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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
