THE MAN - GOD!! - Part 2 of 3

Part 2
Now let's take a look at the SON JESUS!

He was GOD in flesh form! (St. John 1:1) "“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (vs 14) "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us”!

(2 Corinthians 5:19) "To wit (know), that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself."

(Philippians 2:5-8) "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men, and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross"!

Jesus, “being in the form of God”, is not in reference to body figure, but morphe - meaning he had the very nature of his Father!! “And being found in fashion as a man” means the same circumstances and conditions that surrounds and confronts mankind, which he did experience but conquered it all!

Hebrews 4:15 “For we have not an high priest which cannot be (or was not) touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points (spirit, soul, mind, and body) tempted like as we are, yet without sin”. Because he conquered and overcame, so can we. We are MORE THAN CONQUERORS and SHALL overcome HERE - not up yonder!

Remember, Jesus is the IMAGE of the INVISIBLE GOD! He is not God's IMAGE just because of the flesh aspect, but because he was God's representative, his delegate or agent manifesting his power in a FLESH BODY!

With Adam (male & female), God created them! He didn't create Jesus; he caused him to be! In Galatians 4:4, he was “made of a woman"!

God caused him to be generated (produced, arise, come into being) through the womb of a woman! Luke 1:31 "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS”! (vs 35) "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God"! That holy thing was that logos, that SOMETHING SAID came forth in FLESH form! What was said? "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel”, interpreted to mean God with us! (Isaiah 7:14)! Glory to God!!!

Jesus coming in flesh form caused the INVISIBLE GOD to become VISIBLE!! The Adam people also made God VISIBLE in flesh form; yet when Jesus appeared, that was the body prepared to die as a man to restore mankind or the creation back to God! (2 Corinthians 5:19)!

Jesus was the MAN GOD!!!

A good example of this is a molecule! Webster defines a molecule as the simplest structural unit into which a substance can be divided and still retain its identity! That's what God did! He put on FLESH as a man, but he still retained his identity as GOD!!

I'm just reminded of what he said in Isaiah 45:5, "I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me."

OUR GOD IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

We've looked at the Spirit God and God in the Son. The third segment next week will entail God In You, the Church!
