The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me because the LORD has annointed Me to preach good news to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted; to proclaim freedom to the captives and the opening of the prisons to those who are captive; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengance of our God; to comfort all those who mourn; to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness!

3 - The Blessed God comes down teaching


Chapter 3 – Divine Perfection

.

The Blessed God Comes Down Teaching

.

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel”[1]

.

God has “marked off the heavens by the span” of his hand.[2] God could not make Himself any larger to make us notice Him more, so what God did is He made himself smaller that we might be drawn to Him. But then the question is, if God has come to tabernacle with man, then who is in Heaven? Who was Jesus praying to if He is God? These are great questions that baffle the mind.

.

Decoding the Great Mystery

.

I can picture Mary, the mother of Jesus, could have said these very words from one of my favorite Christmas songs, “It’s still a mystery to me, that the hand of God could be so small; How tiny fingers reaching in the night were the very hands that measured the sky; How His infant eyes had seen the dawn of time, how His ears had heard an angel symphony.”[3]

.

This is a great mystery that God himself would enter into creation. The Bible says about Jesus that “by Him all things were created, both in heaven and on earth… all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”[4] It doesn’t get more mysterious than the God of heaven and earth who created all things and is before all things coming in human form.

.

Paul’s first letter to Timothy puts it this way, “Great is the mystery of godliness: He (God) who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Beheld by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.”[5] Jesus was God in the very form and nature, having all the fullness (of God) to dwell in Him, it was not one-third of the Godhead that entered into humanity but all the fullness of God.[6] But, How can this be?

.

These Three are One

.

The complete fullness of the three in one God dwelt in the person of Jesus. The Bible says, “For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”[7] God being three in person is one. Jesus confirmed this when he said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”[8] Jesus also said, “I and the Father are one.”[9]

.

The Us of God

.

We seem to read the Bible and miss the “Us” of God, His three in one nature. We don’t seem to have trouble understanding the Father and His Holy Spirit being one. But the Son and the Father along with the Holy Spirit are all one. Jesus prayed these words, “And now, glorify Thou Me together with Thyself, Father, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.”[10] Jesus sat in Glory with the Father before the world was and Jesus then prayed glorify Me together with You like it was from the beginning.

.

Jesus was with the Father from the beginning and the Father created all things through the Son as it is recorded in the book of Hebrews. “But of the Son He (the Father) says… Thou, LORD, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.”[11] All things were made by God and by no one else. Isaiah records, “I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself, and spreading out the earth all alone.”[12] God did this all Himself in the person of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

.

But somehow we miss the “Us” of God, even though it is recorded in the Bible. “The LORD God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.”[13] The same three that bear record in heaven, basically said, “We are a triune being, let us make man in our triune image and likeness.” This is not a one passage anomaly, two chapters later it says, “Then the LORD God said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil.”[14]

.

Like one of who? Like one of Us in the Godhead, like the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God removed man from the garden “lest he stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.”[15] God would not allow man to eat from the tree of life and live forever in our sinful, fallen state. But this secret of the “Us” God is further revealed later in Genesis when man had built what was known as the tower of Babel, and God said, “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language.”[16]

.

Who will go for Us?

.

The prophet Isaiah gives us a glimpse of the throne room of God, where mighty angels cry out “Holy” so loud it actually shakes the foundations of the thresholds.[17] In the midst of all of this constant praise around the throne, Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?”[18] The Father is saying, “who will I send, who will go on behalf of us, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”. Then Isaiah echoes the very words that the Son must have said, “Here am I. Send me!”

.

The Father then commands “Go, and tell this people: Keep on listening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking but do not understand. Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Lest they see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.”[19]

.

Jesus quotes from this portion of Isaiah when giving explanation to His disciples when they asked, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”[20] Jesus then answered His disciples, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted”[21] The very first time in the New Testament the Greek word musterion is used is in Matthew 13:11. This Greek word is translated either mystery or mysteries in the New Testament and this word hold the meaning of “a hidden or secret thing not obvious to the understanding; God’s hidden purpose or counsel; things which are hidden from wicked ungodly men but made plain to those who God has confided, a part of His inner circle.”[22]

.

The Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven

.

Jesus said, “Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ‘You will keep on hearing, but will not understand; And you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive; For the heart of this people has become dull, And with their ears they scarcely hear, And they have closed their eyes lest they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and return, and I should heal them.’ But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desire to see what you see, and did not see it; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”[23]

.

The Father said, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ The Son answers, ‘Here am I. Send me!’ Then the Father says to the Son, ‘Go, and tell this people…’ And the very words the Father commanded were spoken by Jesus. So the first mystery of the Kingdom is that the Father asked who will go on behalf of the Godhead (Us), and Jesus (the Son) answers, here am I send me. The first mystery of the Kingdom is that God himself in the person of the Son would come to earth to bring the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. Jesus said about this, ‘that many prophets and righteous men desire to see what you see, and did not see it; and hear what you hear, and did not hear it.’

.

The Psalmist records about the secrets of God, “The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant. My eyes are continually toward the LORD, For He will pluck my feet out of the net. Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afficted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins.”[24]

.

The secret of God is that He is three and yet He is one. The Bible records this in Proverbs, “Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name?”[25] Only God has done all those things, so what is God’s name or His son’s name?

.

The LORD and His Spirit sent Me

.

Isaiah saw the three in one God in heaven and penned these words; “Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.”[26] Who is the first and the last? In Revelation 1:17, Jesus refers to Himself as the first and the last. So this is Jesus speaking. Then Isaiah writes; “Surely My hand founded the earth, And My right hand spread out the heavens; When I call to them, they stand together.”[27] Who created all things? Again this is Jesus, all things were created by Him and for Him. Then it says; “Who among them has declared these things? Come near to Me, listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret, from the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord GOD has sent Me, and His Spirit.”[28]

.

Here Jesus is speaking through what was written by the prophet and Jesus is saying, the Lord GOD and His Spirit sent Me. This is a great, easy to see, reference to the entire trinity in the Old Testament. Remember these words, “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”[29] This verse of scripture is known at the Shema to the Hebrew people. The words “our God” actual refer to the “Us” of God because of its plural nature.

.

But what is even more important about this verse besides the plural nature of the Hebrew word for “our God” is the reference to “the LORD is one.” The word for one here is the Hebrew word echad which means one as a compound, not absolute one. One example of this is in Genesis 2:24 it says; “For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.” Notice Hebrew word for one here is echad, where two have become one.

.

There is a Hebrew word that means absolute oneness and it is yachid. This word stands for absolute oneness, as in the one and only. This “Us” of God is three in person and one in nature, not three in person and three in nature. Jesus said about this “He who believes in Me does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me.”[30] So when we believe in Jesus we believe in God and when we see Jesus we see God.

.

Divinity and Humanity Fussed Together

.

So why would God need to enter humanity to fix everything? Because God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”[31] God gave man dominion over the earth. This meant that man had the authority over the things of the earth. So a son of man needed to fix what had gone terribly wrong.

.

The Bible says about Jesus, “but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant and being made in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man…”[32] Jesus is the Son of God, being 100% God, and at the same time He was the Son of Man, being 100% man. The two gospels that give the greatest insight into this are the gospel of Mark (Son of Man); please note that this was Jesus favorite name to refer to himself by, and the gospel of John (Son of God).

.

Jesus being both the Son of God and the Son of Man means that there must be something very miraculous about his birth that the Divinity of God and the Humanity of Man had somehow fussed together. What a thought God was wrapped in human flesh. The greatest revelation as to who God is made into the likeness of man, God revealing Himself to mankind in human flesh.

.

Miraculous Birth of a Son

.

“Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.”[33] Most everyone is familiar with this passage, but what other Old Testament scripture that will point to the fact that God would inhabit flesh by a miraculous birth? First let’s look again at this passage. It says the sign will come from the LORD Himself, next the birth will be through a woman who has no way to conceive (in this case a virgin), then she will bear a son, and lastly His name is “God with us” (Immanuel).

.

If we begin in Genesis we find a very similar story of a woman who has found favor in the eyes of the LORD, the LORD brings the news, the woman finds the news impossible to believe based on her ability to conceive a child, then the messenger says to her, “Is anything too difficult for the LORD?”[34] Let’s examine the text and look for the similarities to the birth of Jesus.

.

“Now the LORD appeared to him (Abraham)… My lord if now I have found favor in your sight… And he (the LORD) said, “I will surely return to you at this time next year and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him… And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh saying, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old? Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year and Sarah shall have a son.”[35]

.

This miracle son would be raised from the dead or at least raised from the alter he was to be sacrificed on, Hebrew 11 talks about the faith of Abraham on this raising, saying, “He considered that God is able to raise men even from the dead; from which he also received him (Isaac) back as a type.”[36] Prophetically on the third day[37] Isaac was raised from the dead.

.

So here was an Old Testament type or shadow of Messiah Jesus whose mother received word from the LORD of the coming birth, because she had found favor in the eyes of the LORD. Yet initially she could not believe based on her ability to conceive, and receives a word from the LORD that nothing is too difficult for the LORD, finally this son is raised from the dead.

.

A Second Witness

.

There is a second Old Testament story that is also a foreshadowing of the miraculous birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The Story of Shunammite Woman found in 2 Kings 4:8-37 it has tremendous similarity to Sarah’s story. In this story Elisha a prophet / messenger of God has been dealt with kindly by a prominent woman which scripture only refers to as the Shunammite Woman.

.

“Then he (Elisha) said to Gehazi his servant, ‘Call this Shunammite.’ And he had called her, she stood before him. And he said to him, ‘Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what can I do for you? Would you be spoken for to the king or to the captain of the army?’ And she answered, ‘I live among my own people.”[38]

.

This Shunammite Woman asked for nothing, but she had found favor in the eyes of the Lord’s servant. “So he (Elisha) said, ‘What then is to be done for her?’ And Gehazi answered, ‘Truly she has no son and her husband is old.’ And he said, ‘Call her.’ When he had called her, she stood in the doorway. Then he said, “At this season next year you shall embrace a son.’ And she said, ‘No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant.”[39]

.

Unbelievable are similarities, she is told that “at this season next year you shall embrace a son” and Abraham is told, “At this time next year… Sarah your wife shall have a son.”[40] And where Sarah laughed at the impossibility, the Shunammite Woman cries out, “No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant.” As if to say, don’t over promise and under deliver, don’t let me get my hopes up then let me down. Her words shout that this is an impossibility for her and her old husband.

.

But the next verse brings the good news, “And the woman conceived and bore a son at that season the next year, as Elisha had said to her.”[41] However, this was not the happy ending to our story. After the child had grown he returned from working the field with his father and died in the lap of his mother. This son which was promised by a messenger of God dying in his youth was miraculously raised from the dead.

.

Prophetic Fulfillment in Jesus

.

In the last chapter we discussed how Jesus was born on the religious calendar in the seventh month (Tishri), please notice that one year prior Mary is visited by a messenger of God (an angel). “Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee, called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.”[42] Just like both Sarah and the Shunimmite Woman the message arrives about one year prior to the miraculous birth of a son.

.

“And the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.”[43] And like both Sarah and the Shunimmite Woman, Mary has found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Mary is then told that about this son, “He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and His kingdom will have no end.”[44]

.

And just like it was unbelievable to both Sarah and the Shunammite Woman, “Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a virgin?’ And the angel answered and said to her… ‘For nothing will be impossible with God.”[45] This echoes the words spoken to Sarah, “Is anything too difficult for the LORD?”

.

And like both Isaac and the Shunimmite Woman’s Son, Jesus was raised from the dead. This is what is so amazing about the Word of God it is full of types and shadows leading to fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

.

Born in Bethlehem

.

The divinity of Jesus is foretold by the prophet Micah when we look at the prophecy of His birth. “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity.”[46] Who is from long ago, from the days of eternity? Only God is. Jesus, God in the human flesh born as predicted by the prophet in Bethlehem to be the ruler and shepherd for Israel.

.

Now if Bethlehem is the birth place chosen by God for His Son, then there must be something very special about this place. The first mention of this place is Genesis 35:19 which says; “So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).” Rachel died giving birth to the 12th son of Jacob. Let’s examine the story for hidden clues to this place where Jesus was born.

.

“Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe labor. And it came about when she was in severe labor that the midwife said to her, ‘Do not fear, for now you have another son.’ And it came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni.”[47] Here at the birth of the second son by her womb, Rachel cries out to name the son “Ben-oni” which means “son of sorrows” in Hebrew.

.

Rachel gives us a prophetic picture of Jesus born there nearly 2000 years later and called by the prophet Isaiah, “A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.”[48] But the father would not allow his son to be named “Ben-oni” the son of sorrows; “but his father called him Banjamin.”[49]

.

Son of Sorrows becomes the Son of the Right Hand

.

Benjamin in the Hebrew means Son of the Right Hand. Twenty-two times in the New Testament Jesus is referred to as being at the right hand of the Father. So the Son of Sorrows does become the Son of the Right Hand and it all began in a little town called Bethlehem.

.

Then how does David call Him Lord?

.

“Now while the Pharisees were together, Jesus asked them a question, saying, “What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?” They said to Him, “The son of David.” He said to them, “Then how does David in the Spirit call Him Lord,’ saying, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I put thine enemies beneath Thy feet” ’? “If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?” And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.”[50]

.

David would only refer to God as his Lord. In this 110th Psalm, David reveals the Father and the Son; “The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet.” The LORD will stretch forth Thy strong scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of Thine enemies.” Thy people will volunteer freely in the day of Thy power; In holy array, from the womb of the dawn, Thy youth are to Thee as the dew.”[51]

.

David saw the Father in Heaven and the Son of the right hand but notice David also sees the followers of Jesus and says of them, “Thy people will volunteer freely in the day of Thy power.” These are true bondservants, true love slaves of the Most High God dressed in their holy array.

.

In the second Psalm we hear from the voice of each member of the Trinity. In the first 5 verses of the 2nd Psalm the Holy Spirit speaks, followed by the Father speaking in the 6th verse, and finally the last 6 verses the Son speaks. Read it yourself and see if you can hear each of the voices of the Trinity.

.

The Holy Spirit speaks first saying; “Why are the nations in an uproar. And the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed. “Let us tear their fetter apart, and cast away their cords from us!” He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them in His fury.”[52]

.

Then God the Father says; “But as for Me, I hae installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain.”[53]

.

Finally the Son of God speaks and He says; “I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘Thou art My Son, today I have begotten Thee. ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Thy possession. ‘Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.’ Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the LORD with reverence, and rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!”[54]

.

Behold, I have come

.

No birth has been so looked forward to or celebrated since, with some over 300 Old Testament prophecies being fulfilled in the conception, birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus himself pointed to Psalm 40:7, which says, “Then I said, “Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me).”[55] Don’t miss this Messiah is saying, I come, and what is written in the whole scroll is written about me.

.

I love it, here it says, and “I come!” Who? It’s the Bless God who comes down teaching. Jesus spent three and a half years conveying this message that the entirety of the scroll is about me. Jesus claim to be God in both words and by his actions. Jesus said, “Before Abraham was born, I am.”[56] Here Jesus made reference to being before Abraham and at the same time referencing Himself as the great “I Am” that met Moses at the burning bush.[57]

.

Just examine the references made by Jesus or about Him. These references refer to His Divine nature and His desire to bring His light and His live into our lives. He spent three years articulating this, Jesus said; “I am the bread of life.”[58] “I am the light of the world.”[59] “I am from above.”[60] “I am not of this world.”[61] “I am the door.”[62] “I am the good shepherd.”[63] “I am the resurrection.”[64] “I am the life.”[65] “I am the truth.”[66] “I am the way.”[67] “I am the true vine.”[68]

.

Jesus is the living water; He is the cornerstone; He is the Sun of righteousness; He is the hidden treasure; He is the great physician; He is the good teacher; He is the lily of the valley; He is the rock of ages; He is the righteous one; He is the pearl of great price; He is wisdom; He is the Word; He is the Alpha and the Omega. Jesus is the one. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one will come to the Father except by and through Him. Jesus came to give life, life eternal! John 10:10 confirms this when Jesus says, “I came that they might have life”… life to the full. And what is the life to the full? It is eternal life!

.

What is eternal life?

.

So what is eternal life? Many might answer, ‘oh, that’s living forever’ or ‘that’s going to heaven’. But Jesus tells us what eternal life is, in John 17 prior to His crucifixion it says; “These thing Jesus spoke; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, ‘Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that the Son may glorify Thee, even as Thou gavest Him authority over all mankind, that to all whom Thou hast given Him, He may give eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.”[69] To know God is to have life to the full!

.

What does it mean to know God? This is an intimate fellowship, to intimately know, like Adam knew Eve. In the letter to the Ephesians Paul writes saying; I “make mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.”[70] Paul prayed for the believers in Ephesus that they might know God.

.

He wrote to the church in Philippi about all his earthly achievements, saying if anyone has room to boast it should be me. Paul wrote; I was “circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless. But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in the view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”[71]

.

The Apostle Paul saw all his achievements as rubbish, counting them all as if a lose. Compared to the surpassing value of knowing Jesus, when he looked at his life, he saw knowing Jesus greater than any achievement, than any amount of money. Here is what the prophet Jeremiah wrote regarding knowing the Lord; “Thus says the LORD, ‘Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me.”[72]

.

This is my prayer for you that you would come to know the Jesus and the Father through the power of His Holy Spirit. My hope is that after these first three chapters that you would understand that God dwelt with man at creation and then entered humanity in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Man was appointed mortal sorrow, but the blessed God came down teaching.

.

Take a few minutes right now and think about the greatness of God to enter humanity in spite of how we have rejected and ignored Him, then die on a cross to pay a penalty for sin that was our to pay. In the next chapter we will finish our exploration of the first coming of Jesus, we will do so by look at how His death brings the captives rest.
