The Jesus Series (The Incarnation)

This teaching from the Jesus series centers on the incarnation—God becoming flesh in Jesus Christ—to deepen understanding of His person and enable effective witness. The speaker outlines four goals: proving biblically that God became flesh in Jesus, explaining how Jesus is both Son of God and God, detailing the efficacy of the incarnation, and showing its necessity for salvation. It contrasts biblical truth with other religious views, noting that Muslims see Jesus as a prophet, Jews as a teacher, Buddhists as a great teacher, and Jehovah's Witnesses as an angel, emphasizing the importance of accurate belief. Key prophecies like Isaiah 7:14 and 9:6 are cited, foretelling Jesus as "Immanuel" (God with us) and "Mighty God," affirming His deity. Examples from Jesus' life, including worship by the Magi, healing a man blind from birth, and post-resurrection appearances where He is worshipped, further validate His divine identity and mission. The teaching concludes by urging listeners to personally know and confidently witness Jesus to the world.

Welcome to the sermons and teachings from the Catholic fellowship with Ipaii Micah. We hope the message you are about to listen to or edify your uncaused experience exponential growth. And now the message. The artichan series is the Jesus series. And today's teaching is the incarnation. So our teaching in this season is the Jesus series. And today we are going to be studying with the incarnation. So I welcome you all to the Jesus series. And this teaching is structured in such a way that it will help strengthen your conviction about the person of Christ. What you know about him and help you be able to witness Jesus better to the whole of the world. Hallelujah. Everybody's song we had a little meeting till the end of the world. We see his glory, we see his power. And so everything we are learning also is towards that goal. Praise Jesus. Amen. You see it will be wrong for you to claim that Jesus saved you without knowing how he did it or what he did. Or who he is. It would also be wrong for you to claim that you are a follower of Jesus and not know anything about him. Praise Jesus. And so we're going to start today talking about the incarnation. My goal for this teaching I have about four of them. And I'm going to read them out to you. What I believe that at the end of this teaching in particular and maybe the teaching series generally everyone should know. And the first is that I want to prove to you, Biblically, that God became flesh in the person of Jesus. My second goal for this teaching is to answer the question, How can Jesus be the Son of God and yet still be God? And my third goal is to explain the efficacy or the effect and benefits of the incarnation. And lastly, I'm going to explain how the incarnation was necessary for our salvation even though it was not really what God assumed. Did you all get that? So at the end of this teaching series, these four things are said are the things you're going to have to check. Do I have an answer to these four things? And you're in for a good time. Tell us on the comment section or just shout it out and tell us on the say you're in for a great time. Hallelujah! So what is incarnation? What is the incarnation? The incarnation refers to deity becoming humanity or deity becoming flesh and in this situation we're talking about God becoming human. Hallelujah! You see Jesus is a very popular figure in the world today. Sometimes very controversial. Different people have different ideas of who Jesus is. The Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet. So when I was doing this, when I was preparing for this ceremony, I went to Google and I put in who is Jesus. And I got a few responses. So Wikipedia said, Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus was a facetory Jewish preacher and religious leader. He is the central figure of Christianity, the world largest religion. That's an idea of who Jesus is. Another place where I got an answer is Britannica. It's a popular dictionary place where I get like important definitions. And Britannica said, Jesus also called Jesus Christ, Jesus of God, or Jesus of Nazareth is a religious leader revered in Christianity. One of the world's major religions. For some reason I saw one of that. What I said is there are alternate titles of Jesus. And he said, "Issa, which is Issa, Ibn Mariam, that's Issa the son of Mary." And this is an Islamic appellation. So yes, Jesus is revered around the world. If you look at the way these things were defined, it wasn't defined as seeing the easy thing Jesus. It was defined like Jesus, but it was the idea of the Jesus that seemed like, "Okay, good, you guys are getting there, but you don't really know who He is." And so to the Jews, Jesus is just a teacher and he's not God. And most Jews believe that he's not the Messiah. To the Muslims, he was a prophet from God. He was born of a virgin. And he did not die. Rather, he ascended to heaven and is coming back again to defeat the Antichrist. So the Buddhist, he's a great teacher. Many Buddhists want to prove that Jesus and Buddha were friends. And then to the Jew of us witness, Jesus is the best person of God and is the angel, the Archangel Michael. And so you see that he is revered in many regions. But what is known about him? What is believed about him? Matthew chapter 16 and verse 13 everyone. Matthew chapter 16 and verse 13. He says, "When Jesus came into the post of Caesarev Philippi, he asked the disciples saying, "Who do men say that I the Son of man am? What is believed of me?" Yes, a popular. Yes, they've had other things I do. But what do they believe of me? What are the stories that they tell of me? Jesus will not be asking if it wasn't important what you believe about him. I think that again, Jesus will not be asking if it wasn't important what they believed about him. If it was just about the popularity, Jesus will not have been asking. Who do men say that I the Son of man am? What's the story? An inverse 14. This is it. Some say that that one jumped the butt. I think this is the funniest of them all. Because John the butt was alive in Jesus' time. So we would show people see your John the butt. That's shocking. It's a song saying you are an angel as Elijah. It probably doesn't understand evil because according to the scripture there is a prophet see about Elijah which is the God. It's a song saying you are Jerry Meyer or one of the prophets. And just like in that day, in that time also, there were many ideas of who Jesus is. Just like many people think it's just an ordinary prophet. And the scripture is also there but it was an ordinary prophet. Hallelujah. And Jesus asked, who do you say I am? Who do you say I am? Because in matters and I ask you today, who do you say Jesus is? If you are confronted with a question who is Jesus, what would you say? Would you be able to answer? Check in your mind now. I'm asking you the question who is Jesus. What would you say? What would be your answer? Hallelujah. And in this season, where we are particular about an evangelical mindset, it is important that you know Jesus for yourself and you are able to witness him to the world. It's a simple God. Hallelujah. All right. This question I just asked you is one that is very important and you spell the difference between many things. So I told you what the Muslims believe about Jesus right now. And so some of us still say, oh, Christians and Muslims believe the same thing. They are not different. The Josephs are Arabic and English. What is different in matters? Hallelujah. In matters. We read a book called My Book of Bible Stories, remember where you are. That book was written by the Geo-Mas witness. And in that book, Jesus was said to be an angel. You see why in matters? In matters. In matters to Jesus as well. Open your life, who is to Isaiah chapter 7 and verse 14. Isaiah chapter 7 and verse 14. And this is the prophet Isaiah, prophesy in a body child, which is to be born in the future. Verse 14 says, "Then for the Lord Himself shall give you a sign, behold the Virgin shall conceive and bearish on. And shall call His name in Manuel." He says, "Bot and honey shall he eat, that he may not refuse evil and choose good. For which body child shall not refuse evil and choose good, the land shall abore, the land that shall abore shall be forsaken, will have kings. Now there's a lot in that portfolio. eotherapy for these assassin are they all younger I keys a чуть sath na significant busty a noiteat won't have he was describing the repetition that this this veggie will give that to a child and his repetition without God is made manifest in the flesh God with us hallelujah God with what with us as I have chapter nine and verse six he says for once was a child is born I give you some time to open it as I have chapter nine and verse six for once was a child is born out was a son is giving the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called wonderful counselor the mighty God they have harassed father the prince of words of peace he says of the increase of his Godment and peace there shall be no end upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to God diet and he says I'm to establish it with judgment and we just is from henceforth even forever it says the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this so here's another prophecy speaking about someone to come a child who would go on with peace and think about the throne of David and read forever this to ring a bell for those of you who we are here when I told on the stand in the gospel I told you about the prophecies and one of the important prophecies we read in chronicles was speaking about the anointed one that would come who would reign on top of the throne of David forever and it shall be part of the lineage of David that was why it was important for them to check that Jesus was of the line of David so when you are reading the Bible when you read the new Testament that you go to Matthew all those parts you don't read and you're like are they right they name all these things what they name in and these these these these these these these parts you skip it wasn't there for the correction it wasn't there because they are introducing the new things so they are no it was there because the right to have the new the community he was speaking to he was speaking to a Jewish community he's more new the prophecies and the prophecies that he that they had was that the maizeiab which was to come is due to the impone of the line of David as it was important for him to prove the descent of Jesus and show you the family tree for you to understand that Jesus is the son of David is that way are you getting it so from that to you know understanding gospel and if you have time go listen to it I showed you the prophecies and this is one of them is one of such prophecies they are called Messianic prophecies their prophecy is about the Messiah to come and he says he child will be given who will govern and he will rule forever on the turn of David are you with me so even before Jesus came it was prophesied you know Jesus is a master God himself is a master communicator if it's gonna talk to you he's gonna talk to you he's the God I said a bush on fire just to get Moses's attention and it's the same God that he the things that he was gonna reveal at a point that time in the whole testament so he started to communicate with the people his plan about the Messiah from the whole testament this is one of such prophecies preparing them for the coming of the Christ hallelujah he says "A veging will give birth" come to think of it how was that prophecy fulfilled how many veggies are giving birth today do you get it say they shall be a sign I don't understand what he says he shall be a sign and then here he talks about the name again so he says also the child is born the government shall be a one in Shoda and his name shall be called what look at the names their reputation the Appalachian was given to him he says wonderful counselor then he says the mighty God just has to bring you to think about it oh wow you are talking to me about a child that is to come and Isaiah you're calling in the mighty God is this a mistake he says the mighty God is the Appalachian Father he says the Prince of Peace how can the Son be called the Appalachian Father how can the child be called the mighty God this has to make you think about something then this child is talking about this injustice a lot of married child hallelujah this child is talking about isn't just a lot of married child and this has to be a prophecy about the incarnation when you are saying incarnation is God becoming flesh and Isaiah is prophesying that this child which is to be born would be known as God made manifest in a flesh this child which is to be born would be known as the mighty God this child which is to be born would be known as the Appalachian Father as the first point of the incarnation is that the incarnation was prophesied that's the first point what does it the incarnation was prophesied it is a true biblical concept and by this I'm beginning to give you answers and proof of the deity of Christ that Christ isn't just human but Christ is God made manifest in the flesh the prophecy of Isaiah is a prophecy about the incarnation the second point is everybody with me so I don't lose you this is good I don't want to be too fast everyone gets what I'm saying now we begin to see the life of Jesus we begin to see him on earth as a man and from his back he's been treated as a king this is strange and scripture says wise man from the east you know people guys don't they carry last the idea they see a star and angel tell that about the child I'm sorry I know people guys who have killed you please right that's your note that's in June oh my god all right so what's wrong from the east this is star and the Bible never measured how many of them and they trust the star the form of the star till they call to Jesus and they get to a baby and the Bible tells us that when they go to him they present them with three gifts and what they worshiped him what is science that must have been to see fully grown men bounding down to a baby what is science that must have been so Jesus in his child who have been treated as a king being worshiped Matthew chapter 211 he says I went to the house they saw the young child with Mary his mother and they fell down and they worship him and when they are only a treasure they presented on to him gifts gold frankincense and my this was the last time he was watching we see in Georgia after nine and Georgia tonight the son he says and as Jesus passed he saw a man which was blind from his birth and the disciples asked him saying master who did sing this man or his parents that he was born blind and Jesus answered neither this man sing nor his parents are you all in Georgia tonight he says neither have this man sing nor his parents but other works of God should be made manifest in him is that I must work the works of him they sent me while it is day the night comment when the man can work and as long as I am in this world and the light of the world and the city is there when he had just spoken his father on the ground and made clear of the spirit and he anointed the eye of the blind man with clay and then on to him go watch in the pool of seal and he went away therefore and washed and came sin so Jesus just heal the guy. 'Ti' was blind from from from there. And verse it's the name was therefore with sword which knew that he was playing so I'm and said this is not the same guy who begged it is not the same guy who sat in the sun said this is he other said he's like him and he said I am he therefore they said unto him how will your eyes open and in verse 11 he answered and said a man that is called Jesus mid-clave and I know it go to the pool of silo and wash and I went and washed and I received sight then said they onto him where is he said I know not they brought the Pharisee they brought the Pharisees him that a thought time was blind and he was the sub-bath the oranges of mid-clave and open the eyes and then again if I resist at him how is he that you received sight he said unto them he put clear my eyes and I washed and I saw therefore said this man is not a man of God because he does not keep his sub-bath or that's how he man that is a sinner do such miracles and there was division among them so people were surprised and so they were like because he did this on the sub-bath is not the man of God and in verse 11 it was a man of God you need to see that this was the first time that the blind eye was ever open in scriptures so it was obvious that the guy who did this have to be of God and in verse 17 they said "I don't think I'm blind my what is that of him that he opened my eye that's what did you say to him he said he's a prophet but he just did not believe concerning him that he had been blind they did not believe that the guy was blind and received sight and they called his parents and they're like is this your son who you say was born blind how then does this thing now his parents are not to them where you want to doubt the the Mirafloss power but just very foolish you're asking if they are not with you that your child I was blind and they're like this they're full bro and asking seeing the asking and in verse 22 this was spec difference because they feared the Jews for the Jews that agreed already that if any man did confess that he was surprised he should be put out of the synagogue do you see that? the problem is he put him out of the synagogue therefore they're going to say this of age ask him and then again call the demand that was blind and said on screen give God praise we know that this man is a sinner he has said I said whether he be a sinner or not I know not what did I know is that once I was blind now I see and we are how did he open your eyes and he has said that I told you already you did not hear where for would you hear it again or do you want to be disciples and then they are doing the team and that it says that one is disciples but we are Moses' disciples we know that both four come to Moses and for this fellow we don't know where he's from and in man as I said to them why? isn't this a marvelous thing that he's from and yet he has opened my eyes now we know that God he has not seen us but if any man be a worshiper of God and that is we who he carried and since the world began was he not had that was he not had that any man could open your eyes anyone was born right that if that never happened before and they have that I'm saying that was what to get up on in sin and you are teaching us and they cast him out Hallelujah it's a long-greet but pay attention praise Jesus pay attention and then investigate Jesus head at the end cast him out and many family are said do you believe in the Son of God who married Velah Hatir he says do you believe in the Son of God and investigate the answer I said who is he Lord that I might believe on him Marra posse Velah Hatir and investigate on Jesus said thou has seen him and it is he which talketh with thee and investigate he said Lord I believe and what he do after he worshiped him Hallelujah he did what he worshiped him and yet again Jesus is been worshipped this man had seen the revelation of Jesus as the Son of God and his immediate response was what he was worshipped praise God the Son of Jesus wasn't the problem at that time even God announced him and his butt is in his face this is my Velah Son in whom I'm wrong please Hallelujah and yet again and his resurrection did they have the tomb and did they have the tomb met the tomb empty and in Matthew chapter 28 he says and they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy and they rode to bring the disciples work so they were going to bring work to the disciples or what that happened then hey guys the tomb is empty all that Jesus said he was gonna do he did and while they were on their way scripture says Jesus met them and he was like all hell and they came and they held him by his feet and they did what they were shitting him they did what they held him by his feet and they were shitting him and right after they got there they testified they brought others they run past the check the tomb they met it empty when they got them they were like "Oh boy guys the tomb is empty and Thomas is like I cannot believe you guys must be lying I am going to be 20 and after 8 days Thomas was like he is not gonna believe and that is what he named that Thomas I don't believe except I see in his hands the print of the news except I trust my hand in the sight where he was paid I would not believe and in John chapter 20 I am going to be 26 he disciples where we did and Thomas we did Jesus had appeared to them one time and so Thomas was not there so Thomas did not believe and so this second time Jesus appeared to them again this time Thomas being with them and the doors being shut he stood in the almeas and said peace be unto you and then said he to Thomas rich heathen my finger what a sight that was happening he says stop me be all my hand he says trust it into my sight check for yourself and be not fiddless but believing Hallelujah Jesus is alive Jesus is alive and in the 20th and in the 20th Thomas as a la Selon stream my Lord and my God the revelation of Jesus being risen from the grave letting to call Jesus Lord and Lord God maybe Mark not maybe God do you know what he means to call Jesus God Lord and God so his disciples is calling him Lord and God he has to be risen he has to be what he is risen he has to be risen he has to be risen and there are certain implications to the fact that Jesus was worshiped you see angels do not take worship in revelations of the 19th John was describing and the experience he had where he bound to worship and he responded to him and said "I may fell in a severed by few I am of the brethren I am of the testimony of Jesus he says "worship God so angels from the question John is worshiping the angel and he fell in a severed by you do not worship me worship God but we see in many places Jesus being worshipped and first of all this was cancelled the claim of the angel because if Jesus was an angel he would not be worshipped and he would not have received worship Hallelujah and so we see Jesus worshipping many places he starts to bring something to your mind that this guy could not have been ordinary this guy could not have just been an angel he is not just having an ordinary prophet he was worshipped and this shows the deity of Christ that Jesus is not just human he is deity praise Jesus Hallelujah then this brings me to my third point if Jesus is God why then do we call Him the Son of God and this is a question you face a lot of times you will engage Muslims because Muslims are going to tell you God never married and God have a child 'How can Jesus be the Son of God?' And still be God. And it is in a problem if you simply understand scriptures. You see, the Taksu and he called himself the Son of God as well many times. When you see the Taksu, Son of God, is misunderstood in our day. It wasn't a problem in your day. I'll tell you why he wasn't a problem in your time. Because the revelation of Jesus as the Son of God is a testament to the prophecies which they have had in the Old Testament. Are you with me? For them it was not a problem. They knew. They knew. It was a testament to the fact that Jesus is the Messiah. They are not that wrong. They had many prophecies to this. The Sonship of Jesus for them wasn't a contradiction to his deity. Rada, it was a point that was deity for them. Because when Jesus said, 'He is the Son of God.' That guy, he has simply did what he was, he's been. Why? The prophecies that had come concerning who he is, the Son of God, makes it clear to them that this person is going to be the expression of God on this earth. Are you with me? No, you look for all those prophecies that I told you, please make sure you see it from the study in the gospel. I did that in proper teaching day. You see the prophecy of Isaiah. And then that prophecy talks about somebody is going to rape forever. I told you in that teaching about the Supreme Sabbath and the Messiah King, he who is going to dig a thing, the way that he's going to rule the world. Who the government of the Shabbat be afraid of stone, that they knew he was coming? They knew about him. And so think about it. And the baptism of Jesus, a voice from heaven comes and declares about Jesus. And since this is my beloved Son in whom I will please, that is a maca to the sign of the prophecy of the prophecy about the Messiah, to choose him or the appointed one. So by God calling him my beloved son, call me and announce him to the world that this is the Messiah. This is the choosing one which I've been prophesying about. Are you with me? Yes, but then he wasn't a problem. I'm sure. He wasn't a problem. Looked after one of his twenty-eighths when the angel of the piety Mary, what did he say? Verse twenty-eighths. And the angel came in unto her and said, "Heal Mary, thou are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, bless her up, thou among the women." And for a count apart, I like to think that Mary was only on her life. Mary did not run into the chosen of God. It was an election of grace. Are you with me? Yes. So our sense wouldn't say, "It's the same sense we have." As those special sense of grace and aboliness at any point. She was surprised. She was surprised. And when she saw him, she was troubled at this thing. And cast a mighty, holy man, a salutation of this should be. And if the angel said unto her, "Thy not." For thou are done not found favor with God. It's not because you are only found favor with God. Now follow this part closely. And if you are not found favor with God, then you will be found favor with God. Are you there? Are you guys there? Isaiah 9, 6. Also, the Charles Baroque was from the skin in the coffin. And he said, "I'm sure I have the skin, because I'm not sure I have the skin." And he said, "I'm not sure I have the skin, because I'm not sure I have the skin." And he said, "I'm not sure I have the skin, because I'm not sure I have the skin, because I'm not sure I have the skin." OTT "That only thing will shall be born of you, shall be called what?" The Son of God. Verse 31. "Is it that below, thou shall conceive in thine womb, and bring for the Son?" I'm simply reading the scriptures, so follow it, if you open your bodies, you'll not be lost. Verse 31. "And below, thou shall conceive in thine womb, I'm bringing for the Son, and shall be called in Jesus. He shall be great, he shall be called the Son of God of the highest, and the Lord shall be in the throne of His Father David, and this is the prophecy, and he shall reign over the house of Jacob, forever, and of the kingdom, the shall be known, and the Mary asked and said, 'How shall this be seen as I know no man? I'm not going to have a child because I'm in wedging and the five-day attention that angel answered and said unto her, 'The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee, and therefore that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. So why would it be the Son of God? Because he has no father. How would you have a child? The power of the Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and you shall have a child. So who would be the father of the child? God. So the reason why he's called the Son of God is because he is conceived by the power of God, he repests to the paternity of the child. Praise God. So the such sheep on Jesus is a direct reference to the wedging bed and does not contradict his deity. God is still God and God came as a human and the type to Son of God is because listen to what the angel told Mary. He says that the power of God shall overshadow you. This is how you are being child and because of this that child shall be called what? The Son of God. Is this great for everybody? He is called the Son of God. It's a direct reference to the wedging bed. He has no earthly father and so he is what the Son of God. This is not a contradiction. This is not to say in Jesus is God. The name is the Son of God. He is the Son of God because of the wedging bed, not because it's like with a woman. Hallelujah. You need to see that Jesus was never called the Son of God before he came to this world. In John chapter 1 and verse 1 what is it? In the beginning was the Word. He wasn't the beginning was the Son. Is it the beginning was the Word? The Word was the Word was the Word that the Word was called. The Word came to this edge that died to Son of God came. Why? Because he was born by the power of the Holy Ghost. Is this great? The Son of God. So to my next point why was the incarnation necessary? I hope you are all following. Why was the incarnation necessary? Why you have to come? Why do you have to come as a man? the human was not what saved us, but in the human it was leading to the point where he had to die for our sins to save us. Do you get that? You don't know? So, why did he have to go? What is the efficacy of the incarnation? I'm explaining this time and again, I'm going to take it again. Go on, it's just during the captain meeting, I explained to you the holiness of God. And how in the holiness of God, you see, you see it put side by side with the justice of God. And what is the justice of God? Justice and justice of God refers to the fact that God meant that he gives the appropriately word for actions. He's just in the sense that there is justice for everything that happens. Having been good, we expect God to be just. What do I mean by that? Justice means that if someone does wrong, giving their wrong punishment, if he does good, giving a good reward, be fair and be just, hallelujah. For we can't measure what the justice of God, because in the justice of God, we see God having to punish him. Why? Let me bring it to a normal scenario. If you do good, and you were punished for doing good, and your friend does something less than you, and he was not punished by the same teacher, would you consider that teacher just? No. Would you consider that teacher good? No. So that means we actually build goodness with justice, and so in being just, you are being good. And that is why you have to see that the justice of God is also the goodness of God. God has to punish sin to be just. It just don't mean God is bad. It means God is good. So when people give you the emergency, God is good, why is there a hell? It's because it's just. And in his justice, we see his goodness. And so if he does like this, and it's not for your sins of good, then he's not just and he's not good. So to be just and to be good, we have to see God punish evil. We have to see God punish sin. Are you following me? This is important. And that is the wage of sin. Death. The promise talks about it. That's why you see a fishers chapter 2. Talk about the fact that we were once dead in trespasses leading on to rot, leading on to death. We are once children of rot. Following the loss of our flesh, we're leading together and God was dead. Why? Because the wage of sin is dead. We brought separation with God from God. And he made us dead. Hallelujah. The wage of sin is one. Death. And so for that death to be taken away from you, someone has to pay the price. I give you an analogy I always use when I explain this. A judge was in court. He was in court. And the next case happens to be his son. And so his son and comedian, he cried and he had been charged to court. And when he saw his son, he had to be just. But he is also good and he is also loving. And so if he is loving, he tells his son, "Glory's God's free. Is he a good judge?" No, he's not. Because you've punished other people for that same crime. So you are not just, as a judge, decided that, "Okay, I'm going to give you what is necessary for this." And this is for what you don't. You're going to pray a fine of five million Naira and then they hit it back and they are like, "Cart!" And they stand up. And then because the judge is also loving George. He was to the duck of the scene and says, "Oh, it is by a million." And in a big show, he is checkbook and he writes a check of five million and he pays for his son. Is he still just? Yes, he's still just. Why? Because the payment for that crime was still paid. But in being a lovely father, he decided to step in for his son and pay the price for his son. Is this clear? And so the weight of sin is death. Man could not save himself. One of the reasons why man could not save himself is sin in Romans chapter 5. You know, it would take a sin less passing to be able to pay the price for you. Because if you are almost saved yourself, you can't. You are in sin. You are deep in sin. Romans chapter 5 and verse 14 says, "Nevertheless, death reign from Adam to Moses, even on that day that I had not sinned." It says, "After the similarity of Adam's transgression, which the thickest so death passed on every month from Adam, down to Moses and everyone." So just by being born, you are born into sin. And that's why you cannot save yourself. Is that clear? That's why you cannot save yourself. You are born into sin. You can't even see nature just by bets. Just by bets. And so God is like, "They can't save themselves." I'm a just God, but I'm also a loving father. My love nature is amplified. God is who, God is love. But He's also just. And it's like, "What am I going to do? How am I going to save them? They can't save themselves." And it's like, "Has what I'm going to do? I'm going to be the ultimate sacrifice for the earth's sin." And just like the analogy of the just God, God decides to come as a man to pay your sin. Because He couldn't come as a man born by the intercourse between a man and a woman. Because hence you have carried the same sin nature that you carry. Hence the need for a virgin bed. I'll take that again. But the need for the virgin bed is sin in the fact that if God was going to come and standing at place as a ceiless sacrifice. He couldn't have been born through the line of A down. Because everyone on the line of A down carries the cost of A down. So the way to break the line and the transference of the cost was that He would not be born by the intercourse of a man. The man carries the seed. And so by the power of the Holy Ghost, He sees this difference, Mary, Bukhosh, say, "Balai, He comes with a new seal of the new line, sinless." And so Mary, part of the power of the Holy Ghost, now has a child that does not carry the atomic nature and the atomic cost. Do you see why the virgin bed was important now? Do you see why the incarnation was important? This will make sense when you see Genesis chapter 3 and the verse 15 where He says, "I will put an imiti between the woman and I see. And I have seed." "Between the woman and I see, then I see, I shall bruise the head and I shall bruise the view." Many theology are great with me when we say that this creature is a reference to the virgin bed. Why? The woman does not carry the seed. You know, I read an article once that if you live an unfertilized egg of a hen and you put it in an incubator or whatever, the blood capyra is and the blood vessels only start to form after a sperm has been introduced into that equation. Are you with me? And so it means that the seed, the blood vessels, everything is carried and transferred through the man and here is God telling Eve that I will put an imiti between your seed and the devil seed, your seed will bruise the head of the serpent. This was the direct reference to the virgin bed because the only time that Mary or any woman had any seed that was not by the intervention of the man was in the virgin bed. And when he said that his feet would bruise the head of the serpent, he was talking about the victory that Christ will have over the devil. Hallelujah. I'm going to link that detail and come back to the same one that we're teaching. So listen to me. God had to come as Jesus. Why? To bear a seed. He had to come as a seamless perfection also. So he couldn't come through the line of Adam, hence the virgin bed. And so in comments this earth as a man, he couldn't die for your sins. He couldn't die for my sins. Listen, it is one of the biggest show of God's love. Being in condition, even without the death, one of the biggest show of the love of God that you can ever find. I told you in the cap, the thing that the comparison between humanity and deity is Fala, faa longa, daa de kompareza'n mituna'n hibana'n magos. 'The comparison between you and me and God comes nothing close to the comparison of dating and community. So you need to know that God has to know you also much for him to come as a man.' Philippians 2 begins to say, 'That is my being you. Who does it not have to be called to God?' He says, 'But make himself of no repetition, but I know who himself wants to get to go that on the cross.' Jesus, God's God, become a human making himself of no repetition. And you get him what I'm saying. 'That I'm showing you long as to show you God's love. The incarnation has to show you God's love. But listen, the incarnation may turn out to be as substitution possible. Why? Now that Jesus is on earth and God is on earth as Jesus, He can then go to the cross and pay for all our sins and the judgment of all our sins can be put upon him, all our sins can be put in him and he can be killed on behalf of all of us.' Hallelujah, that's our submission, Kim. So, Kim, so much of glory. Glory, glory, glory. The second importance, and the first importance was that the incarnation makes salvation possible. Even though the incarnation is not salvation, you get what I mean. Good. The second importance of the incarnation is that when Jesus came to this world, He revealed God to the world. South Hallelujah. He grew up in the world and there's one or three. Scripture says, 'God who at some three times and in diverse manner, speaking time past, don't let father buy the prophets.' He says, 'Had in this last days spoken unto us by his song, whom he had appointed here of all things by whom also he made the world.' Scripture calls him what he says, 'Who been the brightness of this glory and the express image of his passing, upholding all things by the world of his power. When he had himself, or just sin, and sat on the right hand of the Majesty on high.' So, Jesus reveals God to us. Praise God. Jesus does what reveals God to us. If you go back to Romans chapter 5 and verse 17, it says, 'For if by one man opens debts reigned by one, it says, 'Much more, day which received a abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one.' Jesus Christ, dressed my teeth as by one man disobedience. We were made sinners. So, by the obedience of one man, shall we be made righteous? Shall down and do it. So, listen. Adam will let the race, that led on to death, Adam will let the race, where sin was transferred from man to man. For Jesus led another race when he came. Hallelujah. If by one man offense came into the world, by one man also it is fitting that salvation and righteousness shall come also men. Praise Jesus. And so, get down. Start the race. That's why Adam is called a shadow of Christ because he started the line of people. But Jesus came and started another line of people. Praise God. Hallelujah. That line of sin transferring stopped at Jesus when you believed you had changed. You are what? You have changed. Adam led a race, Jesus let the bottom of the race with greater glory, with greater glory. And that's why before Jesus is dead, he was called what? The only begotten song. Forget what? After he's dead. He was called what? The first begotten. What was the first call? Because it got to judge after two. And verse 24, Jesus speaking is a very disown to you, except a common with force to the flow and die. He would abide in love. The way it falls to the flow, he bring effort, effort, when he was speaking, he was not talking about agriculture. The rambler, he was talking about the fact that he was here, staying here is the only begotten song. But when he dies and falls to the ground and comes back alive, he no longer becomes the only begotten song. It becomes what the first begotten. Why in his dead he has metronome for many people in his father's mansion. You are now a part of God's family as a result of the death of Christ. We are parts of our brothers and sisters. So the second in the incarnation of those is that it shows us a pattern of living just like as our firstborn has lived. Are you with me? To show you what is possible what he could do we can do also. To show you that if Jesus was raised by the power of God on his inside, then also when we die we will be raised by the power of God on our inside. You get it? It's a pattern. It's showing us. If Jesus gives us great deliverance upon us, then that is not very difficult. So he who does not so our first of the sick, it means that because he who does not so, you will do it. You preach the gospel and you do not so our first of the devil. You preach to him people. Is this clear? Yes. Are you a part of him? Yes. As a part of him, if the spirit of God dwells in you, it shall also quicken your motor body like a quickened Christ motor body. So Jesus as the incarnation died and he became the first man to resurrect and not die again. Why to also show you that the time is coming where you sleep? You would be awakened to never die again. This is a pattern we see in Christ. Is this correct? Yes sir. Yes sir. So we are in a family where Christ is the first born. And this is another thing that the incarnation may possible. God revealed in human form. God revealed in the flesh. There are many other ways you can prove the date of Christ and I will not be reading them out so you as we begin to round out. You can read them in your spare time. John chapter 1 and verse 13. Scripture says, "No man had seen God at any time. The only big God in stone which is in the bosom of the Father has done what has declared him." Arabala Maladek. Is that a response? The only big God in of God has done what has declared in Philippians 2. "The Spine, let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." It says, "Who being in the form of God?" "No." So Jesus was in the form of God. I am not abiding. I am getting how to prove this now. "Who being in the form of God taught it from a robbery to be equal to God." "Don't tell me Jesus is a ordinary angel." Philippians is telling us that he was born in the image of God. He was one thing, equality with God, brother. He was in the form of God. It says, "The 13th robbery to be equal to God." Both Radha and Median Zofan were a petition calling as a human. 1 John chapter 3 and verse 16. He says, "Hereby, perceive we do not know of God because he lived down his life for us. Who lived down his life for us?" "Ayee, I do sleepy. Jesus is being mentioned here. Hereby, perceive we do not know of God that he lived down his life. God lived down his life for us." What is the 5 point in the Bible? "Ayee, Ma, Radha, are you guessing it?" "Yes, sir. Do you want to tell me that the Radha of God was making a mistake?" It says, "Hereby, perceive we do not know of God. God lived his life for us." "Ayee, Ma, Radha, are you sleeping?" People are talking about verse 4-8. It says, "Being made so much better than the angels." "I do not know where to get the idea that Jesus is an angel." It says, "Being made so much better than the angels as he had by inheritance, obtaining more excellence named than these."
