Seeing The Salvation Of God
Here's my sermon yesterday on the presentation of Jesus, called "Seeing The Salvation Of God." If you like, you can also watch on my YouTube channel.
EXCERPT: Jesus was a man. Yes, he was fully God, but also fully man.
The Bible says He became like us in all things, so He could be our faithful High Priest. He can sympathize with us because He became a part of God’s people in every way. He didn’t just seem to be a Jewish man, He really became one, and He lived like one.
He was the Lawgiver, yet He humbly submitted to every Jewish regulation. He was circumcised like every other boy. Circumcision is a sign that our old life has been cut away. Jesus had no need of that, but He submitted to it all the same. Eight days after birth, His Blood was shed for the first time, so that He might be fully accepted as a Jew. He received in His body the mark all Jewish man carry.
He was bought back from God with silver, just like every other firstborn boy. When Jesus left the splendor of Heaven, He had already surrendered His Will into the Father’s hands. He needed no ceremony to confirm God’s claim on His life. But He submitted to it all the same. Like all the children of Israel, He was willing to say that He was God’s property.
He became a servant of the Lord, treated more poorly than the work animals that were a prophetic picture of Him. Like them, He carried the burdens of the people.
His parents were too poor to bring a lamb for Mary’s purification, but He would be the Lamb of God, taking away the sins of the world.
He was the Owner of everything – yet He identified with the poor by coming to live in the home of a tradesman, instead of a mansion of marble.
The Apostle Paul said, “…you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich” (2 Cor. 8:9).
As the Lord of Heaven, He might have made Himself exempt from all these things. But Jesus chose to become one of us… in all things. He fully identified with us and experienced our pains and struggles.
