My Soul, A Fruit of Yeshua Christ
(Lk6:39-45)

God is the same forever (He13:8).
His being, His attributes are the same and
His Word is the same (2Pe3:7).
 
Faith is believing that Yeshua is my Teacher and longing to be His disciple.
The life of this faith is, in order to be reaped as firstrfruits when Christ returns,
Keeping the purity of faith and following Him (Rev14:4) for
Fruit has the same attribute as the tree, thus, a masterpiece of the tree.
 
The Bible shows how God’s creation is extremely conservative as
The DNAs of all living things remain the same even after thousands of years.
As such, God breathed into one man the breath of life making him into a living being (Ge2:7) for
He was seeking a godly offspring (Mal2:15) and
Similarly, the Law that Israel received commanded them to preserve the seed (Lev19:19),
As a seed implies the principle of life and future increase.
 
The important figures in the history of the Old Testament produced seeds:
Moses — Joshua who led Israel and conquered Canaan leading them to the promised land (Ex24:15-18; Dt1:38);
David — his warriors who built and expanded the kingdom (2Sa17:8-10);
Elijah — Elisha, a great prophet who followed his teacher until he was taken up and received a double portion of his spirit, doing the same work (2Ki2:1-15)
 
In spite of the fact that Israel was called to be pure and true servants (Jer2:21),
They eventually became a corrupt vine, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption (Is1:4).
Furthermore, because of the rebellious priests,
Their seed became corrupted and they were destroyed (Mal2:2-9).
Therefore, the prophecy regarding the appearance of another seed had them wait:
God will take one of the seedlings from the land (Eze17:5) and
A shoot from the very top of a cedar would be taken and planted to become a splendid cedar so
Birds of every kind will nest in it (Eze17:22-23).
 
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21), He would
Set aside the first covenant made in the name of Jehovah with the corrupted Levites (Mal2:8), and
Raise a new covenant with the souls of all nations in the name of Yeshua (He8:13).
 
The warning of the last prophet John the Baptist was:
For those who called themselves as Abraham’s children to produce fruit in keeping with repentance;
Every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire (Mt3:8-10); and
The One coming after him will clear His threshing floor and
Gather the wheat into His barn and burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire (Lk3:16-17).
 
The warning of Yeshua was:
By their fruit you will recognize them (Mt7:15-20);
False prophets — weeds the enemy sowed — will be there until the end of the world — the weeds will be burned, the wheat brought into the barn (Mt13:24-30).
 
As He died, Yeshua said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1)    Following the Father’s command died as a kernel of wheat, a small mustard seed planted in His field, and committed His spirit into the Father’s hands (Mt13:31-32; Jn10:18, 12:24);
2)    Judged the devil who sowed the weeds (Ge3:4-6; Mt13:28); and
3)    Sprinkled His blood for souls to receive it to become the same fruit.
 
The resurrection of Yeshua Christ is the firstfruits of resurrection (1Co15:22-23);
Then, at His return, those who belong to Him, that is, those beheaded
For the testimony of Yeshua and His word will resurrect — the first resurrection (Rev20:4-8).
 
The Holy Spirit lets the souls who have been made by the blood of Yeshua
Know that they are fruits of Yeshua Christ.
The Christian who has the same faith as precious as that of the apostles (2Pe1:1)
Belongs to Christ and has crucified his flesh with its passion and desires, and
Thus, strives to bear the fruit of the Spirit, becoming a disciple of Yeshua (Gal5:22-24).
 
O Lord,
My soul made by the blood of Yeshua, a fruit of Yeshua!
Let me preserve this precious fruit and bear my own fruit.
I want to be a disciple of Yeshua — a learner who binds himself to a teacher in order to embrace the teacher’s worldview and way to life.
Let us all become mature wheat and enter the heavenly barn in that day! Amen.
