Before I began my journey with Young Living Essential Oils, I never really thought about how essential oils play a huge role in the Bible. Honestly, I did not think about essential oils at all. I assumed they were just something spas used to make us relax and smell good. Whenever I thought about oils in the Bible, my mind would go straight to olive oil, not essential oils. I knew they used perfumes, ointments, incense, and things of that sort but I never connected it to essential oils until now. After reading, The Essence of Jesus, Essential Oils and the Story of the Cross by Matthew Tart and taking a closer look at specific verses in the Bible, I realized there are tons of references! Tart explains that understanding essential oils can help us interpret the scriptures and draw us closer to God.
If any of this speaks to you or you find yourself interested in this oil to help promote health and wellness in your life, I highly encourage you to check out The Twelve Oils of Ancient Scripture . Cassia is not sold individually but it is included in this kit along with eleven other oils.You may also be interested in Exodus II which contains Cassia. I admit, I do not own the kit or Exodus II….YET. After this study, I know it is something special that I would love to purchase one day. We are so blessed to have a plethora of information at our finger tips. We have Bibles, reference books, the internet, and more. Studying this oil has encouraged me to dig deeper into God’s Word that is and always will be relevant in our lives. This proves you really can learn something new each time you read His Word. “A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel” Proverbs 1:5.
Dear Matthew, I am a Young Living Oils member, and I’m planning an educational presentation about the oils on 2/18/17. My friend Carole, showed me your booklet called “Essence Of Jesus”. It was given to her by her daughter Danette Goodyear, a crown diamond. We were both quite emotional by the time we finished reading about the oils, and how they were used symbolically in the bible, and how they impacted Christ’s crucifixion. Is it possible to buy ten copies of them to share with people at the event? If so, how much would they cost? …… Thank you, and God bless you for a wonderful artful presentation. We truly were blessed by it…..Sara Thomas ( a lowly “Star”)
