In part 2 of this study, we learned that The Son of GOD, Who was with GOD from the beginning, He was never

subjected to death, because He, Who is Eternal Life was born of GOD, WHO is LIFE.

subjected to death, because He, Who is Eternal Life was born of GOD, WHO is LIFE.

Christ--The Son of GOD was not a partaker of darkness and death, because it is an intruder into The Kingdom of Light

and Life.

Christ--The Son of GOD was not a partaker of darkness and death, because it is an intruder into The Kingdom of Light

and Life. But because of man’s separation from his Source of Light and Life in GOD, man fell into darkness and death by sin. But because of man’s separation from his Source of Light and Life in GOD, man fell into darkness and death by sin.

And there appeared to be no hope for man to be restored to Light and Life with GOD, because darkness and death

cannot exist with Light and Life. And Light cannot dwell with darkness, without destroying darkness.

Christ, Who is divine with His Father, He also was born again by veiling His divinity in the nature of humanity, that He might

destroy the works of the adversary, and set men free by revealing to them The Truth of The Father, WHO reveals The Truth of

HIS Word, Whom HE has sent.

But because many could not digest The Truth of His Own Witness of Himself, Who is Invisible to men, the popular belief of

men have based their views on a doctrine that denies His atonement with humanity in the fullness of time, to place Him, as

a Man in the form of flesh, from the days of eternity.

John testified that He was in the world, which He created. He came to His Own, but they received Him not, because they

did not know Him. But in the fullness of time, He became one with man, firstly as a man, and secondly, He partook and tasted death for every man. He did not remained in death.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:1-5).

“Jesus might have remained at the Father's side. He might have retained the glory of heaven, and the homage of the angels. But He chose to give back the scepter into the Father's hands, and to step down from the throne of the universe, that He might bring light to the benighted, and life to the perishing. Nearly two thousand years ago, a voice of mysterious import was heard in heaven, from the throne of God, "Lo, I come." "Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me. . . . Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of Me,) to do Thy will, O God." Heb. 10:5-7. In these words is announced the fulfillment of the purpose that had been hidden from eternal ages. Christ was about to visit our world, and to become incarnate. He says, "A body hast Thou prepared Me." Had He appeared with the glory that was His with the Father before the world was, we could not have endured the light of His presence. That we might behold it and not be destroyed, the manifestation of His glory was shrouded. His divinity was veiled with humanity,--the invisible glory in the visible human form.” (The Desire of Ages 22, 23)

“…as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual” (1 Corinthians 2:9-13).

It was after Jesus was baptized with water with all the people, that it came to pass that, as He was praying, the heaven was open unto Him. And The Holy Spirit, Who speaks GOD’S Word, He descended upon

Him and remained upon Him. The Same Voice, Who spoke to the prophets of old, and also became Flesh and Blood, The Father said by

HIS Word, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Although John was six months older than Jesus, he testified that He, Who would come after him, He was preferred, or He came into

existence before him. And John testified to this Truth that Jesus was before him.
