O: “Some people believe their children are perfect.
But Mary and Joseph knew their child was perfect.”
Jesus Christ was God Incarnate
Jesus Christ became man without ceasing to be God.
100% God and 100% Man (the God-man)
John 1:1
John
The Child Jesus Grew
Jesus grew up and went through all of the stages of life.
Jesus grew physically
Jesus grew mentally (wisdom - insight, knowledge, good judgment)
Jesus grew spiritually
“The intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth of the Child, like the physical, was real.
His was a perfect humanity developing perfectly, unimpeded by hereditary or acquired defects.
It was the first instance of such a growth in history.
For the first time a human infant was realizing the ideal of humanity” (Plummer)
Jesus was at the perfect stage of physical growth, mental growth, and spiritual growth for His age.
Jesus did not grow in divinity, sinlessness, righteousness, or faith
The Child Jesus was Sinless
Imagine a child who never once did wrong - ever.
Never a sinful thought or attitude (laziness, greed, envy, sinful anger, bitterness, arrogance, sinful independence)
Never a sinful word (no rebellious words, no perverse language, no lies, no guile, no wounding words)
Never a sinful action (kept the full law)
The Child Jesus was Righteous
Imagine a man who only did that which was right.
Hard to imagine?
Now consider a child who only did that which was right.
Always right thoughts and attitudes
Always right words (edifying words, truthful words)
Always right actions (kindness, generosity, obedience,
How can I live this way?
You say, “I can’t live this way, and certainly my children can’t live this way.”
This perfectly developed, sinless, righteous life is available to us, because Christ lives in us.
Once far from God and dead in sin,
This perfectly developed, sinless, righteous life is available to us, because Christ lives in us.
No light my heart could see;
But in God’s Word the light I found,
C: “Whose life is “living out” in you?
You have access to all the riches in Christ Jesus, but are you living out of those riches?”
Now Christ liveth in me.
Christ liveth in me,
Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
That Christ liveth in me.
2
As rays of light from yonder sun,
The flow’rs of earth set free,
So life and light and love come forth
From Christ living in me.
3
As lives the flow’r within the seed,
As in the cone the tree,
So, praise the Christ of truth and grace,
His Spirit dwelleth in me.
4
With longing all my heart is filled,
That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
That Christ liveth in me.
