“I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.” John 16:28.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
From the beginning My plan was to heal you and save you from all destruction by sending forth My Word.
He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions (shechith (שְׁחִית): a pit-fall, destruction, ruin, corruption). Psalm 107:20.
And I did manifest My Word among you to save you, heal you, and deliver you.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt (tabernacled) among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14.
And My Word went about doing good and healing all. He came to undo the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8.
You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38.
When you need help there is only one way that I help you, and He is the way, the truth, and the life. My Word is Spirit and life. My Word is truth. My Word is life to those who find Him and health to all their flesh. My Word in your mouth and My Spirit on you is My covenant with you that raises you up to the level of My benefits.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; He pardons all your iniquities, He heals all your diseases; He redeems your life from the pit (shachath (שַׁחַת)), He crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; He satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. Psalm 103:2-5.
At the Last Supper Jesus wanted you to know that He is the One sent forth by Me into the world that came to heal you and deliver you from the destruction of the pit. The Hebrew word, shechith (שְׁחִית) and shachath (שַׁחַת) are of the same root and portray an environment of peril—an abyss from which only My divine intervention can rescue you. It portrays a sphere of death, ruin, or entrapment that lies beyond human remedy.
Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the in Light.
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:12-14.
I sent forth My Word on a rescue mission, and He accomplished it for all for all time. All you have to do is receive Him as Lord and Savior.
There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:9-13.
I call Jesus the Lamb slain since the foundation of the world, His work of redemption and the establishment of sinful man in My righteousness by the abundance of My grace is the cornerstone on which the earth stands so that it is not consumed.
Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:22-24.
I began to share with you the good news of your salvation immediately upon Adam’s treachery in the Garden of Eden. I spoke of the Seed of the Virgin, the incorruptible seed, that would crush Satan’s power (his head) and he would lie in wait to wound His heel, His humanity into which He took all sin and became sin for you though He never sinned, so you could become righteous with My own righteousness in Him. I gave you the ransom, paid in full, in My dearly Beloved Son. Genesis 3:15. I Myself spoke the first prophecy of Jesus as there was no one else there who would hear and agree with Me by speaking it since Adam had murdered the life of the spirit within him by rejecting the imperishable incorruptible seed of My Word and planting in its place the perishable and corruptible seed of lies. Other than accusing Me of causing his evil behavior he never spoke with Me again.
My Word of salvation was picked up by My prophets, and they began to teach the people to hope for the Messiah, the anointed One, who would set them free from the corruption of sin and death. But it was My prophet Isaiah that told you that the Lord (Adonai (אֲדֹנָ֥י), God and man) would Himself give you the sign of your deliverance: a virgin who would conceive and bring forth a Son and she who would call His Name “God with us.” Isaiah 7:14. And that is the sign in the endtimes in the book of Revelation that represents the Church and born again Israel.
And Isaiah spoke of a baby to be born with dominion resting on His shoulders.
For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7.
And Micah pinned it to the birth being in Bethlehem and He would arise as a great Shepherd of the sheep to the ends of the earth who would be your shalom.
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.” Therefore He shall give them up, until the time that she who is in labor has given birth; then the remnant of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel. And He shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD His God; and they shall abide, for now He shall be great to the ends of the earth; and this One shall be peace. Micah 5:2-5.
And that is exactly what happened. The imperishable and incorruptible seed of My Word took flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit and His mother, Mary, was compelled by the order of the Roman ruler, to go to David’s city of Bethlehem to birth the Savior, Messiah, and Lord who would take the eternal throne of David and become your great good Shepherd and your Shalom peace to the ends of the earth.
Let Jesus Himself tell you who He is:
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:14-17.
He is the manifestation in the flesh of My love for you.
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39.
He was sent from My heart to your heart and then He brought back your heart into My heart. And those are the words He spoke at the Last Supper that we are studying in this Life Lesson:
“I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.” John 16:28.
No one since the fall of Adam had ever gone into Heaven, but now Jesus has opened the way to all who are in Him, that is, who receive Him as their Savior, Messiah, and Lord.
No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. John 3:13.
I love you. You came forth from Me and with Jesus you come back to Me in glory.
But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.” Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. Ephesians 4:7-10.
