And upon this rock ( foundation) I will build my church. Upon that revelation, you will never see the truth of God’s word without knowing the true revelation, that Jesus is the Son of God and Not God himself. That is the foundation that the church was founded upon, that solid rock.
Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past (old testament) unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days (NT.) spoken unto us by his Son, ( in other words no more prophet speaking God’s word. John the Baptist was the last of that type of prophet) �?whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;�?( That was the creation in chapter 2 that was made by the Son of God.)
3 Who being the brightness of his glory,( this is when he made the worlds back yonder when he was in the heavenly creation with God, he was In the image and glory of God. He left that image and glory of God and came to this earth in the image of sinful man.
So if he left image of God and came to earth as the image of sinful man then sinful man is definitely is not in the image and glory of God. People are always saying that we are in image and glory of God now. We are not in the image and glory of God, we are in a mortal corruptible body, and God is not in a mortal corruptible body. The Son of God was not in a mortal corruptible body before he came to this earth through the birth of Mary, he was in the image and glory of God. He went back to that Image after the resurrection.)
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins,
( that was when he died on the cross and went into hell, paid the price for second death) sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. ( That is just what we have read, that God gave him a name above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow.)
5. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6. And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, ( that is talking about when he was resurrected. That is when he begot him from the dead.) he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. ( see they were not told to worship Jesus and his earthly state. They were told to worship him after the resurrection.
When he had fulfilled his entire life in complete obedience to God. If he had failed as Satan did, and Adam failed he would not have been resurrected as our savior, and everything would have been lost.
He could have, he could have failed but he did not fail because he trusted in God and he looked to God to keep him from failing. You can find that in the book of Psalms.)
7. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. ( There he called his Son God.) In Hebrews chapter 2 it said-
4. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5. For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: ( Now a lots of people say this Is talking about mankind but it is not, it is talking about Jesus.)
8. Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. ( Now if you will read 1st Corinthians chapter 15 you’ll see that God the Father put everything in subjection under Jesus�?feet.) For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. ( Now see he said right there that he was made a little lower than the angels.)
vs.-16. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, ( see Jesus Christ was tempted, God cannot be tempted.) he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Now can you see that Jesus Christ was made just like us in every point. And it said for in another place that he was made perfect by his suffering.
I hope you see that Jesus Christ was put here to suffer just like us. He would make perfect, he was perfected in the things that he suffered.
The living God never had to go through such things, the living God never left Heaven to go through such things his son Jesus did. All through the scriptures he is called the son of God and he constantly talked about his father.
He came to this earth a little lower than the angels, he didn’t even come as an Angel. He took upon him a state below the Angels. Peter said that the Angels are greater in power and might than we are. We’re not liked the angels, and Jesus did not come hear like an angel, he came here as a man.
In all points as his brethren, he did not come here and walk around on this earth as God. He came here as a mortal being just like you and me.
He was begotten by the Holy Ghost in the womb of Mary but he came here as a full flesh and blood man. He had to pray constantly for God to take him through what he was tempted with and he suffered as no other man has suffered because he knew that the salvation of the entire creation rested upon his shoulder.
If he had failed as Satan failed, if he had failed as Adam failed, the entire creation of God would have been lost. But he never failed, he never did sin, he obeyed God in every thing.
When he came out of that grave in his glorified state then God lifted him up to the level as God himself. Then God gave him all power in Heaven and Earth as God himself had. He said the Angels of God and all of us to worship him. Jesus is our God, but he is not God the Father. He is God’s holy Son.
Hebrews 4
14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
