MNC Fellowship Matthew Janzen

The final element to Yeshua’s uniqueness is his resurrection to immortality. This is what concretes everything together, and it is also the blessed hope that all followers of Yeshua have when they die. Because he lives, we can face tomorrow.

In Scripture, one’s characteristics or behavior shows forth who they belong to. Since Yeshua always did the behavior of his Father, he is the pen-ultimate Son of Elohim. this lesson looks at Yeshua’s perfect, miraculous life.

Once the lame man was healed, Peter began to preach another stirring message to his brethren - the men of Israel. He focuses on Yeshua being Yahweh’s servant, and how Yahweh had sent him to them, but they had rejected him.

An exegesis of Luke 1:32b-38. I cover how Adam is a photo-type of Yeshua, and how Yeshua must be related (a descendant) of King David. Towards the end I spend time on Miriam’s question (1:34) and Gabriel’s answer (1:35). If we take away Yeshua’s virgin conception, we are taking away part of what makes him the unique Son of Elohim.

I begin exegeting Luke 1:26-38 here, and talk about young Miriam’s (Mary’s) situation in life, balancing out Catholic and Protestant “takes” on her. I then focus on Gabriel’s words in Luke 1:32a, that Yeshua would be called the “Son of the Most High.” Towards the end of the lesson I look at how the birth of Yochanan (John) is somewhat parallel with the birth of Yeshua - they were both miracle children.

When I began to sit down and write out an exegesis of Luke 1:26-38 my mind and my fingers went in another direction. I felt led to give an overview of the miracle-working power of Yahweh, and encouraging everyone to stay with the text of Scripture no matter where it leads or what the cost. I hope and pray this lesson will be a righteous influence to all who have ears to hear.
