https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 4 * BOOK 73 INCARNATE CHRIST: GOD BECOMES MAN Genesis 3:15 and Galatians 4:4 It is so good to have everyone in again this afternoon. For those of you joining us on television, again we want to thank you for everything: your letters, your help, and your prayers. My, how we appreciate your prayers. We know that without them we would never be where we are. Well, I don’t know whether the camera is going to be ready or not, but we’d like to let our TV audience know that I’ve got part of the family with us today. I’ve got my son, who is back there on the ranch with me and works in the ministry, and his wife and their son Jesse. There, they got them on camera. Okay, there’s Greg and Janette, and there’s Jesse and even got Roberta in there! Roberta is just a dear friend of Laura’s. And again, we always appreciate what people do for our ministry. A lot of you know that it’s a family run operation. And we like to keep it that way. Before we get started with this study, Iris wants to always remind our audience that we still have our one and only book, and we don’t sell it for a fundraiser. We just sell it because it’s such a good informational tool. And that’s the question and answer book. Feel free to call the ministry, and we send them out postage paid for $11.00. It’s not a money-making thing whatsoever. All right, let’s move right on. This is our fourth program on the incarnate Christ, and we’re going to look a little more at His humanity. Then we’re going to look for the rest of the hour at His Deity. So, turn with me to Acts chapter 2 verse 22. The Day of Pentecost and Peter is preaching to the Nation of Israel. This is after His resurrection, about ten days after His ascension, and look what Peter says. Acts 2:22a “Ye men of Israel, (You see how Jewish all this still is. Not a word concerning Gentiles.) hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, (What?) a man (See that?) approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,…” Now, on what basis did He do the miracles and signs? Well, His Deity, but on the other hand He was human. We’ve got the two sides of the coin all the way through here. Acts 2:22b-24 “… a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23. Him, (This Jesus of Nazareth, the incarnate God) being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24. Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.” All right, now let’s move over to a statement by the Apostle Paul. Go over to I Timothy chapter 2, and we get the same kind of language. Then we’re going to switch over on the other side of the coin and look at His Deity. I might as well start at verse 1. I Timothy 2:1-2 “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2. For kings, (presidents, prime ministers) and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quite and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” Without corruption. That’s what it means. Oh, that we could have honesty in government. I Timothy 2:3-4 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” He would, but they won’t. You know, someone got the idea one time—in fact I’m seeing more and more of it as the deception is coming in from every direction. There are more and more people who are subscribing to the fact that sooner or later everybody is going to end up in heaven. Universalism—I think is one of the words they’re using—but, that’s not what my Bible teaches. All right, but God would. He would love to see all people come to a knowledge of the truth, but they will not. All right, move on to verse 5. I Timothy 1:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the (What?) man Christ Jesus;” All right, now Hebrews chapter 1, let’s go look at it again. I referred to it in the last program, but let’s turn ahead from Timothy to Hebrews. Again, start at verse 1. Now don’t lose sight of what we just read in Timothy, that there is one mediator between God and men, and it’s the man Christ Jesus. All right, now Hebrews is going to tell us where the man is mediating from. Hebrews 1:1-2 “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers (That is to the Nation of Israel.) by the prophets. (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and all the rest of them. But this same God now--) 2. Hath in these last days (Speaking of His first advent—His earthly ministry, His passion, His resurrection, and His ascension #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
