THE HEBREW OF THE HEBREWS: YESHUA


The Hebrew of the Hebrews: Yeshua

     Anyone who knows anything about history knows that the Hebrew people are an ancient and modern people.  They outlived many of their ancient contemporaries; for example, when was the last time you talked to a Philistine, Canaanite or Moabite person? Yet, thousands of years ago the Jews/Hebrews interacted with them and were even challenged by them, putting their own existence at risk. The Hebrew still is on the forefront of modern culture, and you can readily hear about the news worthy things they accomplish on a daily basis.  Perhaps the most astounding claim to fame they possess is that they view themselves, as does the Holy Bible, as God’s people.

     There was one, and is one, who came to them and from them with his own astounding claims:  His Hebrew name is Yeshua. You all know this person as Jesus.  He was named Yeshua (Savior) because he came to save his people from their sins.  Anyone of us can read about his exploits, life, apparent defeats and victories in the Bible, especially in the 5 gospels:  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts. I have added the Book of Acts because of what Yeshua accomplished in this book himself, and what he accomplished through the body of Christ. There has never been a Hebrew (or any other kind of human being) like him; therefore, I call him the Hebrew of the Hebrews.  What makes him so special?  Well that’s what I am getting ready to share.

God’s Ultimate Public Relations (PR) Man

    Back in the day, God spoke to us through the ultimate Lawyer, Moses. (Check out the first few books of the Old Covenant in the Bible.   Later God spoke to us through the prophets. (Hebrews 1:1) God even spoke to us through angels.  Now I know some don’t believe in angels.  Then you have a big problem with how the mother of God, Mary, received her message from the Heavenly Father about getting pregnant with the child Jesus.  Despite anyone’s beliefs, it’s clear to me God spoke to us through the angels as well as Moses and the Prophets.

    However, then there is Yeshua who is God’s ultimate PR Man… Public Relations Man.  He is ultimate because of the way he is described in the Bible.  Check out Hebrews 1:1-4:

1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

1.     First, he is God’s Son.

2.     He is also appointed heir of ALL things.

3.     Through him God made the entire universe.

4.     He radiates God.

5.     He represents exactly what God is in His being.

6.     His word is powerful and sustains ALL things.

7.     He purified people completely from bondage to sin.

8.     He reigns with the Father in Heaven

9.     He is superior to the angels

10.  His name and inheritance are superior to mere angels.

     Needless to say, when Jesus speaks, everybody needs to listen up. For he says is a rock solid representation of what God wants you to know.  When he speaks, he teaches you the way of God’s salvation, and he offers this salvation to you as a gift.  When he speaks, he breathes the breath of life that God’s Word gives.  When he speaks, it is profitable for you and me.  When he speaks, he tells us what God wants us to know.  When he speaks, he tells us what God wants us to stop.  When he speaks, he is guiding us to keep our lives on course. When he speaks, he is giving the instructions we need to walk in righteousness and have what we need to live purpose filled lives, while on planet earth.  When he speaks, he is giving us basic instructions before leaving earth.  He is indeed God’s ultimate PR Man.

     Now here is the real kicker.  When he came to his own, the Hebrews did not receive him or accept him.  Sure the Hebrew disciples received him, and about 500 other witnesses, mostly Hebrew, received him; but for the most part his own folks (who represented the core people through whom God wanted to reach the world) did not listen to him. (John 1:11); however, this left the door wide open for you and for me to intersect our lives with God Himself. 

But as many as received him, he gave them the power of God to become children of God.
John 1:12

Here are some questions for you today:  Will you let a miracle occur in your life?  Will you believe he is indeed the Son of God?  Will you receive him as your Savior?  Will you let him into your life to have a relationship with your, by faith? Will you turn to him so that you can receive the supernatural power to become one of God’s special adopted children? You may have been rejected by others.  He will NOT reject you. He is reaching out to you today, and he is speaking to you.  Will you listen?  If you do, not only will he represent God to you.  He will present you to God, and through his good news, you will look to God as one of his perfect children.  God will see you as holy, blameless, and free from any accusation. (Colossians 1:22.) God will transform your life. (Romans 12:1.)

He is speaking.  Why not listen up, and…

Be Blessed Today

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
