Jesus Christ's Human Physical Nature
(1)
Jno. 1:14—“And
the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the
glory of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.”
Heb. 2:14—“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
had the power of death, that is, the devil.”
FIRST PROPOSITION:
The Eternal Word was made flesh. partook of flesh and blood. Jesus Christ had
a true human body.
Note
1.—The denial of the reality of
Christ’s
body is the mark of the spirit of anti-Christ.
1 Jno. 4:2,
3—“Hereby
know ye the spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh
is not of God: and this is that spirit of anti-Christ, whereof ye have heard
that it should come and even now already is it in the world.”
Note
2.—The indwelling divine glory sometimes shone through and transfigured the
veil of flesh. (Matt.
17:2.)
(2)
Luke 24:39—“Behold
my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me and see; for a spirit
hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”
Jno. 20:27—“Then
sayeth he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach
hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but
believing.”
SECOND PROPOSITION:
Jesus Christ had a true human body after his resurrection.
(3)
Acts 7:55,
56—“But
he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw
the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said,
behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right
hand of God.”
Rev. 5:6—“And
I beheld, and lo! in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in
the midst of the elders, stood a lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns
and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the
earth.”
Matt. 26:64—“Jesus
saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall
ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the
clouds of heaven.”
THIRD PROPOSITION:
Jesus Christ still has a human body in the glory. He shall come again on the
clouds of heaven as “the Son of Man.”
Note.—Our
bodies at His coming shall be transformed into the likeness of His own. (Phil.
3:21.)
