Man’s history on earth is very sad. It is filled with departure from God, and, as a result, sin and death have come in. War among nations has been common from the beginning of time. Wherever we look today, we see sickness, poverty and rebellion against authority. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:2323For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)) because “there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not” (Ecclesiastes 7:2020For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. (Ecclesiastes 7:20)). Someone once said, “If it were not for the fact that God came into this world as a man in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ and lived a life of sinless perfection for the glory of God, I would be ashamed to be a man.”
Who was this Man? What does the Bible have to say about Him? What did His contemporaries think of what He did and said? Many are the references in Scripture as to Him, but let us always remember that this was God manifest in flesh (1 Timothy 3:1616And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1 Timothy 3:16)) and not just another man.
