Jesus was the first to properly exegesis the heavenly Father. Thus, after asking Judith (my wife) to help me with a title for this book, she came up with the idea of including the word exegesis in the title for this book. Exegesis by definition mean critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially of Scriptures. However, exegesis is the Greek compound ek, which means out-of, that is something having its origin within that something; and hegeomai, which means, to lead. Therefore, Jesus was the first to lead us to the Father out-of the Scripture. Thus, we are to be careful not to do the opposite of eisegesis the Scriptures. That is, we are to be careful not to read what we want into the Scriptures to make them say what we think it should say, rather than what is being revealed by the Lord out-of the Scriptures. I am reminded of an encounter our Lord Jesus had with a lawyer who had some questions about the Scriptures; and I remember the manner in which Jesus responded to the lawyer. Our Lord's response was very instructive. Jesus enlightened the lawyer (and us) by indicating that the Scriptures are only understood properly based on how they are read. Luke 10:25-26: 25And, be-perceiving, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26He said towards him, what is written in the law? How are you reading? Thus, for many of the words used in the Scripture I wanted to follow the pattern set by our Lord Jesus who declared (exegesis) the Father; by applying the exegesis principle to the Word of God. That is, this publication contains a reading-out of some of the Greek compounds used in the original texts. For example, the Greek word translated gospel is the Greek compound euaggelion (eu (good, well) and aggello (to bring a message). Thus, an exegesis of this word is good-message. In addition some words, like one of the Greek word for healing, (therapeuo) is transliterated as therapy-served; because this word expresses both being served and therapy, or, a servant (therapist) as used of Moses in Hebrews 3:5.
