 Thank you for joining class. We will begin. We were looking at, what were we looking studying on Friday? What did we study? The lot servant. Yes, Lucy. The lot servant through the verses ratio 42, 1, 6 and 7. Okay, we were looking at the servant songs, but what are we basically studying in this chapter? Who established the new covenant and has a high priest who officiated the covenant by springing off his blood, and he's a testator to make the new covenant effective. Okay. The new covenant, which is embodied within the messiah. Okay. Thank you, Lucy. But why are we studying all of this? So what is the topic? Promise of his coming, the prophecies. Okay, promise of his coming, the prophecies regarding what? Uh, which has got fulfilled. Second coming, the prophecies of his birth. Yes, his incarnation. Right. God becoming flesh, God becoming man. Where's Deeksha? She's not well. Okay. Okay. So we'll continue. We began looking at, um, we were looking at studying some of the prophecies. Okay. And we looked at Isaiah chapter 42 versus, um, 1, 6 and 7. And we said, this is one of the servant songs. This is the ninth prophecy that we were looking regarding the prophecies concerning the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Okay. So we looked at, um, three things that we, um, important three facts about the servant. What is the first important fact, what we learned from Isaiah 42? What is the first thing we learned about the servant? He establishes the covenant. He himself was given as a covenant, okay, to the people. And what is the second, was the second thing about the servant? Testator. Okay. That is the part of the first one. He himself is the covenant. So he's also the testator. What's the second thing that we looked at? He was open blind eyes, bring prisoners out. And those are in darkness out of the prison house. Yes. Thank you. So he's a servant who would open the blind eyes, set the captives free, those in bondage he would release them from, bondage. And we see, we saw the New Testament scripture passages, we talk about the fulfillment of this in Jesus Christ. Okay. And then we also studied about Isaiah chapter nine, verses one and two about naftali and zebulin. And we looked at how the promise was fulfilled by Jesus through these tribes, saftali and zebulin. Okay. And what is the third important fact about the servant? He'll be a light to the Gentiles. He'll bring forth justice to the Gentiles. Okay. Which means we're saying that Jesus's ministry was not just to the Jews. It was not just for the Jewish people, but his ministry was also to the Gentiles. Now, why are we, sorry, why is this being elaborated or mentioned in scripture that Jesus's ministry is not just for the Jews, but also to the Gentiles? Why is it mentioned? Why is emphasis given? Salvation is for all? Yes. Jews thought the Messiah was only for them, right? They thought they are the people with the laws, the covenants, the prophets, the messiahs going to come from them. They are the chosen race, the chosen people. They have all the covenants, the laws, the prophets, the forefathers. So everything they've thought they are like the privilege, the high caste of society, so to say. Okay. But and they look down upon the Gentiles. But salvation is for Jews and Gentiles. There's no Jew nor Gentiles, slave, no free male, no female. All are one in Christ Jesus. Amen. So that is what the Messiah would come and his ministry was not just for the Jewish people, but also to the Gentiles. He will also bring righteousness and justice to them as well. Okay. So this whole task of bringing justice and righteousness to Gentiles, was it fully completed in Jesus? Fulfill the ministry. The ministry to the Gentiles is fully completed to the Jews and Gentiles is fully completed by Jesus. Ongoing system. Yes, it's ongoing. Stalusi, thank you because it is not finished. It was the task was completed in terms of the sacrifice was made. But God looks to us, we as the body of Christ, we as the church, we are here to bring forth to justice to the Gentiles and be a light to the Gentiles. So Christ is fulfilling his task in and through us his body, which is the church. Okay. And we see this even in the early church. We see that in the apostles in the early church, they also did their ministry to the Gentiles. And we look at Paul mentioning this in various places. Acts chapter 13, verses 46 to 48 is one of the places where Paul and Barnabas, you know, they say that you people had the word of God, but you rejected it. Okay. And so now we turn to the Gentiles. Okay. And God has commanded us, I have set you as a light to the Gentiles and you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth. And so what happens when the Gentiles heard this was 48. What happened to the Gentiles? Look at the Acts chapter 13, verse 48, what happens to them when they heard? Yes, they were very happy and they glorified God. Why? Because they were also included in the plan of salvation. They're also part of the eternal life and many of them believed. Okay. So that was the last bit of the portion that we had left incomplete in the last class when we were looking at the prophecy in Isaiah chapter 46, 42, verses 1, 6, and 7. So any questions regarding the prophecies concerning the incarnation of Jesus Christ? There are many more, but we looked at some important ones. Any questions, any queries, anything that you don't, did not understand, you want me to explain before we move on to the next chapter, chapter 5. No questions, no clarifications, anything you want me to explain again. Okay. We'll move on to chapter 5 where we will try to understand the incarnation. What is incarnation? What is incarnation? Taking on human form. Taking on human form, God becoming human, God becoming flesh. Okay. So we look at our focus will be not on the historical aspect in terms of how Jesus lived, where he went, what he did, and all of those things, but rather on the spiritual implications. What is spiritual through implications that we will gain? So we look at, we'll gain a few insights of the how of incarnation, how God became human. Okay. How did humanity and divinity exist in perfect unity in the person of Jesus Christ? How was he fully God? How was he fully man at the same time? How was he 100% God? How was he 100% man at the same time? Okay. So we'll look and gain a biblical perspective of his incarnation. Okay. And we'll also look at what happened when the eternal God, how when deity became human or deity became, took on humanity. Okay. Again, we look at the spiritual implications of this and not the historical aspect, how he walked on the earth, how we live, what he did. Okay. So we'll begin by looking at the biblical perspective of his incarnation. Again, we will look at John chapter one versus one to three, but I'm not going to focus on that because we studied that quite a bit in chapter one and chapter two. We look at verse 14. So can somebody please read John chapter one verse 14, please. And the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Yes. So we see that the word became flesh. The word became God. You know, sorry, the word was God. The word was with God in the beginning and God became man. Okay. The word became flesh and dwelt amongst us and we beheld his glory. The glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Okay. So why do you think Jesus became or took on humanity? Why did divinity, why did God become man or why did divinity become humanity? Why did God become man? Why did he take on the human nature? Why? Okay. Showing, setting as an example, being a model, okay, that we can overcome temptation, we can live the life, follow the laws that he's given us because people in the Old Testament were struggling to keep the laws. Okay. We couldn't match up to the law. We couldn't live according to the law. Okay. So he came to fulfill the law, keep the law and show us as an example. Okay. Why did the word become flesh? Why did divinity become humanity? Take on humanity. Why? Sanjay says to show us the way, the truth and the life. Okay. People says to save mankind. Yes. One of the reasons why God became man was so that he can make the full sufficient, perfect sacrifice. Only a sinless person can make the full sufficient and perfect sacrifice that will appease God. Okay. Lucy says for our salvation, what else? Other than salvation, to manifest who God is, to show us who God is. Okay. What's the meaning of manifest? Showing, showing who he is, showing his works. Manifest means getting into reality. The word of God manifested himself means, you know, and in Jesus, we could see the father means in a very real way, in a very tangible way, the way that we can touch, experience, feel. Okay. So it was Jesus who became man, God becoming man so that we can understand the Godhead. We can understand the father. He came to manifest who the father was. He came to manifest the nature of the father. Okay. The attributes and the characteristics of the father. And so the word became flesh. When we talk about word becoming flesh, you know, what do we mean? What do we mean by flesh? Human. The word became human. Okay. Okay. Becoming human, being human. Okay. Here an in-person student says in a tangible way, we can experience, we can relate to in a real way. Yes. The word became flesh means what? It's not just becoming human, but it's taking on the fullness of humanity. Okay. So even though Jesus was fully God, he was 100% God, but yet he took on the fullness of humanity. So when he said he took on the fullness of humanity means what? He was 100% human. He went through the struggles and the challenges that we face as humans. Right. Was he tired? Was he hungry? Was he lonely? Deserted? Did he hurt in his body? Yes. Did he sleep? Yes. So, you know, we see that he took on the fullness of humanity. He went through everything in the natural process of a human being. Why? Why did he have to do that? Why did he have to do that? Why did he become so fully human? Why did the eternal logos take on the fullness of humanity? No answers? Tell me. You can use the mic. Okay. It's okay. It doesn't matter. There are many students. Okay. So here an in-person student, he was speaking in Hindi, so he didn't want to use the mic. He says, God had given Adam an authority in the Garden of Eden and when they sinned, they lost that authority and Jesus came to take back that authority from Satan and also to set us an example to show us how we can flow in that authority. But you know, in the boundaries that God has given us, how we can still use that authority and how we can glorify God, how we can extend his kingdom. Yes. Sanjay says to identify with us in our pains and our struggles. Yes. To identify in our pains and struggles. That's why the writer of Hebrew says we have a high priest who identifies with us, who went through temptation just like we go through, but yet did not sin. So what is he saying? Hey, Jesus was fully human like you and me. He went through temptations, but he did not yield to temptations, which means it means that when you face temptation that you can also not yield to temptation. Lucy says to set us an example and a model. Yes. So he took on the fullness of humanity so he can identify with us. He can identify with our struggles, with our challenges. He can identify with what we are going through and also we can identify with him. And we can become his representatives here on earth. When he created Adam and Eve, how did he create Adam and Eve in his image? Exactly like him. Why did God create Adam and Eve in his image? Because he wanted them to represent him here on earth. He wanted to be he wanted us to be the people who would manifest his glory here on earth. So that is why he became the fullness of humanity so he can understand us and he can also set us an example. So here it says that the word became flesh and dwelt among us. What does the meaning of dwelt mean? Dwelt means dwelling in tents. In the Old Testament we see most of the time when people journeyed they dwelt in tents and also here dwelt literally means tabernacle dwelling. In Hindi they say tabernacle. Wherever they journeyed, the tabernacle journeyed along with them. The tent of meeting also journeyed along with them and it said that in the tabernacle that God manifested his glory. You know God would come there. His presence would be seen there. He would speak. He would make known his ways and what the people need to do. So God manifested his glory in that tent. So that is why here we read the writer of John is saying he's writing to the Jews. So the Jews know that in the Old Testament God dwelt with man. His presence was there in the tabernacle. So he's saying this word became flesh and dwelt among us, lived among us and we beheld his glory. So what was the glory that the people in the Old Testament saw when God manifested himself in the tabernacle? What glory did they see? Who's glory did they see? God's glory, right? When Jesus dwelt among men, what glory did they see? Sonship glory. Thank you Nelson. Why didn't we see God's glory when Jesus dwelt here on earth? How do we know it's sonship glory? Because Jesus in his high priestly prayer in John chapter 17 says, Father I finished my work. You know just before the night he, the Garden of Gethsemane was going to be betrayed. You know he says, Father finish my work and I'm coming back to you. Give me the glory I had before. You know and he says now I'm giving my glory to my disciples. So the glory he was talking about that he's going to give us as those who believe in him is his sonship glory and he's saying now give me back the glory when I come back. He's talking about the glory that he had as deity as God. Now when we're saying that Jesus is 100% God, 100% man, humanity and divinity coexist in perfect unity in the person of Jesus Christ. Why didn't Jesus manifest his the glory of God? Why did he manifest sonship glory? When we say that word became flesh, divinity became becoming humanity and in Jesus, deity and humanity existed in perfect unity, perfect oneness. Jesus was completely God, completely man, 100% God, 100% man. But why didn't he manifest his, even though he was 100% God, why didn't he manifest his the glory of God? Why did he manifest the sonship glory when he lived here on this earth? In the Old Testament they saw the glory of divinity, God being manifested. Why did Jesus not manifest his the glory of deity? Why did he manifest the sonship glory? Do you are able to understand my question? Yes, did you ever think about it? If you look at John chapter 17, it talks about the glory of Jesus and did not have his, he had the sonship glory. If you look at John chapter 17, so look at verse 22. And the glory which you gave me, I have given them and they may be just as we are. Where does he say, God, give me back the glory that I had? So what is the answer to my question? Look at verse four and five. I have glorified you. Look at verse four and five. I've glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work which you've given to me and now your father glorified me together with yourself with the glory which I had with you before the world wars. And then in verse 22 he says in the glory which you gave me, I've given them that they may be one just as we are one. So why did Jesus not manifest his the glory of deity? Why did he manifest the sonship glory when he lived here on this earth? Because he had taken the form of human. So he had given up his the powers that God had like you know being omnipresent and omniscient. So and he always referred on earth to the father. He prayed to the father and that's what he taught us to do as well. I think I did have another right track. Yeah, he did not choose to exercise his power of being omnipotent, his attributes of being, sorry not power attributes of being omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. He refrained from using it even though he was fully God. Yeah, okay. It's there in verse 24, Father, I desire that they also whom you gave me, maybe with me where I am that they may behold my glory which you have given me. So on that ground it's like the glory that the Son has received. He's given it to us. Yes, we receive the sonship glory, but my question is why didn't he manifest his the glory of deity? Why did he manifest sonship glory? First Timothy, yes, sorry, he limited himself or refrained himself from using it. Why? First Timothy chapter 6 verse 16 says, you know, no one has seen, yes, Sunday says no one can see God with their physical eyes and live, right? God lives in unapproachable light, to no man has seen or can ever see. So if Jesus came and he wanted to reveal the heart of the Father to us and if he wanted to be that sacrifice for sin, okay, and if he manifested his sonship glory, could we even walk along with him, touch him, experience him in a tangible way? Yes or no? If he manifested the glory of God, could we walk along with him, experience him in a tangible, in a real way? No, we can't because it says here that he's when he manifests the glory of God, you know, no eye can see him. He lives in unapproachable light, no man has seen or can ever see. We can't see, right? We will still be like people in the Old Testament trying to understand God and imagine if he manifested the glory of deity, no one could crucify him on the cross. He can't lay hands on, you know, on the glory of God, can't even come near it. It's like, we can't even think of imagining going anywhere near the sun. We leave on millions of kilometers away from the sun. Okay, so that is why Jesus refrained from using his the glory of deity, but he took on the sonship glory so that we can experience him in a real tangible way and he can fulfill the will of the Father. He can complete the work of the Father for which he came. So he refrained from using, like Warren also says, refrained from being omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. Also refrained to study about it in Philippians. Also refrained from manifesting his the deity of the glory of God. Okay, so when we talk about the word dwelt among us, it basically means tabernacle, where so when when Jesus lived, we were able to see the glory of God because we were able to see it with our naked eyes. We were able to experience it. We were able to experience his healing. We were able to experience his miracles in a very tangible and a real way. He could touch the eyes of the blind man. Okay, he could raise the dead back to life. He could hold their hands. He could do all of those things. People could experience him. He could carry children. You know, he could speak to them. He could relate to them like a human in a real way because he was manifesting the sonship glory, but through his sonship glory, he was still manifesting the glory of God, which means what do we mean by manifesting the glory of God? What do we mean when you say manifesting the glory of God is to put into action, put into action. When we talk about, we are called to manifest the glory of God or Jesus manifested the glory of God. It basically means manifesting who God is and what he does. Okay, please don't forget this. Two things. Manifesting the glory of God means who God is, his nature, his attributes and what he does, the miracle signs, things that he works out in our lives. So how is the glory of God manifested in our lives through who God is? And that's the work of the fruit of the spirit. The fruit of the spirit is very evident in our lives. It basically manifests the nature of God and what God does is manifest it through the gifts of the spirit. Okay, and Jesus desires that we manifest his glory just like when he created Adam and Eve and that's why he says in John chapter 17 verse 22, God, you know, Father, I'm giving them the glory which you have given me that they may be one just as we are, one and we can also manifest and continue his work here on. All of you with me? Yes, all of you able to understand? I was going above your heads. Some of you are just looking at me very puzzled. What about the online students? All of you understanding? Yes, no? Okay, so we see that in the Old Testament, God lived and moved with his people. So whatever people moved, they moved from place to place. Daniel, can you please mute your mic? Daniel, can you please mute your mic, Daniel? Yeah, thank you. Okay, so we see that wherever the Israelites moved, the tabernacle also moved with them. And we see that God dwelling among his people, moving with his people, providing for his people and he manifested his glory, manifested who he is and what he can do. He did, you know, God water from the rock, he provided manna, he, you know, was gave them light during the night time, you know, shielded them from the sun during the day. So we see the experienced God in a real way. So also in Incarnation, we see God coming and dwelling with mankind, okay, God living with mankind and we beheld his glory. We could see the glory of God which was manifested in Jesus. So the glory that Jesus manifested when he lived here on the earth is the sonship glory, okay. That is what we read in John chapter 1 verse 14, and we beheld his glory, the glory of the one and only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. So what was the glory that Jesus manifested when he lived here on the earth? He manifested his sonship glory, okay. Now the Greek word for glory is doxa. It basically means honor, reputation, reputation or esteeming a person, okay. So to the word doxa and the New Testament, when you read glory, it means doxa in Greek and it basically means honor, splendor and majesty. So when Jesus came, he manifested the splendor, the power, the glory, the majesty of God. And when we manifest the glory of God, we're also doing the stain, okay. And his glory was characterized by grace and truth, okay. His glory was manifested by grace and truth, okay. That's why we see that Jesus says, I am the way, the truth and the life and we see grace, compassion and mercy that he shows forth. So when we're trying to understand, hey, how can this, you know, how can Jesus be fully God and yet be fully man? How can he be 100% God and how can he be 100% man the same time, okay. We can know this because, you know, Jesus, who being the eternal word or the eternal God, he submitted himself to certain limitations, okay. He limited himself to certain things. He submitted himself to certain limitations which he did not want. He refrained from using it so that he can fulfill the will of the Father even as he's come here on the earth. And for us, it's not very easy to understand, right. We can't understand how can divinity, humanity exist in perfect unity in the person of Jesus Christ. How can he be fully God, fully man? We cannot completely understand. We completely cannot define it, okay. And we only can understand what is being revealed to us, okay. And we know that Jesus could reveal only what could be revealed in the limitations of his humanness, only what can be understood by us. So he refrained from using those, those nature and attributes that would, would refrain him from, you know, expressing himself to us or expressing who God the Father is to us or fulfilling the will of the Father. So he refrained from using that. We will study that in a little more and you'll be able to understand, okay. So the important thing we need to understand is that, you know, of course, we can't understand how Jesus was truly God, truly man, fully God, fully man, okay. He did not become, but we need to understand that he did not become flesh in the sense of seizing to be what he eternally was. That means when Jesus became human, he did not seize or he did not stop being God. That is something that you need to remember, okay. He did not, when he became flesh, he did not seize to be what he eternally was. Who, who was he eternally? He was eternally God. So he did not stop from being God, rather the eternal God took on the fullness of humanity, which means in his body, in his soul, in his spirit, he was fully human and he was also fully God, but he limited himself to the manifestations of the divinity, limited himself to the manifestation of the divinity, means he did not manifest the glory of God. He refrained from being omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniceant. We'll study all of that more in detail and you will be able to understand, okay. Now let us look at Hebrews chapter 1 verses 1, 2, 3. Can somebody read that please? Before we read Hebrews chapter 1 verses 1 to 3, anyone has any questions, any doubts? All of you are able to understand? Yes, no? Okay. Can we, someone please read Hebrews chapter 1 verses 1 to 3 please? God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds, who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power when he had by himself purged out, purged our sins sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high. Amen. So here we see that God has spoken to us through his Son, okay. So everything that the Father wanted to reveal to us is revealed through the Son. The word incarnate is basically God himself speaking to man, God himself speaking to us, okay. So we look at two other facts about Incarnation or regarding Incarnation in this passage that we read or this verses that we read. First thing we look at is Jesus with the brightness of God's glory. The second thing he's the express image of God's person, okay. If you look at the first one God Jesus is the brightness of God's glory. If we look at this in the amplified Bible he says it says or he's the express image of his person. You know if you look at the amplified Bible says he's a perfect imprint and the very image of God's nature. That means exactly how God is his nature where he looks the perfect imprint is seen in Jesus, okay. The Jerusalem Bible says he's the perfect copy of his nature, okay. The new international version says he's the exact representation of his being, okay. And the literal Greek Bible says who being radiant of the glory and the representation of the reality of him. Which means we're saying hey Jesus was fully man but he was also fully God, okay. And we see in Jesus the perfect, the very image of God's nature. We see the perfect copy of his nature. We see the exact representation of his being, okay. So let's look at what it means that Jesus is the brightness of God's glory, okay. God's glory is basically manifesting who God is and what he does. His nature, his attributes and his works, okay. So all this is expressed in was expressed in Jesus. You know when Jesus lived here on this earth people were able to see and experience the nature of God and what God does, okay. So it says here that Jesus is the brightness which means what does it mean? Jesus the brightness of God's glory which means the nature and the attributes of the character of God is seen out shining in Jesus. When you look at some people they stand out compared to the rest of us, right. They outshine compared to the rest of us. So you know basically Jesus was you know the brightness of God's glory means he was out shining the nature and the character of God. So all who God is was seen, was manifest, was shown out through Jesus. What do we mean when we say that Jesus is the express image of God's person? It basically means he's a perfect copy. He's the exact representation or it's like in reality seeing God himself, okay. Who God really is was seen through the nature and the characteristic of Jesus. So the incarnation you know of Jesus we receive the complete revelation of the living God. It's not just seeing the nature but also hearing what God wants to speak to us or reveal to us. The mysteries of the kingdom of God was revealed to us by Jesus, okay. So Jesus is a complete manifestation of God or he's the complete revelation of the living God. So everything that we want to understand and know about who God is can be seen in the person and the image of Jesus Christ, okay. Isn't that wonderful, right? You know just imagine this God who lives in unapproachable light who's so glorious, so magnificent, so great, so awesome, so powerful would just want to limit himself to come and live amongst us to reveal who God is, to reveal the heart of God, to reveal the nature of God, to reveal the attributes of God. It just it kind of blows our mind to just think you know you know God can think of me a significant insignificant person like me, a small speck in this huge world that you know he thought about us. He thought about us weak humans, fallen humans, frail humans who do not want to obey him, who do not want to continue loving him, who choose the things of this world but yet he thinks so big of us, he thinks so great of us and when he does things for us, the things that he does for us is so great, is so you know we stand in awe of it, it just blows our mind to think that you know we're just so small, we're weaklings you know and yet this great big God wants to come and manifest himself, show us the nature, show us the attributes, show us the character of God. Isn't that amazing that you know he limited himself, he refrained from using his his nature and attributes of being deities so that we can see, we can understand, we can experience him in such a real way so that we can have a real relationship with him and this is what you know he comes to fulfill his whole plan and purpose to have a communion, to have fellowship, to have relationship and all this Jesus did or God did for us is because he wants to have a relationship with you and me, he wants to communicate with us, he wants us to experience him and not only that you know he it also says in Ephesians that he's the fullness of the deity is being given to each one of us, you know the fullness of Godhead is being given to each one of us that means he wants us to experience him in the fullest sense so now don't restrict yourself from experiencing who God is in the fullest sense because he wants to reveal all of him to us so be greedy, be hungry, be desirous for more of him, say God I want to experience more of you, who you are, your nature, your love, your power God I want to just experience that even when you are reading the New Testament you can read familiar passages of scripture but now look at it with a different perspective from now saying hey here is this God you know who laid aside his refrain from using his glory of deity took on the sonship glory so that I can know him so say God even as I'm reading this familiar passage you know in the gospels I've read it thousands of times or hundreds of times and listened to it but you came to manifest yourself you came to manifest your nature and reveal your mysteries to us so reveal your truths to me even as I'm reading this scripture you know when we do that he's going to really breathe on his word and his word is going to come so alive and so we can just experience his manifest presence in such a powerful and such a real way can we do that at least for all that he's done looking at his word and just experiencing him and desiring him more in the way that he's come to reveal him as self to us okay so we see that in Colossians 1 chapter 1 verse 15 it says Jesus is the image of the invisible God okay isn't it wonderful that we can't see God but yet so wonderful to know that same God has come to reveal himself to us and 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 verse 4 says that you know Christ who is the image of God which means he's the he's not the avatar of God he's not somebody who's just taking on a form of something you know like when we act in the skits and on you know you can act like king you can act like a beggar you can act like Jesus you can you don't become Jesus right you just act you can act like a Samaritan woman but you don't become the Samaritan woman so we but when Jesus and it says here Jesus is the image of the invisible God it does not mean that he took on you know an avatar it means he's the exact representation he's the exact revelation okay so in the incarnation the invisible God becomes visible okay any questions so far any questions or we'll study Philippians chapter 2 verses 6 to 8 and you will understand you know incarnation in a much more deeper way any questions just one more minute are you able to understand yes can you see the bigger picture of the incarnation than just Jesus coming down to die all for your sins and receive all of that and live out that and experience him in the fullest sense okay there no questions will end class we'll yes can you please take the Mike Nelson so that others can listen to your question in John chapter 1 verse 14 the word is used as begotten so actually I want to know about more actually begotten means yes it's a good question so the word begotten basically means that you know one of a kind okay Jesus one of a kind it's from the the Greek word forget what the Greek word is but it just basically means it's it's one of a kind so when he says that he's the only begotten son of he's means his his origins is from God he's the only one who was from the father okay he does not say here that he's only begotten of Mary and Joseph that means we can say he's the only son of Mary and Joseph he was not begotten of humanity because but he was begotten of God he's only one of the kind which means begotten means one of the kind so he has his origins from heaven not from humanity was not born to earthly human parents was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit but he was not begotten of Mary and Joseph was begotten of God which means he's he's God's son he's his origins are from there did that help I'll explain that when I'm looking at the son but it just basically means that yeah good question anyone else has any questions okay there are no questions we'll end class okay thank you all for joining class have a good day thank you thank you thank you thank you Boren
