Christ Coming in the Flesh

Introduction

The Greek word used for flesh is sarx where as the word soma is used for body.

Humanly speaking there seems to be no difference between the flesh and the body. But the only wise God has made the difference in the Scripture which we are about to study.

 

Evidences for the  Humanity of Christ

1. His human genealogy. “Who. . .was a descendant of David” Rom. 1:3.

2. His human appearance. “The Samaritan woman said, “You are a jew. . .”  Jn. 4:9.

3. His human personality.

He had a body. “My body. . .” Mt. 26:12. He had a soul. “My soul. . .” Mt. 26:38. He had a spirit. “He. . .spirit” Jn. 11:33.

4. His human fame. “His mother said to him, son. . .  Lk. 2:48.

5. His human needs. “Jesus was hungry” Mk. 11:12.

  6. His human limitations. “No-one knows about that day. . .even the son.”  Mk. 13:32

7. His human suffering. “He learned obedience from what he suffered.” Heb.5:8

Application

Suppose that you love ants. You go to the ant hill and notice that a farmer is about to plow it. You want to warn and save them. You shout, use sign language at them, But you are unable to communicate. If you become an ant, you can communicate and they will understand you. In the same way Jesus had put on our flesh to communicate all that God wants him to express to us!
