- God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration: The Purpose of the God Creator’s Incarnation: SO THAT FALLEN HUMANITY MIGHT BE RAISED FROM ITS DEGRADATION OF SIN
MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:

God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration
The Purpose of the God Creator’s Incarnation: SO THAT FALLEN HUMANITY MIGHT BE RAISED FROM ITS DEGRADATION OF SIN
“Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift.” 2 Cor. 9: 15, KJV.
Christ, “the Word from the beginning,” “thenonly-begotten Son the Father,” did not cease to be God, when, in the divine condescension, He partook of “the likeness of sinful flesh” and thus became “the Son of man,” the very “promised Seed of a woman, born under the law,” in fulfillment of the first promise and prophecy of the Bible. Rom. 8: 3, 4; Gal. 4:4; 3: 16; Gen. 3: 15, A. V. This is part of “the great mystery of godliness—God manifest in the flesh.” 1 Tim. 3: 16.
God’s end-time messenger wrote (all emphasis mine):
“Laying aside His royal robe and kingly crown, Christ clothed His divinity with humanity, THAT HUMAN BEINGS MIGHT BE RAISED FROM THEIR DEGRADATION, and placed on vantage ground. Christ could not have come to this earth with the GLORY that He had in the heavenly courts. SINFUL BEINGS COULD NOT HAVE BORNE THE SIGHT. He veiled His divinity with the GARB of humanity, BUT HE DID NOT PART WITH HIS DIVINITY.
“A divine-human Savior, He came to stand at the HEAD OF THE FALLEN RACE, to share in their experience FROM CHILDHOOD TO MANHOOD.
“That human beings might be PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, He came to thjs [fallen, sin-cursed] earth, and lived a life of perfect obedience.” – E. G. White, Review and Herald, June 15, 1905, p. 8.
Clearly then, in order that the Creator could become the Redeemer of man, who alone was “made in the image and after the likeness of God,” but became fallen sinners by disobedience to His eternal, immutable law of righteousness, He, the Lawgiver, partook of the likeness of the sinful flesh nature four thousand years after the fall in Eden. In this eternally- adopted human nature He, “Jesus of Nazareth,” perfected obedience to His law through sufferings of the fallen human nature, and thereby became the Savior-by-Example for all man, from childhood to manhood.
Let us all praise and thank God for “this unspeakable gift” this Thanksgiving!

- God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration: The Purpose of God Creator’s Incarnation – Part 3
MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:

God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration
The Purpose of God Creator’s Incarnation – Part 3
REVEALS ‘THE GREAT MYSTERY OF GODLINESS’ IN GOD’S AMAZING CONDESCENSION
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh.” 1 Tim. 3:16.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. . . . And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1: 1-3, 14.
From the inspired pen of God’s last-day messenger, Ellen G. White, we read (all emphases and bracketed words provided:
“It will be profitable to contemplate the divine condescension, the sacrifice, the self-denial, the humiliation, the resistance the Son of God encountered in doing His work for fallen man. Well may we come forth from contemplation of His great suffering exclaiming, Amazing Condescension!
“ANGELS marvel, as with intense interest they watch the Son of God DESCENDING step by step the path of humiliation. IT IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS. It is the GLORY OF GOD to conceal Himself and His ways, NOT BY KEEPING MEN IN IGNORANCE of heavenly light and knowledge, but by SURPASSING THE UTMOST CAPACITY OF MEN TO KNOW.
“Humanity can comprehend in part, but that is all that men can bear. The love of Christ passes knowledge. [see Eph. 3: 14-21]. THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION [preceded by the mystery of Creation] WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MYSTERY—the unexhausted science and everlasting song of eternity. Well may [fallen, and eternally-redeemed] humanity exclaim, ‘Who can know God?’ We may, as Elijah, wrap our mantles about us, and listen to “hear the still small voice’ [of the Holy Spirit] of God.” – Bible
Echo, Apr. 30, 1894, p. 133.
Ah! The everlasting science and song of eternity! All who would be eternally-saved in these closing hours of earth’s probation, would have found unbounded joy in delving into and continually-unfolding, ever-fresh revealed factual truths of the science of redemption while singing its heavenly melodies to cheer them as they meet, head-on, the rapidly-approaching final, most perilous, faith-testing “hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth” (Rev. 3:10).
Remind yourselves. “If God in Christ through the Holy Spirit be with and in us, Who can be against us?”
