When Jesus wanted to teach something, something that was interesting, something that was so deeply Spiritual, he so often chose a subject matter that was in daily use and well understood, and was very easily observed almost daily, to remind the hearers of a Spiritual and a Holy concept. Then let us group together Agricultural concepts that show up in the Bible, and see what we can find. “The Stud,” is a concept well understood in the rural sector, where you have a flock of sheep, a herd of cows, a pigsty full of pigs, even grain and crop farmers want the very best seed, to get the very best crop. Cat, Dog and even Horse breeders, and really all breeders, all they ever want is the very best, to have the highest acclaim, to be sought after, as the first point of call for new blood lines, seed lines, to enhance and to advance the breed, hence you need a stud ram, a stud, bull, a stud horse, you so desperately need “The Stud,” and if you cannot afford to buy him, then you find somebody who will rent him out for a service fee, or you get his semen in a wee tube, you just on do and try almost anything possible you can for you to obtain that superior blood line.
Even a ‘King’ is expected to produce an heir, a good and viable male child, a first born, to keep the royal line going with healthy and perfect progeny. Matthew 1:21-23 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” When we have a ‘New Birth,’ then what genetic origin is it from? John 3:6 “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” Was “The Stud” of heavenly or of an earthly origin, was this birth based on the very best, and of heavenly origin, or was this by some stray Tom Cat that just sneaked on in and left his progeny behind? Satan is always sneaking about, 1 Peter 5:8 [Adapted] “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a substandard stud, walketh about, seeking whom he may mate with:”
What-ever happens to those who ‘Fall Short of the Glory of God,’ those who do not measure up, those who have the impress of the family of evil, those who do not have the superior genetics and breeding and impress of Heaven, well they become the banquet, that lunch, that meal, just a feast for the birds and the beasts of the field to eat them all up, as their breeding is corrupted, they are substandard, totally unfit for the purity of Heaven, they are not of the same heavenly breed or flock, ‘Wheat-Tares,’ ‘Sheep-Goats.’ Revelation 19:18 “That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both small and great.” Nature will feast upon kings and princes, God eliminates all who ever fall short of the Glory of God, any and all those who do not represent his Stud Line, who are not living up to Heaven’s standard. Progeny in the Agricultural Segment, that are not up to the high standard of the blood line, are eliminated, sterilized, fattened up, and then appear on somebody’s diner table, worthless to the purity of “The Stud” blood line.
Jesus, in this concept, is seen as ‘Heavens Stud,’ the absolute best, nothing is better, totally perfect in all his ways, so when our ‘Re-Birth,’ is Godly, Heavenly, then our genetics, our passions, our desires, our everything is Heavenly, we even look like God, everybody can clearly see that we have been sired by ‘The Stud,’ and that our value and worth is off the charts, beyond comprehension, more valuable than any human can afford, we belong to God, we bear the impress of his character, we live and move and have our being, and in our all ways, we clearly represent ‘The Stud,’ Jesus Christ, and God our Heavenly Father. 1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” Matthew 5:8 “Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” Everybody can clearly see when we have been sired by ‘The Stud,’ then our value and worth is off the charts, beyond comprehension, more valuable than any human can afford, we belong to God, perfect in all our ways, genetics spot on, clearly displaying the correct breeding of “The Stud,” Mathew 5:48 “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 3:3-7 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, how can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” Matthew 3:6-7 “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” Is your re-birth, Flesh or Spirit, are you carnal unto death, or spiritual unto life, is your re-birth genetically holy, and ‘Spirit Filled,’ by “The Stud,” or by some other lowly fleshly and of carnal origin??
