Jesus The GOD MAN! - By Pastor J. C. O’Hair




The Divine truth recorded in Philippians 2:5 to 9 has been called “the greatest story of the ages.”

1. Christ was in the form of God.

2. Christ thought it not a thing to be grasped after to be equal with God.

3. Christ made Himself of no reputation and became a servant.

4. Christ became a Man to be obedient unto the death of the cross.

5. God hath highly exalted Christ and given Him a name which is above every name that men might acknowledge His Deity and worship and honor Him.

In Colossians 1:17 and 16 we read that Christ is before all things and by Him all things consist and that all things in heaven and on earth were created by Christ and for Christ.

In Hebrews 1:3 we read that Christ is the express image of God’s Person and the effulgence of God’s glory.

In Romans 8:3 we read that Christ was made in the likeness of sinful flesh.

In Colossians 2:9 we read that in Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

In John 17:5 and 25 we read that Christ had glory with the Father and was loved by the Father before the foundation of the world. 

In John 1:18 we read that Christ was in the bosom of the Father.

In I John 1:2 the apostle John testifies concerning Christ “that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested unto us.”

In John 6:38 - John 6:33 - John 6:50 and 51 and 58 the Lord Jesus Christ, in no uncertain language, said that He came down from heaven.

In John 1:10 we read that Christ was in the world; that the world was made by Christ; and that the world knew not Christ.

In John 1:1 to 4 we read that Christ was God (the Word), and that all things were made by Him; and that without Him nothing was made.

In John 1:14 we read that the Word became flesh and tabernacled among men. In Hebrews 1:8 Go calls His Son, “God.”

In John 10:31 to 34 Christ said, “I and Father are one.” Christ’s own nation stoned Him; “because being a Man thou makest Thyself God.”

In John 20:28 Thomas saw the resurrected Christ and said, “My Lord and my God.”

In Revelation 1:8 we read the Lord’s own testimony: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

In Romans 10:9 and 10 we read the condition of salvation; acknowledging the eternal Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ and believing in His bodily resurrection. Confessing that Jesus Christ was a very good man, even the best of men, and claiming to believe that He experienced some kind of a spiritual resurrection, but that He is not now in a glorified body which was raised from the dead, is wholly inadequate and brings no salvation. Christ said, “if ye believe not that ‘I AM’, ye shall die in your sins”. (John 8:24); “He that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father.”

(John 14:9). Several times the Scriptures call Christ, “God”. Read Isaiah 9:6 and Romans 9:4 to 6 in addition to the other Scriptures we have mentioned. Christ calls Himself the “I AM” more than 20 times in John’s Gospel, in which Gospel He speaks of Himself 684 times in the first person pronoun. Thomas was right, “My Lord and my God.” It is most interesting to read Job 9:32 and 33 - as we consider Christ as the “GodMan.” Job said God is not a man, that I should answer Him, that we should come together in judgment - “Neither is there any DAYSMAN betwixt us, who might lay His hand upon both of us.” A daysman is one appointed to arbitrate in arguments, to settle disputes. Job wanted a Divine human Person. “When the fulness of time was come God sent forth His Son, made of a woman to be the Redeemer. (Galatians 4:4). On the cross Christ was indeed the DAYSMAN when He was made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. (II Corinthians 5:21).



 How God Saves Men

Believing Christ DIED, that’s HISTORY.

Believing Christ DIED for YOU SINS and Rose again that’s SALVATION.

Read Romans 1:16, Romans 10:9-10 and 1. Corinthians 15:1-4
