Why did Jesus so often talk about being a shepherd? shepherds were not beloved. they had a dirty job.He is the son of a carpenter..or tekton. Builder. SO,,, we then can see the references to rock.There was very little wood in Israel. Lots of rock.
Shepherds Abel Abraham Isaac Jacob/Isael sons of Jacob Joseph. Kept the animals for his jailer. Moses and lest we forget the shepherds attended the birth of Jesus. not the wise men.. they came later. the reviled and poor of Israel attended His birth. Who had gentile brides? Joseph Moses Judah ( if you accept that Tamar was not Jewish, she knew the laws, at least, and did not have children by the sons of the Canaanitish woman. directly had Judah's children.) Boaz Who was rejected by the Jews? Moses. Who later took a gentile bride? Moses Who was rejected by the Jews? Jesus. Who has now taken a gentile bride (the church)? Jesus Even our existence was predicted.. and was supposed to clue the Jews in on who their Messiah was. We are grafted in, a gentile bride, because of the love of Jesus, His death and resurrection. |
