The Jesus bed connection.
This holiday, think and remember. Before the word sleep became part
of our vocabulary, the word dead was used, meaning not conscious. The
word dead covered all the conditions for being found not conscious.
People 2000 years ago, not yet having the word sleep, would have
described what the carpenter Jesus was doing as raising the dead.
With hindsight, through the study of history, we can now see and
understand that Jesus was raising the sleeping, by giving them beds.
The manger, praying before going to bed, and the spread of furniture
with Christianity, all points to Jesus being responsible mass
utilization of the bed, in the same way Henry Ford is famous for the
automobile. Jesus was not first with the invention of the bed, but he
was first to realize everyone needs to sleep up off the ground. In
this way, Jesus gave us life more abundant, much more healthier.
