Our Lord Yahshua was God upon the earth in the flesh, He looked no different than you and I, yet He was so much more than mere man. At a very young age our Lord was not as other children, as we read when His father and mother searched for Him, they found Him in the temple listening and asking questions. Even though Joseph and Mary were His parents He said “How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?”

We clearly see here that our Lords mission upon the earth was not a life lived for Himself, but to fulfill the will of His Father!

He was so much more than a carpenter’s son and although His own rejected Him, His power remains in the earth to this day by the Holy Spirit He promised to send to all who would follow Him. ( Matthew 13:54-58 ) And when He was come into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brethren James, and Joses, an Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they we offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

In the life of us the believer we appear as just the brothers and sisters of a family we were born into. Scripture teaches that when we are born again we become a member of a spiritual family the world does not recognize ( Matthew 12:48-50) But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

To this day the Lord looks on the heart of man and not at the outward appearance as man does, and because of this man misses out on seeing who one truly is and not the superficial person many present themselves to be ( 1 Samuel 16:7 ) But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
