Deuteronomy 6:4-5
Hear, O Yisrael: your GOD , YHVH is One. Love YHVH your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Many lessons we learn by reading the Scriptures well, will guide us in a better understanding and help us by seeing how Yeshua lived. Whom he said , he is and by the perfect example he reflects his nature.
Yeshua often made bold claims or statements and spoken with parables.
We found in John 10 shortly after Yeshua has healed a blind man that he disciples, with curiosity, having asked Yeshua. Who sinned to cause his blindness, the man himself or his parents?
But Yeshua’s response is absolutely beautiful and profound. Yeshua announced to them in John 9:3 this happened so “that the works of YHVH might be displayed in him.” This healing was brought to the attention of the Pharisees, who proceeded to investigate the healing as it was performed on a Sabbath.
They claimed,that Yeshua could not be of YHVH, for He didn’t keep the Sabbath (John 9:16). How can a sinner perform such signs?" So they were divided.
John 10:14, Yeshua declares, “I am the good Shepherd.”
At the feast of Dedication, more conflict arose; the Jews who gathered there told him, “If you are the Messiah tell us plainly,” but yesh replied, “I have told you, but you do not believe, because you are not my sheep” (John 10:26).
It is in these words Yeshua declared, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), that made caused confusion where they claimed Yeshua HaMashiach said he is GOD.
These Jews were infuriated. they were so angry they picked up stones to kill him because He wasn’t claiming to be a prophet or messenger but was actually claiming equality with God. This, to them, was simply blasphemous.
The law written down by Moshe tells us that “anyone who blasphemes the the Holy Name of YHVH is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them.
Let us take a moment and read carefully.
Leviticus 24:16
Whether foreigner or native-born,(Goyim) when they blaspheme the Name, they are to be put to death”
Yeshua HaMashiach is in the first place not a foreigner and he came to do the will of YHVH, his father. But because Yeshua claimed YHVH as his father it rose more anger.
The Jews were doing as they believed was right based on the Law of Moshe, but infact, the blind that were to be request healing were those who did not see the light.
Yeshua HaMashiach saying He and YHVH are in unity, but he never claimed to be YHVH Himself. He is of the Father and therefore we pray to our Heavenly Father.
In essence Yeshua has the very same nature, and same intentions to heal the world in their deafness, blindness and sins.
Yeshua HaMashiach is revealing himself clearly as the Messiah and the Shepherd that leads the flock.
In John 10, Yeshua is no longer behind the door. He is openly declaring who he is and his connection to the Almighty and Holy One, The Father GOD .
Yeshua HaMashiach calls himself a “good shepherd,” He calls himself “the gate and says whoever enters through him will be saved” . A Shepherd tends to the sheep and shows them the way.
Yeshua HaMashiach foretelling His death, after saying, “I am the good shepherd and finishes his sentence by saying, “The good shepherd lays his life down for the sheep.”
Yeshua is the same yesterday as he is today. He is still offering the way and directing to the open door of eternal life to the lost and the hopeless. He still offers opening the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf. He offers healing and said if we come to him, he will do it.
If you are a believer, he knows your voice; he knows when you need his help and guidance. Yeshua HaMashiach hears the cries of his lost shee and will bring them under his protection.
John 3:16
“For YHVH so loved the world, *that HE* gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 6:29
Yeshua answered, “The work of YHVH is this: to believe in the one HE has sent.”
Our Father, who are in heaven, HOLY BE THY NAME; ; THY KINGDOM COME; THY WILL BE DONE; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Be blessed and stay blessed🌿
