[ The Resurrection Season was not limited to Resurrection Sunday.
It lasted until Ascension Day. This Resurrection "season" was
the 40 days and 40 nights the Resurrected LORD Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA spent with
His+ disciples--- in His+ glorified body ---, teaching them things and opening
their understanding unto the Scriptures which told about HIM+.
These Scriptures, of course, were the Prophets and Patriarchs and
Psalms found in the Old Covenant because ... the New had not yet been written.

John 20:17
Y’SHU+ said unto her
Touch ME+ not;
for I+ am not yet
ascended
to My+ FATHER:
but go to My+ brethren,
and say unto them,
I+ ascend
unto My+ FATHER,
and your FATHER;
and to My+ GOD,
and your GOD.
+
+ +
But we see Y’SHU+,
WHO+ was made
a little lower than the
angels
for the suffering of
death,
crowned with glory and
honor;
that HE+
by the grace of GOD
should taste death for
every man.
For it became HIM,
for WHOM are all
things,
and by WHOM are all
things,
in bringing
many sons unto glory,
to make
the CAPTAIN+ of their
Salvation
perfect through
sufferings.
For both
HE+ that sanctifieth
and they who are
sanctified
are all of one:
for which cause
HE+ is not ashamed
to call them Brethren.
HEBREWS 2:9- 11

MEDITATION
HE+ is not ashamed of us ?
How can that be ?
HE+
is not ashamed of us ? … who whine and murmur, groan and complain through-out our
day ?
HE+
is not ashamed of us ? … who are so concerned about our own family's salvation but do
not have time to concern ourselves about the salvation of strangers ... whether
they be nearby or across the sea ?
HE+
is not ashamed of us ? … who refuse to don a head-covering ( 1 Cor. 11) , who refuse to
forsake looking like the world, talking like the world, and behaving like the
world ?
HE+
is not ashamed of us ? … who are too tired and busy to stop our day to come
before HIM+ ... in humility and thanksgiving ?
NO, rather... the
truth of the matter is this:
HE+ is NOT ASHAMED
of those…
who are NOT ASHAMED
of HIM+.
Those who confess HIM+
before the hidden, Unseen Watchers and put to chase the spirits of Self,
complaining, and grumbling … HE+ is openly not ashamed of these Blood-washed Believers.
Those who make a
sacrifice of thanksgiving and with determination maintain their trust in HIM+
to utterly conduct their affairs as HE+ sees fit --- even when adversity
arrives --- HE+
is unreservedly not ashamed of these Faithful ones who lift HIM+ up in their
hearts.
Those who care about
the dying souls who have never heard the Word+ of GOD or those who care about
the many souls who have never understood clearly the CHOICE between Eternal
Life and Eternal Damnation... HE+ is joyously not ashamed of these Laborers in His+ Kingdom.
Those Followers who
have forsaken the world, its ways, and ALL of its values and have maintained a
distinct separation... so distinct that the worldlings may see at a glance a
glimmer of the Essence of GOD... ah, no, HE+ is definitely not ashamed of these Separated ones
who follow HIM+ boldly and unashamedly !
Those who pay the price
that the world exacts on those who REFUSE to allow "the requirements"
to absorb their entire life's energy --- for a job, a career, for fine housing
and all the amenities of this life --- in order to have SOME QUALITY energy to
devote to M’SHIKHA Y’SHU+ ... YES ! HE+ is delightedly not ashamed of these Single-of-Eye
Followers.
For both
HE+ that sanctifieth
and they who are sanctified
are all of one:
for which cause
HE+ is not ashamed
to call them Brethren.
Are we His+ Brethren
?
Yes, we are ... when we live in ONENESS with Our LORD Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA.
Both a babe in M’SHIKHA+
and a mature Follower of Y’SHU+ can live in ONENESS with M’SHIKHA+ ... if that
Follower determines to do so.
It is simply a matter of priorities.
When we yield our lives
unto His+ rule, HE+ sanctifies us daily.
HE+ is NOT ASHAMED
of those HE+ sanctifies.
Furthermore, HE+
confesses us as "His+ Brethren" before Our FATHER WHO art in Heaven,
hallowed be HIS Name, and before His+ Holy Angels.
+ + +
Let us pray...
Dear Heavenly FATHER,
We are not ashamed of Thy+ Holy SON+ Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA
!
We are not ashamed of HIM+ before our family,
before our relatives, before our neighbors and friends.
And we are not ashamed of Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA before
our enemies... both visible and invisible.
Help us to STAND for Y’SHU+ in the inner man when
the fear of the face of man raises its ugly head.
Help us to STAND for Y’SHU+ in the inner man in
spite of our aching bodies and hurting hearts.
Help us to STAND for Y’SHU+ in the inner man in
the face of adversities... knowing YOU are working in us a far greater
maturity in M’SHIKHA+.
We thank THEE , O M’SHIKHA+, for calling us Thy+
"brethren." Fit us for this calling, as only YOU+ can do.
For Thy+ Glory we pray this, O LORD, through the
Name of Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA, our Risen LORD and SAVIOR. Amen.
+ + +
I+ am the resurrection,
and the life:
he that believeth in
ME+,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth
and believeth in ME+
shall never die.
Believest thou this?
Yes, LORD, I+ believe
that THOU+ art the M’SHIKHA+,
the SON+ of GOD,
WHO+ should come into
the world.
