Hello to you,
Yesterday, decided to look up some of the scriptures that deal with the Spirit of Christ, which has been talked about all the way back start in the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament, and even in Ephesians which was a letter Paul wrote to those people there in Ephesus. If you have anything you would like to share please feel free to comment if you would like.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Divine,
In Isaiah 11:2 the writer says The Spirit of Yahweh will rest on him - the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel, and of might, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of Yahweh.
There is a lot here to unpack, I do believe this is talking about the Spirit of the LORD, resting on him (Jesus) when the Word was sent and became flesh. The writer goes on to say that perhaps of this spirit or another Spirit of wisdom and understanding, of counsel, and might, even the Spirit of knowledge and fear of Yahweh. Fear itself, is in lowering ones self down in humbleness to an awe powerful holy good God. However, all of these things would encumber the Lord Jesus Christ, as he walked upon the earth.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Wise,
Isaiah 11:3 and he will delight in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears by his ears;
Fear again here, means to throw oneself down toward, seeing them as authority in ones life. This is a wise thing to do, and what Jesus had done through out his life living here on earth. He delighted in the fear of Yahweh, standing in front of the Devil, being tempted until the Devil had left Jesus for a short while. It also seems that He would not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears by his ears. What does that mean to you?
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Just and Fearless,
Isaiah 11:4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breathe of his lips he will slay the wicked.
By the Spirit - with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breathe of his lips he will slay the wicked. I believe that Jesus being the very (Word of God), when he speak of the things, that the Father had lead him to say to others around him, it slayed and divided the souls of people due to the word of God being like a two-edged sword, (Hebrews 4:12). Which of course is by hearing the things pertaining to God. Your thoughts on this?
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Faithful,
Isaiah 11:5 Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.
All through Jesus's life he was righteous, and faithful towards Yahweh.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Tender,
Isaiah 40:11 He tends his flock like a shepherd He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Quiet,
Isaiah 42:2 He will not shout or cry out or raise his voice in the streets.
Compared to our fleshly nature, as people like to shout or cry out in rage, some shout out or cry our in sadness, grief and hurt. It is said here, that by the Spirit, Jesus would not shout, or cry our, or raise his voice in the streets. It is a huge contrast from the flesh, and how it is, and how one can be by and through the Spirit of Christ?
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Gentle
Isaiah 42:3 A bruised reed he will not break, and smoldering wick he will not snuff out, in Faithfulness he will bring forth justice unto truth.
The gentleness of not breaking a bruised reed, or allowing a smoldering wick to smolder, and leave it to be put out on it's own time. In faithfulness he I believe speaking about Jesus when he would come down to earth sent by God as the Word of God, would bring forth justice, completely in faith towards Yahweh his Father, who is our Father.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Preserving,
Isaiah 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgement in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
The Spirit of Christ was foretold that He shall not fail, or be discouraged; till the appointed time of judgement - and the isles shall wait for his law, (Christ Law) (New Covenant; Hebrews 8). Can we also ask for help in overcoming, discouragement from failing, to our Father in heaven by the help of the Spirit?
The Spirit of Christ is said to be, Liberating,
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of Yaweh is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and the opening of the prison, to them that are bound.
I believe this has to do with the Lord, and what the Spirit of Yahweh leads a person to do - just as Jesus did, to proclaim good news to the poor, by sharing the news of the kingdom with other people when you are given that chance lead by the spirit, to question and talk with the other. Because of this, He has able to bind up those who have broken hearts, and those who are captive in their own prisons, he comes to proclaim freedom to them in having rest for the soul looking towards heavenly matters, than this problems we experience here for a short period of time.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be compassionate,
Matthew 9:36 When he (Jesus) saw the crowds had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
You see here the action that Jesus had taken on the crowds, who were harassed and helpless - He seen them as a like a sheep without a shepherd and He was wanting to give them rest.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be meek and lowly,
Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly, humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
As mentioned earlier, Jesus desires for people to learn from him, and to take upon them the yoke of Christ - as they yoked cows together with wooden boards. To learn from Him, because he is gentle and lowly, humble in heart, and with these things you will find rest for your soul.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be Long-suffering,
Luke 9:55-56 But Jesus turned and rebuked them then he and his disciples went to another village.
Jesus's disciples here asked if he wanted them to rain down hell fire, on a village, and Jesus tells them here, by turning and rebuking him, the the would rather they live longer and perhaps they will will repent. This is what is is for us dealing with other human beings - to live by the spirit, and to allow people to have their own thoughts, opinions, and questions when it comes down to the things of God. God desires for them to come to them, perhaps it takes a little time.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be forgiving,
Luke 23:34 Jesus said, "Father forgiven them, for they do not know what they are doing and they divide up his clothes by calling lots.
Even as Jesus Christ was upon the cross, dying by his own decision to give up his life for the Father, and for the world, he asked his Father to forgive them. Such an important lesson for us as human beings to forgive each other.
The Spirit of Christ is said to Zealous,
Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
Jesus with the Holy Spirit, and power ; anointed by God; went around doing good and healing all of those under the power of the devil because God was with here, here you can see the zealous acts of Christ, being lead by his Father, through the Spirit in which many people were healed because of them.
The Spirit of Christ is said to be burden-bearing,
Galatians 6:2 Carry each others burdens and in this way you will fulfills the law of Christ.
Here, Paul suggest for us to carry each others burdens - to fulfill the law of Christ by doing so. Jesus had to bear the burden of not only all the people he came in contact with, he also had to bear the burden of death on behalf of the people in the world, once on the cross. It seems that the Spirit is able to help us in doing such things when it comes to our daily social active lives.
The last thing here is the Spirit of Christ is said to be Loving,
Ephesians 5:2 And walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and give himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.
