Jesus Christ - The "Son of Man" and the Mission
I.
1. The mind set of Jesus Christ to completely and totally fulfill God’s
plan of salvation. He laid aside His glory as the Son of God in Heaven and
took upon Himself the humanity and
humility of man in order to fulfill the
divine plan by which sinful man could be reconciled to Holy God by the
sacrificial death of Christ on the cross.
2. He demonstrated His mind set by His complete and total submissiveness to the divine plan of salvation.
3. John 4:34, John 6:38, Luke 22:42, and John 19:30 each speak to the total and complete submission of the Lord Jesus Christ to the will of the Father.
II.
1. He laid aside His position, His dignity, His exalted position in heaven
for a season, and even His life as a human. For a while, on the cross, He even
gave up His intimate fellowship
with the Father as God could not look upon Him
with all the sin of the world upon Him. Thus He cried, "My God, My God,
why hast thou forsaken me?" He laid aside all the riches,
honor, praise
and everything that accrued to Him as the second member of the Triune Godhead,
in order to take upon Himself the humility of man in order to be
God’s
sinless, willing, perfect blood sacrifice in order to atone for the
sins of mankind.
2. Subjective.
3. Jesus limited Himself with respect to certain knowledge concerning
future events, i.e.,His second coming, and He limited Himself in that He could
only be in one place at a time in His
human body.
(1) In His humanity He was subject to hunger, thirst, weariness, rejection,
humiliation, and eventually death.
4. He did not limit Himself with respect to His knowledge of man, and what
is in man, nor to His knowledge of the Kingdom of God, the doctrines, the
principles and applications of
the doctrines, and things pertaining to the
Kingdom of God and eternity.
5. Jesus had the fullness of all the power and resources of heaven
available to Him. We have access to the same power and resources in and
through His name as it is needed to
fulfill and complete the mission He gives
every one of us. In short, Jesus had all the gifts of the Spirits operative
within Him, and dispenses them in this day to His own, for purposes
of
accomplishing His will.
6. Subjective.
7. Subjective.
8. Christians are the preservative and the savor of life on this earth. If,
however through compromise with the world, the believer should lose his
ability to influence the people and the
events around them in their
environment,they are no longer of any real value to the Kingdom of God.
9. Christians are the light of the world and it is through them that the
light of the life of Christ must shine. As a city that is setting on a hill
cannot be hid, neither can a believer who is
living a Spirit filled life. They
will shine in the darkness around them.
10. As a believer, live your life in such a way that the light of the life
of Jesus Christ can shine out of your life before those around you and that
they may see your lifestyle and
thereby glorify God.
