The Hybrid [dual] nature of our Lord Jesus
Christ
|
 |
|
Jesus
constantly resisted using His first nature to
overcome sin
|
God is a mystery who reveals
Himself to us individually for the asking
- but His human part
of Him is clearly revealed in the holy Scriptures
for us to behold, and by beholding we become
changed.
- Jesus did not have the "experience" of
Romans 7 in that He never did that which He would
not, nor what He hated did He not. He never
sinned.
- But He would have sinned if He had taken Peter's
advice (Matthew 16:22) and evaded the cross.
Here is the sublime truth of the incarnation of
our Saviour: In order to "condemn sin in the
flesh", He needed the cross! And so do
we! The cross was not His "saviour",
but He needed the cross in order to be our "Saviour".
How could Jesus then be made like unto His
Brethren?
St. Paul is an example of a holy Brother: "I
am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not
I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me."
(Gal.2:20).
"Here is the patience of the saints: here are
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith
of Jesus (the faith of the Son of God). (Revelation
14:12).
The heresy of the Immaculate Conception contradicts
the true humanity of Jesus and overthrows the good
news of salvation. If Mother Mary is outside the
camp where humanity is held captive by the Evil One,
then the child which she has miraculously conceived
will Himself also be born outside this camp, but thank
God this is not the case:
"Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise
took part of the same; that through death He might
destroy him that has the power of death, that is, the
devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage
For verily he took not on Him the nature of angels
[un-fallen ones]; but He took on Him the seed of
Abraham".
Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made unto
His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful
high priest in things partaining to God, to make
reconciliation for the sins of the people.
For in that He Himself suffered being tempted, He is
able to succour them that are tempted."
(Hebrews 2:12-14).
In all things made unto His brethren
Let us be careful not to make our Lord human all
together! Because Jesus was born of the Holy
Spirit at birth, He had a head-start on us.
We as His brethren have to be born again or those born
into the family of believers must also keep on walking
in the Holy Spirit day by day and minute by minute.
Did Jesus have an advantage over us?
Just as Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit and
walked in it, so are we to walk. Only He had it
much harder in that He had to constantly resist using
His first nature and that at every step Satan opposed
and annoyed Him.
Did you notice that He took the seed of Abraham?
(Heb2:16) and the seed of King David (Romans 1:3).
in other words, not the un-fallen nature of Adam!

There is no excuse for us to sin
