The Fruit of the Womb

(Ps127:1-5)



God is the Father of glory (Eph1:6).

Glory comes from Him, and

By His glory He gives birth to His children, and

He brings to His glory those with glory (He2:10; 1Pe5:10; Rev22:24-26).



Faith is knowing Him and longing for Him, and

The life of this faith is working to receiving the fruit of glory, the reward.



The fruit of a tree is the evidence that the tree is alive,

The result of its toils and its glory.

The fruit of the womb, children, are the result of the parents' life,

Their crown, their glory.

As such, regardless of the toils and sacrifices involved

Parents do not resent or regret.



Because Adam ate the fruit that was forbidden by God (Ge3:4-5),

God added on to the woman the pains in childbearing, and

Warned that she will give birth with painful labor (Ge3:16), for

This is the fruit of sin.



Though the history of mankind continued to survive, thereafter, because

They gave birth to children,

The suffering because of them also continued:

A brother kills his brother (Ge2:8; 2Sa13:29);

A brother rapes his sister (2Sa13:13-14), and

A son covets his father's throne and sleeps with his concubines (2Sa16:22).

While the shame of childlessness was taken away for some (Ge16:2, 30:23),

Shame, sadness and concerns still continued.



The sanctuary where the name of the Lord God was,

Warranted their survival and offspring.



When it was time,

God sent His Son born of a woman (Lk1:31; Gal4:5),



Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days (Jn2:19), because

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,

He would give birth not to the flesh but to the souls of all men, for

He is the glory of the One and Only Son who was

With the Father in the beginning (Jn1:1, 14, 18),

Born of a woman (Lk1:31; Gal4:5),

Coming in the likeness of man (Php2:6) to

Speak, work and die only according to the Father's will (Jn6:38, 10:18, 12:49).



As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished (Jn19:30), declaring that He:

Gave glory to the Father who gave birth to the glorious Son through the pains of childbearing (Jn8:50, 10:18; Php2:11);

Condemned the devil who without any toil made children of wrath with his lies (Ge3:4; Jn8:44; Eph2:3); and

Through the pains of tearing His flesh gave birth with His blood to the children of glory.



The Father raised Him up and

Jesus became the first fruit of resurrection,

His fruit of the womb, His glory (Lk24:51; 1Co15:20, 41).



The Holy Spirit came in the name Yeshua and

Brings many sons and daughters to glory (He2:10).



The man of the Holy Spirit is he who

Toils in pains of childbirth until Christ is formed

First within himself and then in those whom he gave birth to in Jesus (Gal4:19-20; 2Ti2:2):



Though it is not sin to marry or have children (1Co7:28-31),

Blessed is the man who toils for

The children in the gospel, the crown of his glory and is full of fruit (Ps127:5) for

He knows that the time is short.



O Lord,

For us to never face the eternal shame of childlessness,

Let us now pray to the point of crushing our knees and

Toil in the pains of childbirth and

Bear children of the Spirit, the fruit of the womb.

This is truly our desire!

Amen.
