Christ
is My Brother, my Savior, and the One Who wants to present me spotless before
His Father. At the same time, this is the Father. That Son of God that came
down to earth is God incarnate. His Name is Emanuel. (I love that hymn, “O Come
O Come Emanuel”) Emanuel means God walks with us. Jesus came so that we could
see what it was God wanted us, me, my ancestors, my friends, my associates,
those that worship in the pew with me, those that came long long time before,
what God wants us to do. Jesus came that we would know His will. What is really
interesting about the bible is that God gives us a physical genealogy so that
we can actually pinpoint that Jesus did indeed exist, this is His lineage and
look indeed He comes from Adam. So He is a man, like us, but because He was
placed in the womb of Mary by God He is God. And that is the mystery. He is
God, He is the Son of God. And as spoken of in John 10:6, Jesus is the light,
the example, the way, the truth and the life.. He first learned obedience as
the Hebrews writer says, then He was baptized to further display this obedience
to God and as a pledge of good conscience. And also to give us an example of
the seed dying and some new being taking its place as well as a death, burial,
and resurrection that would come at the cross later. (Romans 5 and 6). Jesus
always said, “Yes, God” even though He may ask God to think of something else.
It was always His Will. Then Luke in Luke 3:1-38 gives us Christ’s genealogy.
God knows that I need, that all human beings need, tangibles, and He gave it to
us. Christ is my ancestor, my King, My Lord and God.
