Christ -- in the Flesh

"Remember that Jesus died for our sake, not for His own. 

*He did not need to come to this earth and be tempted, to prove His own loyalty to the Father. 

*He came to declare the Father’s name unto His brethren. 

*He came to show that by the faithfulness of God all flesh can be saved. “In Him is no sin;” but He was made to be sin for us, in that He bore our sins. 2 Cor. 5:21. 

The flesh that He took was our flesh; 

the sins that He overcame were our sins; 

and He did really overcome them. 

*And He still bears our flesh,—an High Priest “touched with the feeling of our infirmities.” 

E.J. Waggoner
