THE INCARNATION OR THE HUMANITY AND DEITY OF JESUS
THE INCARNATION OR THE HUMANITY AND DEITY OF JESUS
HE question of the Humanity and Deity of Jesus
was contested more bitterly during the early days of
,601 Christianity than almost any other question .
It has been the battle ground of speculators, metaphysicians, philosophers, and theologians .
Jesus puzzles them. To the natural mind He is a mystery ; no man has ever produced such startling results in the human.
He changed liars to truth-tellers, lazy men to workers, thieves to honest men, caused corrupt society to become clean, wholesome, and safe.
In China today thousands of the Literati, Mandarins, principals
of academies and Colleges, political leaders, officers in the army,
and heads of the local governments are turning to Jesus Christ,
and the miracle is that it changes their lives, their hearts .
There is something in this man Jesus that changes one's nature
the moment one takes Him as his Savior and crowns Him Lord .
What is it?
The writer knows what it is by experience.
Most of the readers likely know what it is.
Now what is there about this man Jesus that makes Him and
every man who embraces Him so different?
You may read Shakespeare, and it does not change your nature.
You may study the works of any man, and your nature will not be changed by it, but you cannot embrace Jesus as your Savior without having a miracle performed in your spirit.
Why is this?
It lies in the fact that Jesus was different.
He was not generated after the common laws of nature .
John says, "The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us
and we beheld His glory, full of grace and truth" (or reality).
The Incarnation is the most striking miracle of creation ; yet
from Heaven's point of view and man's need it is inevitable.
