The innocence of a child ❑ Jesus according to the Gospel of Matthew pointed out that the “greatest in the kingdom of heaven“ is like a little child ❑ He said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. v3 ❑ Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

God intends that he will be formed and belong to a family 4. See: Matthew 1:2 – 16 Common face of Jesus in nArt Name of Jesus (origins and etymology) ❑ Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japhath. ❑ Shem is the line of the Messiah—the line of the Jews and the Semites. ❑ The word Shem means “name.” ❑ Therefore the Semites are the People of the name (SEMITIC PEOPLE) Jesus. The name who saves (acts 4:12) Jesus. The name above all names (Phil 2:9-10) Latin: Iesus Jesus ❑ Greek: Iēsous ❑ Hebrew: ❑Yeshua "to rescue", "to deliver“, ❑Yehoshua “the lord is salvation” ❑ Aramaic : Yeshu a ❑ Arabic: Isa ❑ Jesus ❑ Dervied Iesous from the Greek word ❑ Dervied from the Hebrew word Yeshua, which is an abbreviation of Yehoshua. ❑ Yehoshua means “Yahweh is salvation” or “the Lord is salvation.” Jesus 1. Jesus is Yeshua ben Abraham, Yeshua ben David, or Yeshua ben Joseph. 2. The word ben is placed to denote “son of.” 3. When people use this style they are speaking of the son of so and so. This how names are identified in the Biblical times Jesus Matthew 1 says “the book of the generation of Jesus Christ” It is the book of the generation of Yehoshua ha Masheach, Jesus the Messiah, or “Jesus Christ.” Matthew: Jesus is “ben David,” the son of David 1. 2. Yeshua ben David means the Messiah is the son of David (the messianic King) Jesus is the messianic King - Yeshua ha Masheach [Jesus the Messiah] Jesus is the son of Abraham. “ben Abraham” 1. The seed of Abraham will bring salvation to the entire world. 2. No one else can. And if you existed before He became a baby, you still had to call upon Him in order to be saved. Abraham, the father of Isaac, the father of nations Yeshua ben Yosef [Jesus son of Joseph] 1. Jews never say that a person is the son of a woman instead, they always list the man. 2. That is why in the genealogies you see all these men. Now in Matthew 1:16, it says, Yacov [Jacob] begat Yosef [Joseph] (the husband of Mary). 3. Yosef [Joseph], the husband of Mary, the carpenter Technically, Jesus became a carpenter , like his father https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzzVwci8qJY Matthew 1:21 - He was given the name of Yehoshua 1. “She shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call His name Jesus.” 2. Why? “For He shall save His people from their sins.” You see, it means, Yahweh is salvation. That is the meaning of Yehoshua— Yahweh is salvation. 3. 4. Yehoshua Yahweh part of Hosanna 1. Hosanna means “save us now.” 2. So Yehoshua means, “Yahweh is salvation.” Jesus cannot be define for who he really is except for the truth that he was indeed HUMAN and subject to the laws of humanity Galatians 4:4... Born of a woman, subject to the law Hebrews 4:15....

Anointing: ways of passing the mission, heritage and Gods’ blessings Jesus is Anointed by a Woman In all 4 Gospels, a woman anoints Jesus during a meal ❑ In Mark 14:3-9 and Matt 26:6-13, a woman anoints Jesus' head with expensive ointment. ❑ Some people complain about the waste, saying the ointment could have been sold and the money given to the poor; but Jesus commends the woman, saying the anointing was a preparation for his burial. ❑ Mt 26: 6-13 6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came up to him carrying a precious jar of expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus' head as he was at table. 8 Seeing this the disciples became indignant, protesting, "What a useless waste! 9 The perfume could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.“ 10 But Jesus was aware of this, so he said to them, "Why are you troubling this woman? What she has just done for me is indeed a good work. 11 You always have the poor with you but you will not have me forever. 12 She was preparing for my funeral when she anointed my body with this perfume. 13 Truly, I say to you: wherever the Gospel is proclaimed, all over the world, what she has done will be told in praise of her." Mt 26: 6-13 Jesus is Anointed by a Woman ❑ In John 12:1-8, a woman anoints Jesus' feet and wipes them with her hair. ❑ Judas Iscariot is singled out as the one who complains about the waste, but Jesus' reaction again makes reference to his upcoming burial. John 12:1-8 1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where he had raised Lazarus, the dead man, to life. 2 Now they gave a dinner for him, and while Martha waited on them, Lazarus sat at the table with Jesus. 3 Then Mary took a pound of costly perfume made from genuine nard and anointed the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair. And the whole house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 Judas, son of Simon Iscariot - the disciple who was to betray Jesus remarked, 5 "This perfume could have been sold for three hundred silver coins and turned over to the poor.“ 6 Judas, indeed, had no concern for the poor; he was a thief and as he held the common purse, he used to help himself to the funds. 7 But Jesus spoke up, "Leave her alone. Was she not keeping it for the day of my burial? 8 (The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.)" John 12:1-8 Jesus is Anointed by a Woman ❑ In Luke 7:36-50, An anonymous but sinful woman anoints Jesus' feet while he is eating in the house of an anonymous Pharisee, who complains not about the waste of the ointment, but that Jesus allows a sinful woman to touch him. In response, Jesus talks about love and forgiveness, not about his own death.
