"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth." (II Timothy 2:15) So often we have been misled by the religious community because we do not read the Word ourselves for understanding. Too many times we expect those who teach us -- both ministers and priests alike -- to have studied the Word beforehand and subsequently deliver a message that "rightly divides the Word of truth." Unfortunately, this is not always the case. To compensate, you and I should read the Word -- the Bible -- every day -- searching and discerning the scriptures for ourselves. In so doing, we can discover first hand this wondrous God who would later became our Saviour.
Jesus -- the Seed of the Holy Spirit. The only begotten Son of God. (Note: Jesus was not begat.) Rather, the Spirit of the Holy One God, planted the promised Seed first into the Seed bank of Eve -- the mother of all living -- and then later the Spirit of the Holy One -- God planted a promised Seed into Abraham's seed bank, declaring to Abraham that this seed now implanted into his seed bank would be the Seed from which all nations of the earth would be blessed. Therefore, Abraham because of this Seed -- which is the Seed of the Holy Spirit -- became a father of many nations.
God, who is Spirit fathered the Child of Promise, who is the Seed of the Holy Spirit and who bears the name Jesus. This is the name of God Himself who willingly became our Saviour. Jesus came forth from a surrogate mother Mary. Jesus, being born of Mary was conceived within her by the workings of the Holy Spirit whilst she was a virgin. Jesus being her firstborn. (Later, Mary had other sons to Joseph -- her espoused husband -- but none of Mary’s other children were related to Jesus in any fashion.) Why not? Because the blood in Jesus' veins was the life giving blood of the Holy Spirit -- whereas Mary’s other offspring was conceived through Joseph, the natural bloodline then being of Adam.
Further, Jesus is the Word of the Spirit of the One Holy God. One cannot separate God from His own Word. The Words spoken by Jesus were the Words of the Spirit of the One Holy God, who as a result of the conception of Jesus, was now indwelling in that holy thing brought forth from Mary’ sin prone body. As a result of the Holy Spirit fetus being clothed in Mary's body, then that sin prone flesh, permitted Jesus to be tempted in all points even as we are.
Jesus therefore, was in the world but He was not of the world. Indeed, He was Almighty God Himself veiled in flesh just as we are. God manifest in the flesh. For this purpose was the Son of God manifest. That is, He came to sacrifice His veil of sin prone flesh for you and I. As we know from Jesus being tempted in the wilderness, He never did sin simply because the One who indwelt Jesus, being the Spirit of our most Holy God is much greater than man's enemy Satan who is the god of this world.
Be confident then knowing that Jesus is a priest forever after the Order of Melchisedec -- who is without Father, without Mother, and without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life. The Alpha and Omega -- the beginning and the end. The Word of God is our bread of life and milk of the Word of truth that allows us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our great God Jesus.
Trust Jesus today. May the Seed of the Holy Spirit Jesus bless you from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof. Peace to all in Jesus' name! Stand in the offering plate.
