Who is Jesus? Chapter 1 Jesus was in
the Beginning with God
You may wonder where was Jesus before
He became a baby born in the city of Bethlehem of a young Virgin girl
named Mary?
Understand that our Father God is a
spirit not seen with visible eyes, and from the beginning, Jesus also
was in spirit form.
Jesus was Spirit not flesh until the
Holy Spirit placed the seed containing Jesus into the womb of Mary.
At that precise moment Jesus because human flesh, however his blood
was divine and of his Father God. Scientist tell us the baby's blood
is not from the mother but from the father. This fact reveals that
the blood of Jesus was sinless, holy and pure and from His Father
God. This fact alone is the reason that the blood that Jesus shed on
the cross is able to wash away our sins and change us into a person
pleasing to God.
As we take a quick look at the gospel
of John chapter one we see; "In the beginning was the WORD and
the WORD was with God and the Word was God. As we continue reading
we discover that John was speaking of Jesus the WORD and also saying
Jesus was God and was working in tandem with the Father creating the
world.
We take a look at the first book in the
Bible; Genesis chapter 1, and we view that the Holy Spirit of God
hovered over the waters. Each time our Father God spoke WORDS; a
portion of our world was formed. Light was split from darkness,
Waters were divided from the sky; the sun, moon and stars came into
being, trees and vegetation came, and creatures of all types of
animals were created. Jesus was there in the beginning with His
Father God and John declares that by Him (Jesus) were all things
created.
On day six, God made man in His own
image and placed him in a beautiful garden. Soon God realized the
man would be lonely so putting him to sleep and taking from his side
a rib; God formed woman. They were happy and each evening they
walked and talked with God. They were given only a couple of rules.
Two trees were off limits, but everything else was good food. Do
not take of The Tree of the "Knowledge of good and evil,"
and the tree of LIFE, God told them. Satan came to tempt Eve telling
her she needed to be wise and know things and eating the fruit would
bring her knowledge; and Eve fell for it. So, the woman ate of the
forbidden fruit and gave some to Adam, causing them to be removed
from the garden and now mankind must toil and work for a living.
God slew a lamb as a sacrifice and made garments to cover Adam and
Eve's nakedness. This was the first blood sacrifice.
God gave them a promise that he would
send a redeemer and many Prophets in the Old Testament told how a
virgin would bring forth a savior, who would be born in Bethlehem.
Micah 5:2 "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small
among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be
ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient
times."
Isaiah the prophet in chapter 53
revealed how the Savior would suffer and die for the world, and that
by his stripes we would be healed.
So for this chapter, we view Jesus as a
Spirit with His Father God in heaven, waiting for the promise and
prophesies to come to pass. Let us think about this, and research
the Scriptures mentioned as we wait for the next chapter to learn
more about Jesus.
