The Humanity of Christ

This unique truth the whole Bible unveils:

Our God has put on humanity;

Both God and man

as the Scripture reveals;

Hallelujah unto eternity.

Praise the Lord for Christ’s humanity!

It’s central to God’s economy

To produce a divine-human incorporation

Which consummates the New Jerusalem.

Old Testament portrays Christ as a Man

With four types showing His humanity:

Seed of the woman

seed of Abraham

The seed of David

branch of Jesse.

Christ as a Man in His humanity

Visited Abraham

with Jacob fought

Met Joshua as Captain of God’s army

Foretold of Samson

Israel’s comfort.

As Man of sorrows He lived

and was slain

Suffered

despised

our redemption to win.

According to righteousness He will reign

There’ll be enjoyment and protection.

Above the firmament

Christ is enthroned

Satan’s dominion is far

far below.

Each measurement of God’s building He knows

In midst of Israel

His possession.

Christ as a Man walked with Daniel’s three friends

In fiery trial appearing with them;

Met Daniel’s need as a Man once again;

He’s everything in God’s move as a Man.

Though they dispersed

Christ was with Israel

Measured Jerus’lem to gain her in full;

As Shoot of David

God’s temple He’ll build

He’ll be a Priest and o’er all nations rule.

As Son of Man

He’s with Israel involved

With us as well: we His oneness enjoy;

He’s stock of Israel exalted by God

He’ll gain the Kingdom

enemies destroy.

Christ as revealed in the New Testament

Came in the flesh; Son of Man now is He!

Fulfillment of God’s economy

All carried out in Christ’s humanity.
