RABBI JESUS PART 5
Matthew 23:10 HCSB
And do not be called masters either, because you have one, the Messiah.

I Corinthians 11:1 APBE
Imitate me just as I also do The Messiah.
Messiah’s Teaching on Being Born Again
John 3:1-6 APBE
1One man of the Pharisees was living there; his name was Nicodemus. He was a leader of the Judeans. 2This man came to Yeshua at night and said to him: "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God, for no man is able to do these miracles that you are doing unless God were with him." 3Yeshua answered and said to him: "Timeless truth I am telling you: If a person is not born again*, it is impossible for that one to see the Kingdom of God." 4Nicodemus said to him: "How can an old man be born? Is it not impossible for him again to enter his mother's womb a second time and be born?" 5Yeshua answered and said to him: "Timeless truth I am telling you: "If a person is not born from water and The Spirit, it is impossible that he shall enter the Kingdom of God. 6 That which is born from flesh is flesh, and that which is born from The Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be surprised that I said to you that all of you must be born again.
1 Peter 1:23 NIV
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
Born again: Born into spiritual life
Born again from the spiritual seed of the Word of God
Seed is the word as in the parable of the sower. “the sower soweth the word”
You are Born again by the spiritual seed of word
You are Born again is born into spiritual life
John 6:63 GW
Life is spiritual. Your physical existence doesn't contribute to that life. The words that I have spoken to you are spiritual. They are life.
John 6:63 NLT
The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
The Life of the flesh is in your natural blood.
Your ability to breathe air is a gift from God
Leviticus 17:11 NLT
for the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the LORD. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life that makes purification possible.
When blood or breath is taken out of you, the physical life departs as well. When you cease to eat physical food you will also vey quickly die.
The life of the spiritual person is the word of God, the blood of Jesus & the Holy Spirit’s Breath
The spiritual born again person has Holy Spirit spiritual breath as a gift of grace.
Romans 8:9 NIV
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
Blood needs seed to reproduce
Blood cannot reproduce by itself
The blood has the ability to sustain but not reproduce life.
Mans life comes from natural seed of the man & the egg of the woman.
We need the natural womb to hold & nurture the natural life as blood begins to flow through the new life.
The physical womb nurtures life.
The spiritual womb nurtures the spiritual life.
Jesus words are spiritual seed and mixes with the spiritual egg of faith. Then the blood of Jesus begins to flow through the new life.
The body of Christ is the spiritual womb that we live, develop and are nurtured in.
JESUS TEACHING AS THE MASTER RABBI WAS:
· “YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN”
Matthew 18: 1-4 NET
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 He called a child, had him stand among them, 3 and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven! 4 Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus said you have to turn around and be born again.
You have to be born out of the womb a second time.
First time a natural womb
Second time a spiritual womb
Luke 18:17 NET
17 I tell you the truth, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
It takes humble childlike faith to receive the kingdom of God
If you place any emphasis on your own merits or good you can’t receive this spiritual kingdom.
If you can’t repent of your sinful ways against God you can’t get into this kingdom.
Romans 3:9-11 NET
9 What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin, 10 just as it is written: “There is no one righteous, 11 there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God.
Romans 3:23 NET
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
John 8:23-24 NET
23 Jesus replied, “You people are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from this world. 24 Thus I told you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
Acts 3:19-20 APBE
19Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out, 20 so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and so that he may send the Messiah appointed for you – that is, Jesus.
John 3:16-21 NET
16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 18 The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. 19 Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. 21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.
Matthew 23:10 HCSB
And do not be called masters either, because you have one, the Messiah.
