“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
The meaning of the name Jesus is derived from the Hebrew name Yeshua/Y'shua, "to deliver; to rescue."
A simple search in the KJV shows that the name Jesus is used approximately 983 times in the New Testament.
We started a transformative Bible word study seven years ago, and since that inaugural day, December 14, 2019, we have explored over 770 words. Our journey through the Bible went from Genesis to Revelation and has been a profound dance of discovery. As we read and studied numerous scriptures and verses, we gained a deeper understanding of the extraordinary Man with a heavenly connection. This divine connection transcends human comprehension. His beautiful nature inspires us to hunger for more… for more of Him!
While many of us struggle to grasp the Trinity, we marvel at how they harmonize in such perfection.
I firmly believe that God sought to guide the diverse tribes of ancient times, but unfortunately, few were receptive to His teachings. Undeterred, He chose to walk among us, driven by three primary motivations. Firstly, to ascertain whether His expectations for humanity were achievable. Secondly, to illuminate the path to living and loving with purpose. And thirdly, to demonstrate the boundless love He has for each of His children.
Just think we are cherished so deeply by the one who created all the heavens and earth. His love is truly beyond words. I have discovered that the greatest lesson written in this masterpiece we call the Bible is His unwavering LOVE. He has proven He will go to any lengths to take care of the ones He loves. He will go from birth to death to prove His eternal love for each of us.
Many of my readers already know that I had a life-changing spiritual encounter, which redirected my life and ignited a love that had lain dormant within me. It left me hungry to chase Him with a soul-felt passion that I did not know existed. He has such transformative power in our lives.
He came to us as a child, He was graced with the holy Hebrew name Yahshua, which later transformed into Jesus after being translated from its original language. Jesus was gently placed in His earthly mother's womb with a sacred purpose. He arrived with a clear and resolute agenda from His Father. His mission was to mercifully deliver us from ourselves.
He devoted His entire life to us. Do you ever wonder why we do not possess many facts about Jesus, the young boy? Did we unwittingly deprive Him of His childhood? And then as He navigated through the master plan, He found Himself in one of the most horrific acts possible.
“The Cross”
When I reflect on this monumental moment, it profoundly saddens my heart and soul. How could we do this to this beautiful, gentle soul? His mission was one of peace. He was sent because of love.
He never faltered, He never said, I give up!! I'll just return to my heavenly home...
NO, He knew in His Heart that the only chance His children would have for redemption is to follow through with His Heavenly Father’s plan.
When we reflect on His life, how can we not be humbled? How can we not be in awe of the very mention of His name? I do know He has returned to His rightful place with the Trinity. Our amazing Father, His Beautiful Son, and God's very breath, we know as the Holy Spirit.
In unity, they embody the essence of unconditional love. This extraordinary love story continues to captivate and inspire us, reminding us of the profound impact they have on our daily lives.
He must have declared victoriously on that momentous day. Earth to Heaven… Mission accomplished… put a log on the fire, I am coming home! What a jubilant celebration there must have been in Heaven!! He must have received the most affectionate hug from His Father, as His Father tenderly whispered in his ear, Welcome Home, my beautiful Son. I love you; with you, I am infinitely pleased.
It’s Him!!! It is and forever will be Him!!!
Oh, how I love Him!!
“You are the most beautiful man that there is. You speak words of grace. God has made you special forever.”
Psalms 45:2 EASY
“For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.” Isaiah 53:2 KJV.
“Serve and worship the awe-inspiring God. Recognize his greatness and bow before him, trembling with reverence in his presence. Fall facedown before him and kiss the Son before his anger is roused against you. Remember that his wrath can be quickly kindled! But many blessings are waiting for all who turn aside to hide themselves in him!”
Psalms 2:11-12 TPT
