Now all this took place to fulfill the words spoken by the Lord through the prophets:
The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and they will call him Immanuel. - Matt. 1:22-23 - He has taken on a form in which He can be seen, experienced, and understood by us as human beings. - John 1:4, 18 - Jesus reveals God to us perfectly since in His human life He is the image of God, - 2Cor. 4:4 - exhibiting full likeness with the Father. Jesus' godhood in His manhood is the key to our intimate knowledge of God.
This does not mean, however, that Jesus' humanity is only a display case for His divinity. Jesus lived out His human life by experiencing all the pressures, temptations and limitations that we experience. - Heb.2:18; 4:15; 5:2-8 - Jesus was a pioneer, showing in practical terms the full meaning and possibility of human life, lived in obedience to God. In this respect, Jesus is the second Adam, - Rom. 5:14-15 - marking a new beginning for the human race.
His full humanity is also the basis on which it is possible for Him to represent us - indeed, take our place - in dying for us. When He ascended to His Father after His resurrection, Jesus left behind some of the human restrictions experienced during His earthly life. His incarnation did not come to an end with His ascension. Jesus took His resurrected body with Him back to heaven. - Luke 24:51; Acts 1:9 - In heaven now He is our divine Lord, and the great High Priest who is faithful and merciful.
That is why all you who are holy brothers and have had the same heavenly call should turn your minds to Jesus, the apostle and the high priest of our religion. He was faithful to the one who appointed him............................... And we are his house, as long as we cling to our hope with the confidence that we glory in . - Heb. 3:1-6 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!
I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.
HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
