Wednesday, February 2, 2022. (The Presentation of Christ).
TOPIC: THE HUMAN NATURE OF
CHRIST
TEXT: Hebrews 2:14-18
BIBLE PASSAGE:
14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[a] fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

INTRODUCTION
Jesus Christ is the eternal
God - the Messiah "Who took on
human nature of flesh and blood (John 1:14).
This was to save mankind from their sins. Jesus did not give up his oneness
with God; He became a human being without committing sin. He took on a complete
human personality - a new nature - while remaining God. He was fully God and
fully human (Phil. 2:6-7).
Jesus' death on
the cross paid the penalty for our sins. Without his coming, humanity will not
have a Saviour. He came and dwelt among us in order to be a partaker of
our human frailty but he did not sin. Jesus came to reveal God to humanity
(John 1:18, 14:9); to fulfill God's promise and the prophecy of men of God;
to fulfill the Law of Moses; to bring a new covenant into existence and to
destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8); to judge the world righteously and
to help those who are tempted; to be an example of believers and to
prepare the world for a heavenly destiny (John 14:1-13). Since Jesus has done
all these and more for us, it is our duty then to live for him as a living
sacrifice.
Prayer: Thank
you Father for sending your only begotten Son to save us from
sin. Help us to live for you always that we may dwell with you eternally
in heaven. Amen.
