God’s Salvation “Yeshuah”

“Yahweh says, “Maintain justice, and do what is right; for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will soon be revealed.” (Isaiah‬ ‭56:1‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When reading the Old Testament, pay attention when God talks about His righteousness, wisdom, and salvation.

Oftentimes, they hint at Jesus.

Now we know when we read the Old Testament in the light of the New Testament.

“Thus saith Hashem, Be shomer over mishpat, and do tzedakah (righteousness); for My Yeshuah (salvation) is near to come, and My tzedakah to be revealed.” (Yeshayah‬ ‭56:1‬ ‭OJB‬‬)

In the Hebrew, you can see that the original word for “salvation” is “Yeshuah” which is Jesus’ name.

God was hinting about Jesus’ coming.

Now that Jesus has already come, we know that God has fulfilled His promises to mankind.

We have a Savior who died as an atoning sacrifice at the cross.

““Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” (John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Believe and confess that Jesus is Lord and you will receive forgiveness of all your sins, and pass from death into eternal life.

“Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:30‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Jesus is God’s wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

This knowledge unlocks the Old Testament for us, to see that Jesus is the one the prophets were writing about.

The next time you read the Old Testament, you can see Jesus in it!

We Need Wisdom

“Receive my instruction rather than silver; knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it. “I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion. The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule; nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth. I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me. With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; my yield than choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice; That I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.” (Proverbs‬ ‭8:10-21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In the passage above, God’s wisdom is speaking. Wisdom is the number one thing to seek from God. It empowers a person to retain and multiply the things he has been blessed with.

Without wisdom, you will make poor decisions that cause you to experience losses.

In the New Testament, we learn that God’s wisdom is actually Christ Jesus:

“Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:30‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

You can replace the word “wisdom” in the Proverbs passage above. When you seek Jesus, He will give you wisdom by leading you by His Spirit, and teaching you truths.

You will be led to do the right thing at the right time, and the decisions you make will be prosperous ones that lead to lots of good.

Those who seek Jesus and become wise will be good leaders too.

Compared to eternity, this lifetime is so short, like a breath of air. There is no time to waste by being foolish, bitter, worried, and fearful. Every day when you pray, always ask for wisdom, and you can be sure that God will supply it generously!

“But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.” (James‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Keep studying God’s word and growing in your understanding of His ways. Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.

By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord!

Whatever you are not in the natural, Jesus says “I AM” and He supplies what you lack.

“God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”” (Exodus‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

“Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”” (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:30-31‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When the pressure seems immense and you feel like you can’t handle it, turn to Jesus who is “I AM”. He is well able to settle it for you.

Whenever your mind says a challenge is impossible or too difficult, picture Jesus saying “I AM able to.” Through Him, you are more than a conqueror; you can do all things through Him who strengthens you.
