The Daily Word of Righteousness
Two Beginnings, #10
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Hebrews 2:9)
In the present hour man is lower in status than the angels.
"But we see Jesus"!
Throughout history the Lord God of Heaven has given glimpses of the many aspects of His eternal plan. The Old and New Testaments contain numerous insights into the Father's mind. Still the revelation goes forward as God gives to saints on the earth the understanding of the Scriptures. The angels of the heavens desire to look into and understand what it is God is doing.
. . . which things the angels desire to look into. (I Peter 1:12)
The saints in light, a cloud of numerous witnesses, are gaining insight into the plan of redemption as it unfolds through saints on the earth. We of today have profited from their witness. Now they are profiting from our witness. We are all coming to perfection together.
We have arrived now at the greatest of all events thus far. The Logos, the everlasting Expression of the Father, is made flesh.
The Logos becomes flesh. It is useless to speak of a comparable event in history. No occurrence in all of spiritual or physical history compares in significance with the fact that the eternal Logos, the Expression of the invisible God, took upon Himself the form of man.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: (Luke 1:30-32)
The Logos, the Son of God, the Anointed One, now has a human name. His name is Jesus. We call Him Christ (Messiah) Jesus—Jesus the Anointed One of God. A little later He will be known as the Lamb of God and also the Lion of Judah.
Jesus "shall be great." Jesus "shall be called the Son of the Highest."
The Jewishness that always shall attend the earthly dimension of the Logos was established by Gabriel: "the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David."
The Logos has become a flesh and blood and bone baby. He now is a human being with an earthly mother, although conceived by a miracle. The inscrutable Logos has come from eternity and is a boy playing around His home in the village of Nazareth.
The thundering God of Sinai comes as a lad to the elders of Israel, the doctors of the Law, and hears them and asks them questions. Well He may—He being the Torah revealed in flesh!
The Logos from eternity past walks along the dusty street of Jerusalem. The women bake their bread. The men hoe in the fields or watch their sheep. The Lord of David, the "I Am," preaches His matchless words (the very Words of the Father dwelling in Him) and works His miracles.
All life should have stopped! The villagers should have been prostrate on the ground! The chief priests and elders should have run from the Temple and cried out for Christ to save them!
But none of this happened. The Logos was as a root out of a dry ground.
To be continued.
