THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 437

If JESUS the Christ was not God manifest in flesh, then when, as the scriptures state, did God visit us? And when was the God who made the world in the world? JESUS was the offspring of the Holy Spirit inasmuch as JESUS was the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. For both SEEDS were of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the embryo was God. No other one was involved. God Himself coming forth from the innermost being of the Holy Spirit, coming forth in a fashion as a man to become man’s only redeemer and Saviour.

This explains why the embryo of God at Calvary was not to be punished. The embryo was not of Adam’s sin prone race, and therefore as a consequence could not be punished. It also explains why not one bone of JESUS' body was to be broken at Calvary. As outlined in the scriptures, JESUS' blood which was the blood of the Holy Spirit was to be shed - yes - but not punished. Only the sin prone Adam veil of flesh was to carry the weight of the punishment for all sin.

The two SEEDS of the Holy Spirit which travelled down through the ages (as recorded in Matthew and Luke) are what is known as the ‘fullness of time’ to be brought together in the womb of one of Abraham’s natural offspring, whose name was Mary. In Mary’s womb, the embryo of God was nourished and grew in fashion as man. Of course, Mary’s womb was incapable of producing anything other than a body of sin prone flesh.

Still, God had not become another person. Being the offspring of the Holy Spirit, God condescended to become as one of us for the purpose of our redemption and salvation. We already know that there was no other means whereby man could be saved. As it is written, JESUS said I have come to destroy the works of the devil.

Further, God’s Word being God is unchangeable. It was God in the beginning who made known that it would be the SEED coming forth from a woman that would bruise the serpent’s head (devil‘s power and authority). JESUS came forth from a woman being the SEED of Promise ‘God with us’ and in that SEED will all the nations people be blessed!

For God to accomplish man's redemption and salvation meant that God would sacrifice His life as a Son. The scale of justice then being satisfied inasmuch as one man’s disobedience brought about man’s separation from God. Therefore, if a righteous man who did not sin were to lay down His life as payment, then the scales of justice would be in equilibrium! Is this starting to make sense?

JESUS is God manifest in the flesh -- the same God who laid down His life for us! He alone is the only entry door to restored fellowship with God! Ask the Lord into your life today! God Bless You All!
