GOD MANIFESTED IN FLESH. THE MAN CHRIST JESUS NO. 5

GOD MANIFESTED IN FLESH. THE MAN CHRIST JESUS NO. 5

I quite agree with you that the time has come for speaking out.

One or two have written to me about ————’s paper, as to the way he writes of the Lord’s obedience. I have answered that every moral quality was in the Lord; He learned nothing from man, but the circumstances into which He entered by becoming a Man brought out the obedience. He learned obedience; I do not think that the sui generis order of Christ’s humanity is apprehended. His motives and acts were different from any ever known by Adam or any of his sons, and yet He was a real Man, but He was a corn of wheat altogether unique. Even ———— used to speak of the difference between the holy nature and the innocent nature. Many think that the blessed Lord reverted to the latter. He was God manifest in flesh.

As to the objection raised against your saying that Jehovah will dwell among His people in the millennium, surely the new Jerusalem would be as nothing if He were not there. The glory, as I understand it, will then be manifested by the new Jerusalem.
