JESUS was a man child. He was virgin born. Brought into this world to become the lamb of God, the savior of the whosoever will. He was and is unique, the only one born of deity and man. He was both man and God.He demonstrated both natures but committed his manhood to be subject to the spiritual personality that dwelt within. We are no different. We have been born of the flesh. But we have also been born of the Spirit by the Living Word. We may live our lives in the flesh or in the Spirit. If we choose to live in the Spirit the flesh must come into subjection to the Spiritual side of our nature. The flesh tries to convince us that to live in the spirit is the hard way but just the opposite is true. The flesh is the way that is difficult and filled with troubles. Jesus is Prophet, Priest and King. Of His kingdom and rule there will be no end. He is the Author and Finisher of our salvation. He is the manifest righteousness of the Almighty. He is Holiness personified. He lived as a pauper, but had no needs. He reached out to and associated with sinners but had no sin. He ministered to the sick but was never sick, until he bore our sicknesses and sins on Calvary. He has ascended on high where he is now the only mediator between His Father and sinful man.
