THE SONSHIP OF JESUS COMPARED TO THE SONSHIP OF ADAM

God bless you for taking the time to study.

THE SONSHIP OF JESUS COMPARED TO THE SONSHIP OF ADAM

TEXT: LUKE 3:38 

TUESDAY MARCH 21st 

Key verse: Matthew 1:22 “Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
Adam was not born through God meeting with a woman. God created him. God gave existence to Adam. He was not born through the copulation of a man and a woman. He was the direct creation of God. In this Scripture, Adam is called son which begins with a small letter because his sonship is not the same thing as Jesus' Sonship to God. That of Adam means that God created him but Jesus as “the only begotten Son of God” shows that He came from heaven as the second Person in the Godhead, being God Himself.
Jesus called Himself the Son of man to show that He was completely man and could be hungry, tempted by the devil and was subject to God in heaven and to suffering in the body. The Scripture confirms that Jesus has been in existence as God in heaven. Adam was from beneath, created in this world but Jesus as a Son was not created and was not of this world. Jesus was from above. He said, “I am not of this world.” Jesus was not just a man but God Himself in human flesh. From eternity Jesus did not bear the title “Son” but He bore it for the purpose of redemption. 
The Father sent Jesus for human redemption but this title was not there from eternity past. The name “Jesus” was not His eternal name because that name means “Saviour.” Before mankind came into this world there was no need for salvation, hence, there was no need for a Saviour. The name became necessary when mankind became sinful and God had to put in place a redemption plan. The name “Jesus” is an earthly name and others bore that name too. “Jesus” means God is our Saviour, anybody can bear that name in the expression of that truth but as the Saviour of mankind, that name has been attached to Him forever. When we call that name now our hearts go to Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Thought for the day: The son-ship of Jesus is different from that of Adam

Song for the day: Jesus is the Alpha, Alph, and Omega …

Bible reading for the day: Joshua 4-6; Luke 2:1-24

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
