Who Is Christ 05

Christ As A Human

CHRIST’S BIRTH:

Isaiah 7:
    14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:
    20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

    21 And she shall bring forth a son,and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

    22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

    23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child,and shall bring forth a son,and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Luke 1:
    26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

    27 To a virginespoused to a man whose name was Joseph,of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

    28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

    29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

    30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.

    31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,and shalt call his name JESUS.

    34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

    35 And the angel answered and said unto her, 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.

Galatians 4:
    4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,made under the law,

CHRIST’S LINEAGE:

Luke 1:
    35 And the angel answered and said unto her, 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 theeshall be called the Son of God.

Luke 1:
    31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,and shalt call his name JESUS.

    32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest;and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

    33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacobfor ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Galatians 4:
    4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,made under the law,

    5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Hebrews 2:
    17 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

Romans 1:
    3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

CHRIST BECAME FLESH:

John 1:
    1 IN the beginning was the Word,and the Wordwas with God, and the Word was God.

    2 The same was in the beginning with God.

    3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

    4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

    14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

    15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

Romans 8:
    3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

1 Timothy 3:
    16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Hebrews 2:
    14 Forasmuch then asthe children are partakers of flesh and blood,he alsohimself likewise took part of the same;that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

1 Peter 3:
    18 For Christalso hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh,but quickened by the Spirit:

Romans 1:
    3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

CHRIST IN THE LIKENESS:

Romans 8:
    3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Sonin the likeness of sinful flesh,and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Philippians 2:
    5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

    6 Who, being in the form of God,thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

    7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant,and wasmade in the likeness of men:

    8 And being found in fashion as a man,he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Hebrews 2:
    17 Wherefore in all things it behoved himto be made like unto his brethren,that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

CHRIST’S EXPERIENCES:

Matthew 4:
    2 And when he had fastedforty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

John 4:
    6 Now Jacobs well was there. Jesus therefore,being wearied with his journey,sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

John 11:
    35 Jesus wept.

John 19:
    28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

Hebrews 4:
    15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;but was in all points tempted like as we are,yet without sin.

Matthew 8:
    17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities,andbare our sicknesses.

Hebrews. 2:
    18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted,he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Matthew 26:
    38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death:tarry ye here, and watch with me.

Hebrews 12:
    4 Ye have not yetresisted unto blood,striving against sin.

Isaiah 52:
    14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

Matthew 27:
    41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him,with the scribes and elders, said,

    50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

Hebrews 13:
    20 Now the Godof peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

CHRIST WILL ALWAYS BE HUMAN:

Luke 24:
    36 And as they thus spake, Jesushimself stood in the midst of them,and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

    37 But they were terrified and affrighted,and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

    38 And he saidunto them,Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

    39 Behold my hands and my feet,that it is I myself:handle me, and see; for aspirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

    40 And when he had thus spoken,he shewed them his hands and his feet.

    41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

    42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
    43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

    50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands,and blessed them.

    51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

Acts 1:
    11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus,which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

NOTE:
    According to Luke 24:36 through 51 above; Christ, after His resurrection, was still human. Christ had hands, feet, a mouth, flesh, and bones. The disciples could see, hear, and touch Him. Acts 1:11 states that the same Jesus that ascended into heaven would return.

1 John 3:
    2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear,we shall be like him;for we shallsee him as he is.

NOTE:
    If Christ is not in a Spirit form and we are going to be like Him, then we are not going to be in a Spirit form either. We are going to be able to see, feel, smell, hear, walk, talk, think, eat, and much, much more while we are in Heaven. We are really going to be able to enjoy what Jesus has prepared for us there.

John 3:
    16 Godso loved the world, that Hegave His only begotten Son.

NOTE:
    When God gave His Son to us apparently it was not just a loan.
