Proverbs 24:21, “My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not associate with the rebellious.” Each time a phrase like this is written the Creator always is first indicating that our first responsibility is to obey God before man.
Question 210: Why was Yeshua baptized?
Answer:
The Saviour evidently ranked baptism as one of the acts inseparables from His Messianic calling (see John 1:31). By being publicly baptized He entered into John's community, which was introductory to His greater Messianic work. Further, it was the means of revealing Himself to the Baptist and through him to the people. John was the forerunner of the Messiah and it was especially fitting that he should personally serve at Yeshua' consecration to His Messianic work and assist at the beginning of His public career.
Question 209: As YHVH, how could Yeshua be weary, hungry and thirsty?
Answer:
In His divinity, no; but in His humanity He could be all of these. Scripture tells us that in His human aspect He was "in all things as we are." What we have in the Gospels is the report by His hearers of what He said. As John tells us (21:25), it is a very imperfect and meagre report, but sufficient for the purpose the writers had in view. At the same time, it is doubtful how much of the God-head Yeshua may voluntarily have laid aside when He became man. Paul says (Philippians 2:7, R.V.) that "He emptied Himself," from which we infer that in order fully to enter into human feeling He divested Himself of such qualities as would have kept Him from feeling hunger, etc. It behoved Him to be made in all things like unto His brethren and He could not be that unless He temporarily relinquished some portion of His divinity.
Question 208: Why is Moshiach described as a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek?
Answer:
The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, whether Paul or some other person, was showing the superiority of Christianity to Judaism. It too had its priest and sacrifice. The Jew might answer that Moshiach could not be a high priest as he did not come of the tribe of Levi, to which the priesthood was confined. The answer is that there was another order of priesthood - that of Melchizedek, which Abraham recognized (Genesis 14:20) by paying him tithes. Moshiach belonged to that order as the Psalmist had predicted (Psalm 110:4) and Levi through his ancestor, had thus indicated his superiority. It is an argument that would have weight with a Jew. It is a curious fact, that among the recently discovered Tel el-Amarna tablets, are letters from one Ebed-tob, King of Uru-Salim (Jerusalem), who describes himself as not having received the crown by inheritance from father or mother, but from the mighty YHVH. We know nothing of Melchizedek beyond the scanty references in Genesis, but this tablet appears to intimate that the ancient Kings of Jerusalem claimed this divine right.
Question 207: How old was Yeshua when He began to understand the nature of His mission?
Answer:
Although one cannot trace with any degree of precision the various stages of development of the consciousness of his mission, it is evident from the Gospel record that it must have begun early and gradually increased to complete appreciation as manhood approached. We are told that even in childhood he "grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom" and the "grace of YHVH was upon him." (Luke 2:40.) In youth we find him questioning and expounding to the rabbis in the temple and "increasing in stature and in wisdom and in favour with YHVH and man." His wonderful knowledge, his amazing questions and his discerning answers to the elders must have become more and more accentuated during the passage of these early years and we may gather that Mary had already premonitions of the future career of her Divine Son, since she pondered over and "hid all these things in her heart." There are indications that seem to warrant the conclusion that long before the opening of his public ministry, Yeshua was absorbed by the thought of the mission to which he was destined. He knew his Father's business and did it and he frequented his Father's house. His life and surroundings in Nazareth brought him in contact with a simple, earnest people and with sorrow and suffering. These were years of character-building and development. They bore fruit when the time was ripe for his public ministry and prepared him for the baptism at John's hands. This was the last act of his private life and the first that marked the beginning of his public mission, when the heavenly voice proclaimed him as the "Beloved Son" and the Baptist bare record that he was the Son of YHVH.
