2024 ADVENT 8 – Whose SON + is HE+ ?

 

Matthew 22:42

Saying, What think ye of CHRIST?

Whose SON is HE+?

They say unto HIM+,

The Son of David.

+  +  +

The Scripture states that The LORD JESUS CHRIST was the SEED+ of Eve .  “SEED” , of course, meaning off-spring, children or child.  

But “her SEED+”  is curious, as it is stated in Genesis 3:15. 

 

Gen 3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and HER SEED+; 

 HE+ shall bruise thy head [ the serpent's ], and thou shalt bruise HIS+ Heel. 

+  +  +

Consider: Throughout Scripture, children --- “seed” --- is traced from the male, not the female. Off-spring are listed as the son of the father, not the son of the mother.

Yet in Genesis, Scripture clearly reveals that YHWH ELOHIM  is giving the Prophetic Promise of The MESSIAH+ as the SEED+ from Eve, that Divine SEED+ Who+ would bruise the head of the satan. See Genesis 3:15, remembering that “HE” is literally spelled out in that verse, not “it”.

That odd statement affirms  PROPHETICALLY

that the Birth of The MESSIAH+ would be

from the SEED+ of a woman ,

not the seed of a human male.

BUT . . . womankind does NOT produce “seed” !

The human male produces “seed”. So how can a human woman bear a child when she cannot produce seed in and of herself ?

The SEED+ of Eve, so curiously stated so early in Scripture, was pointing us to a phenomena that would be occurring in the future : a woman who “knew not a man” would be having a child. . .  a DIVINE Child+.  A male child not fathered , not sired, not generated, by a human male.

Isaiah 7:14

Therefore THE LORD HIMSELF shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a SON+, and shall call HIS+  Name IMMANUEL. 

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a SON+,

and they shall call HIS+ Name

Emmanuel,

which being interpreted is,

“GOD WITH US.”

+  +  +

John 3:16 -18

For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS Only-Begotten SON+, that whosoever believeth in HIM+ should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. 

^{John 3:17} For GOD sent not HIS SON+ into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through HIM+ might be saved. 

^{John 3:18} He that believeth on HIM+ is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name

of the Only-Begotten SON+ of GOD. 

                                                 So… WHOSE SON+ is HE+ ?

Let us pray:

O JESUS, we praise and worship YOU+ as the Eternal SON+ of GOD.  None other has that title; none other has that privilege.   

Priceless ! Immortal ! Ever-Living  SON+ , Righteous in all Your+ Ways.

Through YOU+, LORD CHRIST, we are enabled to become Adopted Sons of Our Heavenly FATHER.

Praise, Honor, and Glory are Yours+, O CHRIST.  YOU+ have placed us into Your+ Family . . .  the Family of GOD.

A Family whom THE ELOHIM promised

AND PRODUCED

 through the Birth …. and death…. and Resurrection

of The MESSIAH+, JESUS CHRIST.

Now, I too belong to a REAL family.

Now I too have a family of Brothers and Sisters.

I too have a FATHER in Heaven Who loves me and is always there. 

Bless The LORD, I now “belong” to SOMEONE+ SPECIAL and am not an out-cast.

O LORD CHRIST, I thank YOU+  from the bottom of my heart for coming for ME ! 

Amen and amen.
