Yeshua
I was listening to a song on YouTube, and I happened to look down at the comments, which I rarely do. But this comment caught my attention, and I had to copy it and share it with you. I don’t know who wrote it, but through the song, they saw a perspective of Christ that resonated with them:
"The greatest man in history had no servants, yet they called Him Master. He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today."
As believers, we know that this and much more is true about Yeshua. The way He lived His life on earth inspired this description of Him. It is incredible that Yeshua modeled how believers are to live in the world. When we follow in His footsteps, everything just works out. Yeshua never forced His way in, made grand announcements about His whereabouts, or sought to glorify Himself. His goal was to lead Israel to know YHWH. He continually urged them to repent, for the Kingdom of God had come. He wanted them to understand that He is the Father’s Son and that the Father was working through Him. He said, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." His message was always about YHWH and how we could enter His Kingdom and be saved.
Scripture says, "But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher (messenger)?" As believers, we are His messengers, and we are to demonstrate the same behavior as Yeshua did. When we do, the world will see Christ.
"And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name, they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover" (Mark 16:17-18).
We must live in such a way that others will be drawn to the power working through us and seek to know our Father, the King.
Key Takeaways:
When we model Yeshua, the world will come to know Him.
When we love as Yeshua did, we will see changes in the world.
Jesus revealed the Father wherever He was, and the world came to Him. We must do the same.
