Sermon 2840 - Why Jesus Is the Highest Name - 2nd Message.....(Fri pm 10/23/2009)

WHY JESUS IS THE HIGHEST NAME — 2ND MESSAGE.....(FRI PM 10/23/2009)
The text of this message is found in Romans 5:1-10 and Luke 2:40. The First Adam missed it in the Garden; he sinned. The Bible says, “[B]y one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12). So by one man, sin entered into the world, and it reigned until the Second Adam came. Then the Second Adam, Jesus Christ, had to take on Humanity. Christ, the Son of God, the Wisdom-Word, was begotten, and Christ was “Truthed up” by the Father. So the Wisdom-Word knew all His Father’s Purposive Will and His Master Plan. The Divine Son could not come and be our Redeemer and our Saviour and take our place because He could not die. But He came and took on Humanity, and that Humanity was called “Jesus.” The Christ took on holy Humanity.

When Christ came down, He came in full Spiritual Stature. When the Christ took on Humanity, that Humanity started with just a little Seed. Luke 2:40 says: “And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.”  As this Child grew, the Christ was teaching His Humanity, just as His Father had taught His Divinity. Jesus had to be thirty years old before He started His Ministry because He was still growing spiritually.

Before He was thirty, He was not mature, fully, in total Spiritual Stature so that He was One with the Christ. When He became equal with Wisdom. They both went to the Cross. Christ was with the Humanity of Jesus, and Christ went to the Cross with Him, but Christ could not die; the Humanity died, but they never killed Him. He laid His Life down. You cannot kill somebody who has power over his own life.
