THE BACKGROUND
OF YESHUA
Referring to his parents: “im du writing dem tel im fiduâ
Reporting on his person: “Jiizas gruo op big. Im did brait an av not sens.â
On his social and spiritual formation: “God did api wid
wa im a du an di piipl dem did api tu.â
There is something autonomous about the background of this Yeshua whom they scandalised. He evidently did not drop down from the sky as a saviour, but grew up with his feet on the ground, his hand passing the nails, washing his face, feet and hands in the morning â no angels did that for him. Friends and family and synagogue/church were his routine; hurt and happiness shaped him; and deprivation and domination surrounded him. Obviously these things were integrated into his personality and his conversation with God, and Godâs bonding with him in his consciousness. He would later tell his villagers these words from Hebrew prophets. “Godâs Spirit has come to me, because he has chosen me to tell the good news to the poorâ¦â His call is anti or trans imperial. As we continue to investigate Yeshua in our next report, I want to probe how he looks at “the poor,â Godâs people, and the Empireâs agents.
