re one." John 10:30.
Because of his divinity he is eternal. "I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the ending." Rev. 1:8. He is omnipotent. "I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty." He is able to subdue all things
unto himself. Phil. 3:21. "All power is given unto me in heaven and in
earth." Mat. 28:18. He is omnipresent. "For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Mat.
18:20. "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Mat.
28:20. He is omniscient. "He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the
third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord thou knowest all
things; thou knowest that I love thee." John 21:17. "Now we are sure that
thou knowest all things." John 16:30. He is immutable. "Jesus Christ the
same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." Heb. 13:8.
His mission to this world was to be offered as a sacrifice for the sins of
this world. "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many." Heb.
9:28. God prepared a body for his Son which he could bring as a sacrifice
for the sins of many. "But a body hast thou prepared me." Heb. 10:5.
Truly, "without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached
unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." 1
Tim. 3:16. The writers of the Gospels record the event of his crucifixion.
On the cross he cried, "It is finished." His mission was completed, the
sacrifice was made, the blood was shed. The blood has a great atoning
power, the devastation caused by sin is covered by the blood. It destroys
the works of the devil.
Provision was made by the atoning blood for sickness as well as for sin.
"When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed
with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all
that were sick: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."
Mat. 8:16, 17. God manifested in the flesh is a perfect Redeemer, the
conqueror of sin, sickness and death, the destroyer of Satan's works, and
the light of the world.
God The Holy Ghost.
That the Holy Spirit is a personage many question. But the doubts and
denials
