He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward (Matthew 10:41).
..So, what is a prophet's reward? What you get by acknowledging, believing and receiving the person and gift of a prophet. A prophet brings word, etc. from God... He/she cannot give what they do not have. However, they sure have something to give; and you get that if you receive them, and sometimes ONLY if you receive them with what they bring.
.. Ditto for the case of the righteous man, but then even beyond!
How about receiving a son in the name of a son? Evidently, a son's reward is for grabs! What does a son have? Everything of his father's: image, access to the father, freedom/liberty, audacity/boldness, the father's name and influence, assets and investment, responsibility, authority, inheritance, legacy...
Well, how about this? A son carries the Father's DNA. He has the inherent ability to replicate all the father is; he is the father's seed. The power of creativity and innovation of his father is resident in him. He is the express expression of his father, and much more.
OK then. Simply put. If you receive Jesus as just a prophet, you will have access to benefits and blessings attached to that. Also, if you receive Him as just a righteous man, of course you will be able to harvest all that come with that as well.
But then if you receive Him as the Son, whom He truly is... You will have legal access to all that He has as the Son of the Most High, because you will also become a son of the Most High!
..But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12).
For ye have not received the spirit of bo***ge again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ... (Romans 8:15-17).
Hallelujah!
Happy New month!
