Question 243: Why is Yeshua sometimes called the Son of Man and sometimes the Son of YHVH?
Answer:
It is held that Yeshua, in applying to Himself the title Son of Man, intended to emphasize His humanity and His representative character. The Jews were looking for a Messiah who would raise Israel to the head of the nations; Yeshua wished to impress the disciples with the fact that He was representative of the whole human race and not of the Jews only. Then too, to have spoken openly of Himself as the Son of YHVH would have been at once to exasperate the Jews and bring upon Himself a charge of blasphemy, as in the end it did (see John 10:36). The title Son of Man, was not open to that danger, as it was expressive of lowliness, humility and identification with humanity. In using it however, Yeshua did not withdraw His claim to be the Son of YHVH. When the High Priest put Him on His oath (see Matthew 26:63-65) He acknowledged that He was the Son of YHVH.
Question 242: What were the characteristics of Yeshua that made Him so worthy of following?
Answer:
He was altogether lovely, Song of Solomon 5:16; holy, righteous, good, faithful, true, just, guileless and sinless, spotless, innocent, harmless (Luke 1:35; Acts 4:27; Isaiah 53:11; Matthew 19:16; Isaiah 11:5; John 1:14; John 7:18; Zechariah 9:9; John 5:30; Isaiah 53:9; 1 Peter 2:22; John 8:46; 1 Peter 1 :19; Matthew 27:4.). He was forgiving, Luke 23:34; merciful, Hebrews 2 :17 and loving, John 13:1, 15:13; compassionate and benevolent, Isaiah 40:11; Luke 19:41; Matthew 4:23, 24; Acts 10:38. He was meek, lowly in heart; patient, humble and long suffering, Matthew 11:29, 27:14; 1 Timothy 1:16; Luke 22:27. Though zealous, He was resigned, resisted temptation and was obedient to YHVH the Father, even as He had been subject to His parents in His youth (Luke 2:49, 22:42; John 4:34, 15:10; Luke 2:57).
Frequently asked questions and answers:
Question 241: Was the ascension in human form?
Answer:
The visible resurrection was essential as a demonstration of his victory over death. The facts of the ascension are so well authenticated in numerous passages, that they are accepted by all denominations of the Church. It was a bodily ascension, visible to the multitudes, as far as human eye could penetrate. What change may have occurred in the spiritualizing of His body, in its preparation for His place on YHVH's right hand, we may only conjecture. The best commentators hold that "though Moshiach rose with the same body in which He died, it acquired, either at His resurrection or at His ascension and without the loss of identity, the attributes of a spiritual body, as distinguished from a natural body; of an incorruptible, as distinguished from a corruptible, body." See Philippians 3:21; Colossians 3:4.
Jeremiah 14:14, “ Then the Lord said to me, “Those prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them. I did not appoint them or speak to them. They have been prophesying false visions, idolatries and worthless magic. And they have been prophesying their own wishful thinking.” Recently there has been a great amount of excitement over the “revivals” that have been happening. Unfortunately many of these are nothing more than music concerts for entertainment with very little actual repentance.
Yeshua told us not to look back after we have put our hands to the plow. Of course that means to be completely committed to living a godly life, but where does this godly life take us? It might be smart to have some idea where we are going so that our plowing flows in the right direction.

Thought for Today: Shabbat February 01
Most of us, once in our life time, probably had a doctor take a little rubber hammer and tap you on your knees – and if your reflexes are good, your lower leg will respond with a gentle kick. That action occurs automatically and it is the same every time the nerve gets hit. BUT – how do you respond when trouble hits you? What is your automatic reflexion action then? Panic? Anger? Depression? Confusion? All of these? Apostle James reminds us in James 5: 13, 16, that our reflexive action should be: turning to Elohiym in prayer!
