A VERY WEALTHY MAN - PART I
John 1:38-39 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? [39] He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
(A different circumstance)
He (The Holy Ghost) shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you!
John 14:21-26 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. [22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? [23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. [25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. [26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Take heed to yourselves
Watch ye therefore, and pray always!
Luke 21:34-38 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. [35] For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
[36] Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
He (Jesus The Christ)
[37] And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. [38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
Therefore, Jesus Christ was a wealthy man!
According to John 1:38-39; Jesus must have dwelt in a big house, for all of the disciples and the other company they had with them (followers).
Wise men followed the Star in the east
and presented unto Him gifts!
Matthew 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. [9] When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. [10] When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
WISE men and Kings came bearing Christ (wealthy) gifts giving them to the Baby Jesus The Christ!
Later,
at the Crucifixion of Christ on the cross!
Also, at the Crucifixion of Christ on the cross, Jesus had a priceless robe; Matthew 27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
They cast lots for Christ robe: Matthew 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
John 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
The reason they cast lots for the robe was there were NO seams in the
garment
(it was all a one piece garment and was considered to be very expensive).
Matthew 27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Luke 23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
John 19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
John 19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
[gorgeous]
Greek: lampros (GSN-2986), shining, brilliant. It was a white robe, the same kind worn by candidates for office in Rome. As a gift from Herod it was intended to mock our Lord as a claimant of the kingdom. Herod found no cause of death in Him, so we have a second record and public attestation of His innocence. Thus the civil rulers of both Galilee and Judea were in accord that He was innocent and should not be put to death. But divine providence had already decreed that He should die for the sins of the people—the very people that kept demanding His life until Pilate finally gave in and turned Him over to be crucified.
Additional Further Factual Truths
About Jesus The Christ:
(A very Wealthy Man)
Jesus had two Fathers, one was a Carpenter named Joseph and The Other is The Spirit Father (God Almighty John 4:24; Gen. 28:3, 35:11; Psalms 2:7; Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5, Hebrews 5:5; Rev. 4:8, Rev. 16:4, Rev. 21:22) which is also physical! Whereas, God Almighty Adopted Jesus and Jesus then became “The Christ,” (interpretation is “The Anointed One”), thereby and therewith giving Jesus The Christ “His” (God’s) own Family name thereby calling Him (Jesus) The “Son OF God..”
Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hebrews 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Definitions of the word begotten shown below!
Verb = begotten
1. (esp. of a male parent) to procreate or generate (offspring).
2. to cause; produce as an effect: (a belief that power begets power).
gennao, Greek 1080, Strong’s
gennao, ghen-nah'-o; from a variation of Greek 1085 (genos); to procreate (properly of the father, but by extension of the mother); figurative to regenerate : bear, beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender, make, spring.
Further explanations!
Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
This refers to the incarnation when the second person of the Divine Trinity took a human body to redeem (Phil. 2:5-11; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6). It was when God had a Son through Mary (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:35; John 1:14). This happened on a certain day: "This day have I begotten thee" (Hebrews 1:5-7). Therefore, we cannot say that God had a Son before this time. This proves that sonship in connection with God had to refer to humanity and not to deity.
As God, the person we now know of as Jesus the Christ (the man, previously before being born into flesh and was called Rev. 22:16 (“The Bright and Morning Star”) had no beginning, was not begotten, was not previously a Son, and did not come into being. He always existed as An Angel of God Hebrews 1:8; Rev. 22:16). As a man, He had a beginning. He was begotten of God but not necessarily, at the same time Mary gave birth to Him. Eternity has no beginning, so if He has been God (as such) from eternity, then He could not have a beginning as God Himself. Eternity has no reference to time, so when He was begotten "this day," then it was done in the invisible (Spirit) realm (sense) and not necessarily in actual time.
The word Son supposes time, generations, father, mother, beginning, and conception—unless one is a son by creation, as Adam (Luke 3:38), and angels (Job 1:6; Job 2:1; Job 38:7; Genesis 6:1-4). Time, creation, and beginning, are opposites to God and eternity and are absolutely impossible to reconcile with them. If sonship refers to deity, not to humanity, then this person of the Deity had a beginning in time and not a beginning in eternity. It is plainly stated in Psalm 2:7; Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5; Hebrews 5:5 that God had a Son "this day" and not in eternity. It is stated in Hebrews 1:5-7; Luke 1:35; Matthew 1:18-25 when this took place. It was nearly 2,000 years ago. It had been predicted that God would have a Son (Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 1:5; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:32-35). This was fulfilled when the virgin conceived "of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 1:20), not at any other time. It is plainly stated that Jesus was "the only begotten of the Father" (John 1:14, 18; John 3:16-18; 1 John 4:9).
“At that time”
Christ (before He was named “Jesus The Christ” or Immanuel, Emmanuel),
He was named or called
The Bright and Morning Star!
[before the world
was]
Before the World was!
John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
A plain reference to His self-emptying (Phil. 2:7, notice).
Philip. 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: {[His (God’s) own family name, God!]}
Here He refers to three experiential states:
1. Eternal pre-existence (Micah 5:1-2; John 1:1-2; Rev. 1:8, 11; Rev. 2:8; Rev. 22:13; Col. 1:15-18)
2. Earthly self-emptying (Luke 2:40,52; John 1:14; Phil. 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:3-9; Hebrews 2:9-18; Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 5:7)
3. Restored glory (John 17:5; Matthew 28:18; Ephes. 1:20-23; Phil. 2:9-11; 1 Peter 3:22; Hebrews 12:2; Rev. 3:21)
Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he
had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto
him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in
that he feared;
[Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up
prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able
to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared]
Eight Facts about
Christ
1. His sufferings were in the days of His flesh on earth (Hebrews 5:7).
2. He prayed with supplications, strong crying and tears to God (Hebrews 5:7).
3. He prayed to be saved from death, not from death on the cross, for He was not saved from this.
4. He was heard and saved from death at the hands of satanic powers which tried to kill Him in the garden of Gethsemane before He could get to the cross where He was to fulfill prophecy and complete the atonement (notice Matthew 26:39; notice Luke 22:43-44; 1 Peter 2:24; Galatians 3:13).
5. He learned obedience by His sufferings. (If He was already God The Father, who would He obey or be in submission to?)
6. He was made perfect by His sufferings.
7. He was perfected in all manner of His suffering; He provided atonement for all and became the author of eternal salvation for all who obey Him repenting of their sins and confessing Him as their Lord and Saviour faithfully.
8. He was called by God to be an high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus The Christ:
Was and still is a
very wealthy Man to have a Heavenly Father that could, would and did raise Him
back to life again!
Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the
people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye
crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man
stand here before you whole. {Jesus The Christ provided healing in the atonement
for all that will believe, repent and accept Him as their Lord and Saviour}
Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the
dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
[being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him]
What was it about Christ that died? Only His physical body (James 2:26). Then this is what was resurrected to die no more. Death will have no more dominion over His body. This proves that Christ was resurrected physically, not as a spirit.
[body without the spirit is dead]
Only the body dies at the time of physical
death. This is caused by the soul and
spirit leaving the body. The body returns to dust and the soul and spirit of
the righteous go to heaven to await the resurrection (2 Cor. 5:8; Phil.
1:21-24; Hebrews 12:23; Rev. 6:9-11).
The soul and spirit of the wicked go to hell to await the resurrection
(Luke 16:19-31; Isaiah 14:9; Rev. 20:11-15).
The soul and spirit are spiritual and immortal. They cannot go back to dust
Faith
and the body
James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without
works is dead also.
[so faith without works is dead also]
Just as surely as the inner man leaves the body at physical death and is no longer with the body, so faith without works is dead (separated) and is powerless.
Twenty-five Proofs
of the Immortality of the Soul
1. The hidden man of the heart is not corruptible (is immortal, 1 Peter 3:4).
2. Hell from beneath is moved to meet thee at thy coming (Isaiah 14:9-11).
3. They have eternal life (John 3:15-16; John 6:54, 58; John 17:2-3).
4. They are passed from death unto life (John 5:24; John 6:40, 47).
5. He shall live forever (John 6:51).
6. They shall never perish (John 10:28).
7. They shall never die (John 11:25-26).
8. Man is not able to kill the soul (Matthew 10:28; Luke 12:5).

11. In hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments (Luke 16:19-31).
12. All live unto Him (Luke 20:37-38).
13. Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day ... The things which are not seen (the soul and spirit) are eternal (2 Cor. 4:16-18).
14. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8).
15. To depart (die, the inner man leaving the body, James 2:26) is to be with Christ (Phil. 1:21-24).
16. Whether we wake (live) or sleep (die), we shall live with Him (1 Thes. 5:10).
17. You are come unto the spirits of just men and made perfect (Hebrews 12:22-23).
18. The souls of the dead live according to God in the spirit (1 Peter 4:6).
19. He that doeth the will of God abideth forever (1 John 2:17).
20. We know we have passed from death unto life because we love (1 John 3:14-15).
21. God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son (1 John 5:11).
22. He that hath the Son hath life (1 John 5:12; 1 John 2:24-25).
23. Your heart shall live forever (Psalm 22:26).
24. The path of the just shineth more and more unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18).
25. I saw under the altar the souls . . . they cried, saying (Rev. 6:9-11).
[even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit]
Meekness so as not to be provoked by others and a quiet spirit so as not to provoke others.
Three Kinds of
Death in Scripture
1. Physical death—the separation of the inner man from the body (James 2:26)
2. Spiritual death—separation from God because of sin (Ephes. 2:1, 5; Isaiah 59:2; Matthew 8:22; Col. 2:13; 1 Tim. 5:6)
3. Eternal death—eternal separation from God because man chooses to remain separated from God in sin (Matthew 10:28; Matthew 25:41,46; Rev. 2:11; Rev. 14:9-11; Rev. 20:11-15; Rev. 21:8; Rev. 22:15 Isaiah 66:22-24). This is called the second death or second separation from God (Rev. 2:11; Rev. 20:14; Rev. 21:8). Death in all Scripture means separation from the purpose for which one was created, never annihilation or extinction of being.
Please do
NOT Ever forget this!
Physical death is separation of the inner man from the body.
Only the body dies at this time and goes back to dust (Genesis 3:19; James 2:26). The spirit and soul are immortal and are either dead in sins or in possession of eternal life in Christ at the time of physical death. In either case, they continue in consciousness “whether in heaven or hell”
(Luke 12:5; Luke 16:23; Where Are the Dead?).
[quickened us together with Christ]
This is spiritual resurrection from death in trespasses and sins (Ephes. 2:1, 5-6). It is just as definite and complete as physical resurrection (2 Cor. 5:17-18).
[dominion]
Greek: kurieuo (GSN-2961), "lord it over." Used in Romans 6:14; Romans 7:1; Romans 14:9; Luke 22:25; 2 Cor. 1:24; 1 Tim. 6:15. Sin does not "lord it over" the believer in Christ. The believer "lords it over" sin (2 Cor. 10:4-7; Romans 8:13; Col. 3:5-10).
Other proofs that Jesus The Christ
was and still is, a very wealthy Man
It was necessary for someone to carry the money purse (Judas) for Jesus!
Another consideration is the fact that Christ has a very wealthy “God” Father.
