A
depiction of Jesus and a 7 branch-menorah
Today,
reply is on Christian definitions and meaning for words used by Jesus
Christ to characterize and reveal the nature of his ministry on the
earth. Jesus did not intend to spark controversy by his doctrine and
ministry that was begun in the form of his regular reading from the
Torah within the synagogue on the Sabbath day. Jesus attended and
observed the traditional feasts and festivals required of those first
in birth order, who were the primary heir within each household. As
surely as he knew of Moses and Joshua as the law and the sword for
Israel, he acknowledged the contributions by King David, King
Solomon, and the Maccabees. It is written: John 10: 22-33, King
James Version (KJV): 22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the
dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in
Solomon’s porch. 24 Then came
the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make
us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus
answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do
in my Father’s name, they bear
witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my
sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know
them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and
they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than
all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my
Father’s hand. 30 I and my
Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my
Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews
answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

How
true is this?
When
Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the
world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have
the light of life.”
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of
Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of
the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit
of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And
shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD:
and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove
after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge
the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he
shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the
breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall
be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
(Isaiah 11: 1-5, KJV)

among mature Christian believers, otherwise common language and
secular words must be used to convey sacred meanings and divine
values within a closed system of full belief. The words “darkness”,
“light” and “life” address the attributes, principles,
properties, process, and substance provided by divine fullness (we
also say, divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy
Spirit). Included are balance, completeness, direction, existence,
eternal purpose, divine prerogative, and the sovereign will of GOD.
The language of mature Christians is very different than that for
others who answer to fables, fiction, mythology, spiritual confusion,
superstition, and the occult.
Mankind
has been endowed with life essence (i.e., breath; spirit;
word) imparted from the makeup of GOD, and is to display divine
content. Inseparable aspects of divinity (we say, the image of GOD;
Christ-likeness) should appear including faith, holiness,
longsuffering, lovingkindness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against
sin. Just as light detected through our sense organ, the eye, may be
understood as a condition that allows awareness and perception of
material objects and things physically present, light as sacred
guidance and truth manifesting divinity allows apprehension and
consciousness of things that are invisible and remote in time (e.g.,
past, future), yet, are eternal and unchanging such as sacred law and
the divine order appearing as the universe.
Christians
are to resemble, reflect, and reveal the character of Jesus Christ
that correctly makes visible the opportunities and possibilities for
multiple living relationships between and among the Creator and the
created. Consider again the following that uses language from the
Bible, and a selection from the music ministry of Marty Goetz:
(1.)
Isaiah 8: 20, King James Version (KJV): 20 To the law and to the
testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is
because there is no light in them.
(2.)
Psalms 119: 104-106, KJV: 104 Through thy precepts I get
understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 105 Thy word is
a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106 I have sworn, and
I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
(3.)
John 6: 63, KJV: 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are
spirit, and they are life.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended (for example, (4.)

Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
