Who Was Crucified Philippians2:5-8; Acts20:28
Today, a little over a week before the date we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let us consider an aspect of the miracle that took place in Bethlehem that made possible our salvation. God took on the form of man to accomplish what could be accomplished by no other means.
GOD IS:

JESUS IS MAN (FULLY)
- Born Of Woman – Particularly A Virgin
- Seed of woman Genesis 3:15 Uniting God And Humanity To be born without sin
- Humanity inherits sin nature from first father, Adam >>> Christ did not descend from Adam Luke1:35
- Born >>> grew >>> increased in wisdom (Luke2:40) Hunger / thirst / physical weakness / lost human life Mind >>> obeyed parents / increased in wisdom / things he did not know “of that day…not even the son…” Mark 13:32 Emotions >>> sorrow / wept / marveled (at faith) People saw his humanity
- Always did what pleased Father John8:29 Yet, he knew temptation [Winning weight lifter knows the weight better than those who tried and failed]

- Omnipotent >>> calms storms / multiplies food to feed thousands / turns water into wine Omniscient >>> Nathaniel under fig tree / Knew what was in men’s hearts / Knew who would betray Omnipresent >>> not between manger and cross >>> However: Promised “there am I” Matthew 18:20; “I am with you always…” 28:20 Immortal >>> “I will raise it (temple/his body) up again” John2:19; I lay down my life… no one takes it” John10:17-18 Worthy of worship >>> Philippians 2:9; Hebrews 1:6 Sovereign >>> “I say unto you” vs “Thus sayeth the Lord”; Reveals the Father to whomever he chooses Matthew 11:27; All authority/ power in heaven and earth Matthew 28:18
