Yeshua is the full, final and complete explanation of who Abba is, how Abba thinks and what Abba does. Abba is abounding in steadfast love and His thoughts are not our thoughts nor His ways our ways. Abba is our Father who helps, delivers and guides. Yeshua has been given the name above every other name as He has lived in perfect obedience to the Father and rescued the creation He so desperately longed for and longs for.

Scripture:

Isaiah 9:2-7

John 1:16-18

John 17:1-5

John 17:20-26

Romans 8:15-17

2 Corinthians 5:16-19

Galatians 4:3-7

When the apostolic declaration of who Yeshua is is truly heard in our hearts, it brings us into fellowship with the Father and Son by the power of the Holy Spirit. This fellowship is the aim of His heart and highest calling we could ever be given. All life and vitality flows from this seat at the table. We are being given the opportunity to treasure Yeshua for the prize that He is. We have arrived because He has come.

Scripture:

Psalm 34

Isaiah 35

Isaiah 60

1 John 1:1-5

Yeshua is the language of Abba. He is exactly and completely what Abba has to say about Himself. He is the beautiful radiance of Abba’s glory and his declaration to us. Thankfully, Yeshua has purged our sin and is seated at the right hand of Abba. Through His union with us, we are given the grace to join Him in His rest as we rule and reign above every form of darkness. This is the true freedom that comes from sitting at the table with Yeshua.

Scripture:

John 5:16-25

Ephesians 1:18-23

Hebrews 1:1-3

Yeshua is the revelation that Abba has qualified us to partake in our inheritance, delivered us from darkness, transferred us into His kingdom, redeemed us from slavery and forgiven us of all our guilt. He alone is the image of the invisible God and the head of His bride, the church. We honor who He is and what He has done.

Scripture:

John 1:1-18 (NKJV + TPT)

Colossians 1:12-20 (NKJV + TPT)

Hebrews 1:1-3 (NKJV + TPT)

1 John1:1-5 (NKJV + TPT)

Revelation 1:4-8

The Holy Spirit is calling His church to the table to feast on Yeshua. Yeshua is not a code to crack or a formula to figure out. He is the Tree of Life that all of creation was designed to consume. Arise and shine, for our Light has come!

Scripture:

Genesis 2:8-17

Psalm 23

Isaiah 52:13-15

Isaiah 55:1-3

John 1:1-18

Oftentimes, our greatest need in order to abide in Yeshua is to simply remember His faithfulness in our lives. Just as Israel continually stopped to remember the numerous ways Yahweh had been faithful as they journeyed, the spirit of wisdom tells us to do the same in ours. His faithfulness fuels our trust in Him as we follow His voice.

Scripture:

Isaiah 35

Hosea 10:12

Luke 5:33-39

Our misunderstandings about who He is will always open us up to fear. And when we are animated by fear, we tend to strive to make something happen that was meant to come by promise. The redemption of Yeshua shows us that Abba is the gardener who lifts us up to Himself, cleanses us, and remains faithful to us.

Scripture:

Genesis 1:26-28

Genesis 16:1-3

Genesis 17:1-11

Genesis 21:1-19

Matthew 13:1-9; 31-32

John 15:1-12

Galatians 4:21-31

Yeshua came announcing the good news of the kingdom of heaven. As we see with John and Peter, after we are invited to follow Yeshua, He leads us into embracing the mystical nature of the kingdom of heaven.

Scripture:

Psalm 8

Isaiah 61:1-3

Daniel 7:9-10

Matthew 4:18-22

Matthew 26:47-56

Luke 9:51-56

Hebrews 12:18-24

Revelation 22:1-5

Rather than aiming at having an impact on the world around us, we are sinking deeper into the beauty of the Kingdom being established within us. Becoming oaks of righteousness who allow the promise of the river of the Holy Spirit to flow into and from us. This is the new covenant hope and Kingdom the prophets and Yeshua proclaimed.

In John 20, we see some admirers of Yeshua, a few disciplined disciples and one devoted lover who is longing to see Him. Devotion brings us into the realm of longing that is superior to logic. In this realm, Yeshua equips us with His kiss.
