E-57 057 Notice. The Son of God, the Spirit of God, is in the man. So God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. God is a Spirit. He had no hands till He become Jesus. He had no feet, arms, legs, and so forth, till He become Jesus. He manifested... No man has seen the Father at any time, but the only Begotten has declared Him. He, God, dwelt in the body of Christ. It ought to be striking. It ought to make men wonder. He could've come down from heaven, right down the corridors of heaven, with a full Angel salute, if He wanted to. He could've been borned a full matured man. He could come down with all the pomp and glory of heaven, but He didn't choose that. He come to a stable, borned over a--a manure pile. And little Jehovah crying in a manger, little Jehovah playing as a boy, little Jehovah toiling as a man, He--He crossed His cast with us. God become human.

When Jesus Christ was borned, God was human in--on earth, manifesting God, what He was. He toiled and labored, and felt for the teen-ager. He--He went through every temptation that we go through. God did it, that He might do His own judgment justice. He--His judgment is got to be justice. If there's no justice, what good does it do to have judgment? And if there's no judgment without penalty, then it's not judgment yet. So he took the penalty of His own judgment, and died as a sinner, to condemn the sin of the world, that we, through His justice, might have reconciliation back to the throne of God in fellowship, like we did in the garden of Eden. If that's not the Gospel, I don't know it. That's exactly right. The precious Son of God. Sure God was in His Son.

GOD'S WRAPPED GIFT

53 033 It ought to be real attractive to the people. Little Jehovah crying like a baby, God made flesh in a Package. God, Who covers all space and time, was before there was a world, or a star, or a molecule, wrapped Himself in a little Package and was laid in a manger in a stable, where the manures of the cattle and sheep, and...?... up over that stable, and in this little manger, on straw or hay. Jehovah was laying there, crying like a baby. Can you imagine it?

E-74 074 But what was it? It was Jehovah, little Jehovah crying as a baby. Could they expect that terrible Jehovah that thundered off of Mount Sinai, that set the mountain on fire, that opened the Red Sea, become a Baby in a stable? Oh, that--their theology couldn't swallow that. No, indeedy, not their Messiah.

They said, "When God sends a Messiah, no doubt He'll lower the corridors of heaven down. He'll have a ten-million angel salute come down. He'll come right to the temple that Moses left for us--or the--Solomon built for us here. And He'll come right straight to this temple, and He'll accept us right here. And our high priest that we have chosen, our chief man, our state representative, or whatever it is, He'll come to him, and say, 'I have arrived. Here I am. This is Me. I'm the Messiah. Don't you recognize Me? See the corridors I've come down? I come from heaven.'" That's the way they had it figured out.

GREATER THAN SOLOMON

197 078 God came to the earth in the form of Man, and--and--and unfolded Himself, stretched His tent, from being Jehovah God to become Man to stand the shame and curse. Little Jehovah God in a manger, under a pile of manure, down there crying in a manger; God, the Creator of heavens and earth, standing there in human flesh to take the death of--of your sins upon Himself, that He might free you to be a more of a Christian than what that deer was a mother. How can you reject such matchless love? Then, besides that, He wrote His Word. That's enough. You couldn't take my word, you have to... It'd be all right, but not Him. He ascended on High and give gifts back to men. He come back in the form of the Holy Spirit, same God to open your heart, by the atoning Blood.

WHEN THEIR EYES WERE

E-14 014 He was a man when He died on the cross crying for mercy; He was a man. But when He broke the seals of death, hell, and the grave, rose up on the third day, He proved He was more than a man. He was God in a man.

No wonder every man that's ever amounted to anything believed that. All poets and everything that's ever amounted to anything believes that. That's right. He was more than a man; He was God. Now, God in His own Son built a body that He lived in, tabernacled, changed His strength.

Just think, Jehovah laying in a manger over a manure pile in a barn, crying like a little baby. Those little baby hands, little Jehovah, coming down and inveiled Himself in that form.

Look at the--the Jehovah out playing as a teenage boy. Look at Jehovah building in a carpenter shop, Jehovah hanging on the cross. Then when He rose up, He proved He was Jehovah. That's right. God in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself... He was more than a philosopher; He was more than a prophet. He was Emmanuel.

WHY IT HAD TO BE SHEPHERDS

221 113 As You said to Your great prophet Daniel, "And those that know their God in the last days, shall do exploits. And they that turn many to righteousness shall outshine the stars forever and forever."

Lord God, great Creator, Who was so willing to come to earth in the form of Jesus, to let man know what God was... And You were the only One Who could take the penalty of death; no Angel, no substitute could do it. You was the One Who placed the penalty, and You alone could justly take it away. And being Spirit, You could not die. But You were made flesh so You could die, and become a Lamb that You might take away the sin of Your Redeemed, that You had to redeem them by Your own Blood.

Oh, the story is so great, Lord, it goes over the head of so many. To think: "Little Jehovah laying in a manger; He had to live like a baby. Little Jehovah borned in a stable. Little Jehovah, playing with children on the street. Little Jehovah, the teenager. Little Jehovah, the schoolboy. And Jehovah, the mighty." You took all these places. And then, Jehovah, the Lamb, Jehovah, the Prophet. And You become all of this that You might suffer the penalty of sin and to give to us Eternal Life.
