preparation. It is a journey that is begun with Passover, the symbol of our Salvation in Yeshua, and completed at Pentecost, the symbol of our completion through the Spirit. The distance of days between the two events should be a time of spiritual reflection, growth, purification and preparation.
The Master's resurrection makes the counting of the Omer a season of special significance and joy. For His disciples, it is a time to remember the resurrected Yeshua. All of His post-resurrection appearances fell within the days of the Omer count.
My prayer for my family is that as we work together to keep the mitzvah of Counting the Omer, we would express the resurrected life within us by doing good deeds and spreading more joy. May ADONAI be glorified in the process.
