Jesus Man

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Somebody said to me yesterday that Jesus Christ was an alien, now this at first offended me as I am sure it would offend you. But coming to think about it from the point of view of world opinion not only is Jesus alien to the ways of the world but so am I. We are in this world but not of this world.

There are also those that describe God as a genderless being, ethereal and entirely without form, allowing an individual to describe God as they may choose. Yet strikingly enough throughout the Bible God is described in the masculine, Jesus Christ is fully man, flesh and blood man, circumcised on the eight day. He died as a man and was resurrected in the body that was crucified with all the wounds, He ate and slept, with the disciples after He was resurrected. He was fully man and He was fully God, when we see God as a Christian we see Jesus Christ. For if you see Jesus, you see the Father. Yet God is also Spirit, the Holy Spirit and it is this Spirit that dwells in man, making man one with the Father and with the Son in the power of the Holy Spirit. United and one as God is one.

Be encouraged today to realise that you are an alien in this world.

Point to ponder: Jesus is full man.

Question to consider: How do you describe God?
