Join us as we have a pretty wide-ranging discussion about the good fruit. In the next few weeks, we will be looking at the many parables and instructions to be found in Matthew 12 and 13. Really these, like most of Y’shua’s instructions to us, all pertain to the same issue, the soil condition of our heart. Is it good? will the seed of the Word grow there? Will it produce a good tree and good fruit? Is He El Shaddi, the provider God whom we ask for assistance, or is He Yahuah, the eternal, all powerful creator God, or is He both?
Why did the disciples follow Y’shua just at his word? Why or what were they “given” to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven and the multitudes were “not given.” The attendees at synagogue began to see what the disciples had already seen, that this guy might just be the promised Messiah. Yet why were the educated religious leaders of that day unable to see? Why did they want to kill Y’shua, the Hebrew Word for salvation? Why did they want to kill salvation in order to save their position? Why did Y’shua get in a boat to speak with the Rabble and then later the disciples in private?
The blasphemy of the Spirit, the good tree, a brood of vipers, the good treasure of the heart, show us a sign, the unclean spirit, who are my mother and brothers? And more. Great info on its own but a great foundation for the next few weeks.
