The Genealogy Of Yeshua

Before we explore the very interesting nature of the human race, as a matter of fact our primary objective is to talk about someone, a very powerful, interesting and significant figure in introspective. However the ideal objective is to share my personal experience, testimony and understanding i’ve accumulated overtime about Jesus with whoever’s reading on the other side of the screen. The name yeshua is a greek word which means Jesus in English. The name Jesus originated from the Aramaic word (/'dzi:zas/) meaning Isho in Aramaic and Yeshua in Hebrew language, which happens to be the language that was as at that time hence it is etymologically related to another biblical name, Joshua.

Before we delve into biblical truths surrounding Jesus’s life, I’d love to uniquely share an interesting epistle of Jesus that correlates with true scientific knowledge on a metaphysical level, something I believe sparked an enormous curiosity within me thus far in my christian journey. Our realities are defined based on the shield of our faith hence the conditions of one’s circumstances is because you’re born, however the life of Jesus is an exemplary phenomenon that every being on earth ought to emulate and adapt. I’ve come to understand that there’s more truths yet to be revealed when it comes to the life of Jesus, the biblical doctrine about Jesus has given many believers a boost in their journey enabling them cultivate a healthy relationship with Jesus. Our perception of Jesus varies for everyone, it’s a personal experience based on one’s level of spiritual intimacy however many neglects having a predefining understanding of having a relationship with Christ, instead of having a personal point of view for themselves based on their experience, many ignore yet chooses to go with the crowd or what they’ve been taught about Jesus. Such fathom of religious beliefs oftentimes becomes a tool for rebellion, creating a chaotic atmosphere for false teachers and doctrines to mislead people farther. This article contains certain words of faith that’ll trigger those who’re religious based. So here’s my disclaimer “ensure you study the word of God for yourself and have a cultured life in Christ first before you proceed with this message”.

In the middle of the night I woke up heavily burdened, anxiety and paranoia became a comfort zone for me as I reflect on the magnitude of my life. I had many questions unanswered even though I could speak up for myself, I felt unheard and even though I was surrounded by people and family, I felt unseen. The embrace warmth of loneliness and heartache wrapped their arms around me and just when I saw a way to finally exit the trap of earth, I came in contact with an amazing friend who introduced himself as Jesus. He called me by name and for the first time in my life I’ve never felt such magnitude of tears gushing down my eyes, because I felt something different that I haven’t felt in a long while and that was peace. I was drowsy in so much pain blaming myself for every bad thing that had happened to me. I just hope you this makes sense to whosoever’s reading… Who is Jesus? Or should I say… Who is Jesus to you?

You see, this question literally has more to it than it may look, however Jesus or Yeshua is the first ever son of God that literally took it upon himself to carry the burdens of humanity by paying a detrimental price for man to experience redemption. Some may call it saving grace whereas others may refer it as being saved, hence it’s more than that to me, like an experience or something words cannot explain. Science and spirituality paints different pictures of whom he is, Science refers Jesus to be an extraterrestrial hybrid being that descended from a luminous light in the heavens, down to earth to save humanity from destruction and also enlighten men about their maker, thus many believes this retrospect was made so for the purpose of elevating the consciousness of men to a much higher level. Hence in order to effectively carry out this project, Jesus or Yeshua exhibited several supernatural abilities on earth. In biblical terms, we refer the supernatural to the natural as miracles, signs or wonders. However this prospect was a deployment of a spiritual technology by a much higher being which attuned the attention of men to the image of Jesus. Intriguingly when Jesus walked on water, fed the 5000, performed innumerable amount of miracles, casted out demons and unclean spirits, raised the dead and healed the sick, he’s objectives was having a heart centred on compassion and being driven by unconditional love. Making him very much eager to not just obey the father in heaven, but also to bring men out of eternal abyss that awaits us.

After much studying on the life of Jesus, I’ve been able to completely understand that his mission was centred around value and favour. When I talk about Jesus contributing value to the lives of men, we can see in the scriptures what we did and how impactful it was. Also in terms of favour, I believe the Pharisees and the Sadducees despised him so much not just because he was the son of God, but also he was favoured by God. I mean, when you see a perfect man like Jesus who lacked nothing, what do you expect?

Regardless of the trails and tribulations Jesus endured on earth, he maintained a profound influence and stature in both realms (physical and spiritual), Thus he was known everywhere he went both spirits and humans knew who he was.

John 14:12-13 ‘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, And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

When Jesus said that we are also deemed to do greater works than he did, this analogy tells me that for us to do greater works than he did then we must believe that he is. Doing so brings us closer to him for an integration to take place, however when I talk about integration I mean having the Holy Spirit in us as a mediator for us to get to Christ. However when Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me - John 14:6 I believe he was trying to tell his disciples that we can only access the father through him, but we can access him through the Holy Spirit. Hence, the reason why I said so is simply scriptural, John 14:26 ‘But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.’

Just before Jesus ascended to heaven, the bible tells us in John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. I believe that Phillip’s curiosity was fuelled by anxiety or fear, because Jesus was ready to be taken to heaven to be seated at the right hand of the father. Knowing that he won’t be able to see his master until his day of return, even though the scriptures referenced his speech I personally had to imagine how Phillip felt at that moment. Such mixed emotions of sadness, a slight bit of confidence and curiosity as all I could feel. However this epistle made me reflect deeply, knowing that Jesus himself is the only way to the father, then he introduced the Holy Spirit as the mediator that will teach his disciples and bring to their remembrance the teachings of Jesus. Then that certainly means that the Holy Spirit must be in us for us to meet with Christ, and then Christ takes us to the father. Just like an escalator, you must first take the first step into the escalator for you to be able to ascend. In the same way, the genealogy of Jesus isn’t complete without the presence of the Holy Ghost. Here’s why I said so….

Luke 3:16 - John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptise you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptise you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:

Matthew 3:11 - I indeed baptise you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Reflecting on these scriptures, I believe that John himself had to announce to the people about the coming of Christ and also he emphasised on the importance of the Holy Ghost too. That even when John himself baptised with water, Jesus Christ will baptise with the Hoy Ghost and with fire. When we link this scripture with the question of Phillip, we can strongly agree that the Holy Spirit is first needed in order to experience Christ in the best possible way. Hence the Holy Spirit brings forth a better revelation that’ll sit well in our spirit and will be better off understood, because he’s a great teacher at that. When we submit ourselves to repentance by declaring Jesus to be our personal lord and saviour, The bible creates a better sphere of understanding that is in such moment we experience transfiguration and transformation as a required transaction. We’d first experience the Holy Spirit by allowing him come into our lives, I call that the sanctification process cause it’s only when we become sanctified we then experience christ in the best possible way. However this transition cannot progress further without our cooperation in submission and surrendering ourselves completely to the Holy Spirit. He’s the one that searches our hearts and believe me when I say he understands us better than e understand ourselves. This is the process of experiencing salvation correctly by accepting the Holy Spirit then allowing the Holy Spirit reveal the image of Jesus and then when we’ve cultivated a strong relationship with Christ, Christ then takes us to the Father.

This process isn’t time based as it differs for everyone, however this is what goes on behind the scenes that we can’t see. We cannot get to the father without knowing who he is, Jesus reveals who the father is to us and then we become one with the father. However this isn’t a one day job, you must be willing to dedicate yourself in consecration through the word, your faith and strength will be tested before you’d be crowned with Christ. Without the holy spirit you cannot know Christ and without Christ you cannot know the father, I believe that the christian communities sometimes fail to teach this correctly, many neglect the holy spirit as a vital part of our transformation which is completely wrong. Another fascinating story about the intertwined nature of the Holy Spirit and that of Jesus is in Acts 2:1-4 which says; ‘And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.’ Thus I believe that this scripture came as a fulfilling prophecy of what John the Baptist prophesied about Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is very crucial for every believer’s transformation, he ignites the transition phase after our vessels have been sanctified for us to meet with Christ and when we meet with Christ, we become purified with fire in order to meet with the father. That was what John the Baptist was trying to say. I believe this message blesses whomever's reading on the other side of the screen right now, also I'd want to encourage you to take your walk seriously with God and finally I'd leave this bible scripture with you.

Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."

Happy resurrection day, we've risen with Christ and the grave has no claim on us.
