We are dealing with the most essential Truth, that God accomplishes His own plan with humanity. He had to establish the relationship to us; therefore, He appeared to the children of men as the Son of Man. In Hebr. 2: 6-9, we read, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownest him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man.” This all happened because of us. He had to take the body in which we were, in order to be able to suffer, die, and raise from the dead, and go into glory. Thereby, He made the way for us.

In Hebr. 2: 10-11, it says, “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified, are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.” After His resurrection the Lord spoke to the women at the tomb, “Be not afraid; go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.” (Matth. 28: 10).

What a wonderful thought! The One who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified have the same Father. Thereby, God’s purpose is being accomplished to bring us back unto Himself as His sons and daughters through Jesus Christ. The same thought is found confirmed in John 20: 17, “Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.”

In completion it will be revealed that all sons and daughters of God are changed and will appear in the very likeness of our Lord Jesus. John writes, “Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (I John 3: 2). As certain as it is written, it will take place. The eternal council of God shall stand and those who truly believe will see the final realization thereof.

In Psalms 22: 22, it says, “I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.” His Name is not made known to each and everyone, but as it is written, He makes Himself known to His brethren. They are the ones who rightfully address God as their heavenly Father. Everything is given to us by God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power” (Col. 2: 9-10). This is also true and will be manifested in the sons and daughters of God.

We see our Lord in His humaneness, as He takes care of all the various aspects in connection with the work of redemption. Like an actor must play different roles, so He has to play every role necessary in regards to our salvation. If we search the Scriptures, as we are told to do, we find Him described in every aspect. In the Old Testament, the Scripture testified of what He would be. In the New Testament, it shows that He was just the fulfilment thereof. For those, who claim to have eternal life and believe to be truly born again, it will be easy to understand by divine revelation that Christ is shown in all the various manifestations and ministries.

In John 17: 3, a very important statement is found. Jesus said, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” As we have shown, Christ is not seen as another God besides the One, but He is the direct manifestation, as stated in Hebr. 1: 3a, “… who, being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power …”. AIn John 6: 40, He says, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” How important the belief that God revealed Himself in the Son is, can be seen from the following words: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not he Son shall not see life” (John 3: 36).

The Lord has been introduced to us. Finally we look behind the human veil and confess with Thomas, when we see Jesus as the great Conqueror, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20: 28). According to the testimony of the apostle Paul, only those who truly have the Holy Spirit are able to confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Of course, as Lord He is God (I Cor. 12: 3).

As the good Shepherd, He gave His life for His sheep. As the Lamb of God, He shed His blood for our redemption. As the High Priest, He went into the holiest of holies. As the Advocate, He makes intercessions for us, etc., etc. He is also the Chief Cornerstone upon which His spiritual house, His church, is built (I Peter 2: 4-10). When the church is completed, He will be the headstone. He is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last. As Son of Man, He was the Prophet; as Son of David, He will be the King, as Son of God, He was the Redeemer.

Whosoever sees the Lord in all the many descriptions besides God, must always keep in mind that these are necessary for the great plan and purpose of God with humanity to be accomplished. When time will merge into eternity, everything will be over, and we will see God to be all in all. After the time of grace ends, we shall reign a thousand years with Christ (Rev.. 20: 6). This great promise He gave to us in Rev. 3: 20-21. After the millennial reign will be the white throne judgment, and then time fades into eternity.
