His Burden-His Shoulders

Those Who Receive The One Who Saves Us Out of All Our Troubles!!
Lost Sheep Who Find The Higher Than The Skies Love For the Good Good Shepherd Who Lack No Good Thing!!

Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel in the order of their birth—six names on one stone and the remaining stone on the other.
Mount the stones in gold filigree setting and fasten them on the shoulders pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Exodus 28: 9-10 & 12

Reading this I asked the Lord why did He put the names of the Israelites on the shoulders of the priests.
For every detail God put in the Bible has a deeper meaning for us.

It’s because God wanted us to know, to see, to remember, that the Jewish Priests of the Lord, that the Jewish people were carrying a great weight on their shoulders.
Bearing the burden of leading the World to the One True God.
That it was put on their shoulders.
Bearing the burden to be the examples of what God required of all people for salvation.
That the world will build their faith on what they showed us of the One True God.
That this all comes from the 12 tribes, of Israel.
That this is a yoke, they have worn from Genesis until now.
So God has lifted them up, put them on shoulders of the High Priest as memorial for all to remember, before they even fulfilled this purpose.
To give them hope.
To make sure that they would know they are remembered for all that they would and did go through bearing this burden.
That all people know that their people—the Jewish People— shouldered so much of the suffering in this life, to reveal the One True God and the Only Way To Him, through the Jewish Messiah—Yeshua, Jesus Christ—and His Suffering.

That even when Jesus left to Heaven alive, to be with our Father God, it was still the Jewish people, Israel leading the world to the One True Messiah, Savior of mankind.
That all the 12 apostles that spread the truth of the Jewish Messiah around the world— after Jesus came out of the grave alive— were Jewish.
So they all have the same roots, the same basis, the 12 Tribes of Israel.
That these 12 apostles bore the burden, the yoke of spreading the new message, the message of Jesus’s completion of the law, to the whole world since then.
First with their lives, then their actions, and their mouths.
Then with what they wrote that became the Bible.

Now Jesus the Messiah is the True High Priest.
So really these shoulders of stones, were meant for Him to wear.
That He, the rock uncut by human hands, comes from the Jewish line.
That all would see these stones and remember His heritage.
That all would see these stones and remember the faithfulness of God to this people group.
That all would see these stones and remember how God delivered them from their enemies.
That all would see these stones and remember how God fought their battles over and over and over again.
That all would see these stones and remember this ancient people group is still here, still thriving because of the faithfulness of God.
That we would see these stones and believe in the faithfulness and the power of the Jewish Messiah to save us, to provide for us, just like He did for them.

Jesus the Messiah tells us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
For He is the True High Priest.
So God putting these stones of the 12 Tribes on His shoulders means He is the one shouldering the weight.
That He was the one coming to bear the true weight of saving all people from our sinful, nature, given to us by Adam and Eve.
That He would be the one to bear the weight for all peoples salvation.
Jesus bearing the weight of living a humbled perfect life and choosing to die in the most painful way to save all of mankind.
That He would come from the Jewish line.
But that it was His burden, His yoke to wear.
That He would do this for us, all people Jew and Gentile.

And when we have believed and received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, He is the one who bears the weight through us, for us.
For He will be living inside us.
That He will be the power, the love, the sound mind in us.
That He will bear the weight on His shoulders to change us.
That He will bear the weight on His shoulders to grow us.
That He will bear the weight on His shoulders to heal us.
That He will bear the weight on His shoulders to lead and guide us.
That He will bear the weight on His shoulders to give us the inspiration, the right motivation to want to follow Him and His ways.
That He will bear the weight on His shoulders to empower us, to strengthen us, to do all that He has called us to do.
That He will bear the weight on His shoulders to give us and provide us the opportunities to use the gifts and talents He gave us to accomplish His purposes for us.
For He bore the weight on His shoulders to pay for our eternal healing and then to call us to this free gift.

May we know that we know that we know God is merciful giving credit, acknowledging all that His chosen people, the examples for all mankind, all they have gone through, seen and experienced with Him for all time, that they be appreciated for all their sufferings and trials for humanities blessings, knowing the One True God, and finding His perfectly wonderful Son, the Jewish Messiah.

May we know that we know that we know Jesus is the High Priest who bore the ultimate suffering on His shoulders for all people that we would receive what He did, that we would have eternal life in the only Kingdom that will last.

May we know that we know that we know when we receive Our Beautiful Jewish Messiah who lived, died and rose again for all people, that He then becomes our yoke bearing, weight of the world bearing, able to shoulder every burden Lord, Savior and King.
