The Great Comfort
This morning sitting on the patio my wife and I were discussing the life of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) and what it was that He was doing here in the Earth. It appears that a pure and set apart man showed up as different. This would make sense. He said He (Yeshuah – Jesus) kept the commandments of the Father – The Torah – and the that we should keep His (Yeshuah’s – Jesus’) commandments.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
Just before this He said that the thoughts and concepts He said to them made them “clean” meaning Levitically clean.
John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
And His commandment was further explained in a simple fashion.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Later He explains that He was teaching the Law to them.
John 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
So we bring forth fruit by saying what our Messiah said, which is the Law, which teaches practical ways to love our fellow man. And when we do, we will do the works that Yeshuah (Jesus) did, and greater works.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Today, let us take comfort in the fact that Yahuah, our Father, is on our side. He will care for us. He has provided great blessing and provision in and through His word recorded in the Law and the Prophets.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your light on this Earth. Send us Your overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and more besides. Rise up, O King, and show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done this. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
