<TITLE>08. Par 286-294</TITLE>L-286   Notice, "He took on the Seed of Abraham." He become a Man. God, made flesh among us, to redeem us. In other words, God became sin, that we sinners might become partakers of Him. And when we partake of Him, we partake of His... We were time-space people, three score and ten. And God came down and become one of us, three score and ten, for His lotted time, that we might partake of His Eternal Life. And when we're born again, we're sons and daughters of God, and have Eternal Life, and shall never perish.
Oh, what a--what a--what a blessed Saviour! Oh, there's no way to write it. There's no way to explain it. It's just beyond explaining. No one can explain how great It is. "How great Thou art! How great Thou art!" is right.
Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto His brethren,... (Think of that.)... that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God,... (Listen at this.)... to make reconciliations... the sin of the people.
To reconcile, now, God, knowing justice, had to become unjustice, to feel what it was to be a sinner, to go back to reconcile, through "reconciliation," and have mercy on the people.

L-287   Next verse, listen at It here.
For in that he himself had suffered...

L-288 God could not suffer in Spirit. He had to become flesh, to feel the pain of sickness, to feel the temptation of lust, to feel the temptation of want, to feel the temptation of hunger, to feel the power of death. That He might take it upon Hisself to stand in the Presence of the great Spirit Jehovah, the Spirit, not the Man; the Spirit, to make intercession to this life. And Jesus took that, in order to make intercession for us, for He knows how it feels. When you get sick, He knows how you feel. When you're tempted, He knows how you feel.

L-289   Now, did you ever notice when we vote for a president, every farmer will vote for a president that's been a farmer, for he knows the hard part of the farmer's life. See? He wants some man who understand.

L-290 And before God could ever understand; Him being that great Holiness. How He could ever understand, after He condemned man? By His holiness, He condemned man. And the only way He will ever know how to justify man is to become man.

L-291 And God overshadowed the virgin and she brought forth a body, not Jewish blood, not Gentile blood, but His Own Blood. God's created Blood, no sex at all in, it at all, no sexual desire. And this Blood Cell, created in the womb of this woman, brought forth the Son. And when He was baptized by John the Baptist, John said, "I bear record, seeing the Spirit of God (like a dove) coming down and abiding upon Him."

L-292   No wonder Jesus could say, that, "All powers in Heaven and earth is given into My hand." God and man became One. Heavens and earth embraced each other, and He was the One who can give reconciliation for our sin. That's the reason that, in His Name, healing takes place. He knows your pain.

L-293 You ever hear this little, old song?
Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal;
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
That's right. He knows.
When our body is racked with pain, and our health we can't regain,
Just remember God in Heaven answers prayer;
Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal;
Just take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

L-294 That's all He asks, "Just leave it there." Why? He's our High Priest standing here, that knows how you feel. And He knows how to reconcile you back to grace, and how to bring you back to your health. He knows all about it; He suffered. When you haven't got a place to lay your head; He had the same. When you got one change of clothes; He had the same. When you are made fun of, persecuted; He had the same.
