Yeshua the Name of Life
(Jn20:30-31)
God is the God of everlasting life.
In Him is life (Jn1:4) and
The Word, the Son, and the Name that comes from Him are all life (Jn1:1, 14, 20:31).
Faith is receiving life through His name, and
The life of this faith is calling His name and sharing His life.
Life is the most important thing, the most precious thing.
When one has it it does not seem so important
Though when one loses it he loses everything.
While name is a method to distinguish oneself from others,
It also carries one's distinctive characteristics and desires.
The characters that appear in the Bible lived according to the meaning of their names:
Adam ("living being), Abram ("exalted father), Abraham ("father of many nations),
Isaac ("laughter), Esau ("hairy), Jacob ("grasps the heel),
Israel ("struggles with God), Moses ("draw out) etc.
Adam was deceived by the devil, the "separator (Ge3:4-5), and
Committed the sin of forgetting his name which is to live (Ge2:7, 17), becoming filled with death:
His flesh would return to dust and his spirit sent to eternal death (Ge3:19; Eph2:1).
In that midst, God revealed His name to man as Jehovah, which means
"I AM, the self-existent One, the Creator (Ex3:14).
By that name, Moses used the creation to lead Israel to their exodus (Ex8-11).
Once receiving the commandments, however, the Israelites learned of sin and death, and
Began to fear for their lives even hearing the name (Jdg13:22; 1Sa6:19).
The sanctuary where the Testimony with the name of Jehovah (1Ki8:16) was
Forbid anyone from approaching it, as even the high priest was allowed
Only after confirming the death of the sacrifice on the altar (He7:27).
When the time had fully come, under the law of sin and death (Gal4:4)
The Son of God came with the name Yeshua (Mt1:21).
His name is the name of the everlasting Father, the name of life (Is9:6; Jn17:11, 20:31).
With His name He healed the sick and raised the dead (Lk10:17).
Yet He came in the flesh as the Son of Man to taste death (He2:9).
Thus, as He died, He said, "It is finished (Jn19:30), declaring that:
1) The Father alone is the everlasting God;
2) Through His death condemned the devil, the ruler of death (He2:14); and
3) Paid the price of all men's sin and the price of sin, death, and shed His blood to give life to them (Lev17:11; Mt20:28; He10:17-20).
The Father raised Him and
YeshuaascendedtotheheavenlythroneastheAuthoroflife(Ac3:15).
The Holy Spirit came from the Father in the name Yeshua (Jn14:26, 15:26)
To whosoever calls on His name (Mk10:27; Lk23:42; Rm10:13) and
Lets him come to life ” his soul, his flesh, his life, his family for
Yeshua is the name of life.
Therefore, the man of the Spirit
Daily calls out the name Yeshua in prayer,
Drives out demons and lays his hand on the sick to heal in the name, and
Goes out to seek those dying by the hour and speaks the name to give them life.
O Lord,
When we had lost the hope, the strength, and even the desire to live,
Ours souls heard the name Yeshua and
That one name gave us the hope, the strength, and the desire to live!
Yeshua, the name of life!
Let us go out to seek those souls who are dying and
Speak this name to give them life! Amen.
