869 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 2 Part 1 Book 73 - Incarnate Christ (God Becomes Man) - 1

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 1 * BOOK 73 INCARNATE CHRIST: GOD BECOMES MAN - 1 Genesis 3:15 and Galatians 4:4 Okay, it’s good to see everybody in the studio this afternoon. We trust that the Lord will bless you richly. Again, we want to welcome our television audience in to study with us. I always like to make it plain for new listeners that we’re just an informal Bible class, and we don’t have a church service. We don’t have music. We just simply teach the Book. And again I have to thank all of you out there, as well as all of you in the studio, for all your letters and prayers. This last month was a big month. Most of you across the country know we’ve had some health problems. But along with that, it was my 80th birthday and our 54th wedding anniversary, so we’ve been covered up with cards and letters in all three categories. We just thank you from the depths of our heart. We do. We read every one of them. Takes a good portion of the day sometimes, but that’s the way we operate. We don’t slough anybody’s card or letters aside as unimportant. And the same way with so many of you, you complain that you can only give $5.00 or $10.00 dollars, well, sometimes I just write a quick note back – never forget that with God small things become mighty. Don’t ever apologize for not being able to give more. Okay, now I only have one or two announcements. Again, we like to keep our people aware of the one and only book we’ve ever put out. It’s the Question and Answer Book of 88 questions for a small cost of $11. And if you are not in our computer and getting our quarterly newsletter, just call the office and give us your name and address. You will not receive junk mail. You will not receive appeals for money. It’s simply a quarterly update on our stations and our seminars, and the girls in the office usually put in a note. Laura usually puts in a note. That’s all our newsletter really is. It is just to keep you up-to-date with what we’re doing. Okay, I think that’s all the announcements. We’re going to look at something a little different today. At the last taping you’ll remember, the last four programs were on the Theophanies in the Old Testament – how God the Son stepped out of the Triune Godhead and appeared temporarily in various times and places up through the Old Testament and then went back into the invisible Godhead. Now we know that beginning with Christ’s earthly ministry, of course, He became the incarnate. I had Sharon put it on the board—incarnate. Again, it’s not a word you’ll find in your Bible. It’s a word that has been coined by the theologians down through church history. It simply means God became man. We refer to Christ, then, as the God-Man. You know, that’s one problem that so many people have. They can’t understand how He can be God and Man. But He was, because He was God. And I always make the point that He never let the two supersede each other. In other words, when He spoke from humanity, or if He got in a tight place like at the temptations and He was hungry, He never let His Deity override His humanity. Always remember that. When He spoke from humanity, He was totally human. He prayed. He suffered. And we’ll be seeing all that. But on the other hand, when He acted as God, He was totally God. And He knew everything from beginning to the end and all in between as God. And we’ll be looking at that throughout the afternoon. We’re going to look at the incarnate Christ. But before we look at Him in the New Testament, we’re going to start back in Genesis chapter 3 and see how that this old Book is not just a bunch of myths and stories like a lot of people are trying to tell us, now, but it is the inspired, supernatural Word of God. And I never get tired of emphasizing that. So, if you’ll go back with me to Genesis chapter 3. Adam and Eve have just eaten of the forbidden tree. Sin has entered. Death came by sin Romans tells us, and along with that the curse fell. Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden. But at the very same moment that all that took place, God did something tremendous. He promised a “scarlet thread of redemption” all the way from Genesis 3 to the last book of our Bible. So, if you’ll go with me a minute to Genesis chapter 3, we’re going to see the first prophetic statement concerning the incarnate Son of God. How He had to become flesh in order to bring about mankind’s salvation. All right, Genesis chapter 3 verse 15, and God is speaking to the serpent. Genesis 3:15a “And I will put enmity (In other words, a constant line of demarcation between these two forces that are going to be at enmity from here until the end of time.) between thee and the woman,…” #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
