Humanity of Christ


As the sin bearer, priest and representative of man before God, Jesus entered into the life of humanity, bearing our flesh and blood. The life is in the living, vital current of blood, which blood was given for the life of the world. Christ made a full atonement, giving His life as a ransom for us. He was born without a taint of sin, but came into the world in like manner as the human family. He did not have a mere semblance of a body, but He took human nature, participating in the life of humanity. {7BC 925.5}

According to the law Christ Himself gave, the forfeited inheritance was ransomed by the nearest of kin. Jesus Christ laid off His royal robe, His kingly crown, and clothed His divinity with humanity, in order to become a substitute and surety for humanity, that dying in humanity He might by His death destroy him who had the power of death. He could not have done this as God, but by coming as man, Christ could die. By death, He overcame death. The death of Christ ...opened the gates of the tomb for all who receive Him as their personal Saviour. {7BC 925.6}

Christ proclaimed over the rent sepulcher of Joseph, "I am the resurrection and the life." He, the world's Redeemer, has bruised the serpent's head, depriving him of all power ever to make men feel his scorpion sting; for He has brought life and immortality to light. The gates of eternal life are thrown open to all who believe on Jesus Christ. All believers who pass through a natural death, have, through eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of God, eternal life in them, which is the life of Jesus Christ. In dying, Jesus has made it impossible for those who believe on Him to die eternally. . . . {7BC 926.1}

Christ lived and died as a man, that He might be God both of the living and of the dead. It was to make it impossible for men to lose eternal life if they believe on Him. The life of men and women is precious in the sight of God; for Christ has purchased that life by being executed in their stead. Thus He made it possible for us to attain to immortality (Letter 97, 1898). {7BC 926.2}

Praise the Lord.

Ask and Ye Shall Receive


All we have to do is ask.


51:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.



51:2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.


51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before me.


51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.


51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.


51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.


51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.


51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou hast broken may rejoice.


51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.


51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.


51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.


51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit.


51:13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.


51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.


51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.


51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering.


51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.


51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.


51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

All we have to do is ask.
God Bless.
