Our Story tonight is simply about

LOVE… How Two agreed to show

the Greatest Love ever known







We discussed how that, because of the

Everlasting Sacrifice, The Father and

Jesus are no longer of the same nature



e a r u es o e na ure o e yare Omnipotence, Omniscience and

Omnipresence.



These Divine Powers Christ poured

out of Himself when He came to

earth as a human being.

O t ll J th



One way we can tell Jesus gave up these

Powers forever, is that bearing humanity,

He cannot be Omnipresent anymore



Yes, Christ made an Infinite Sacrifice for

our Salvation, this was called forth by the

Covenant He and the Father made…



Their Covenant of Sacrifice understood that only

by the giving of a Life greater than the Law could

man be Redeemed from transgression of the Law

I h O f Th h d



It meant that One of Them had to

give up His Life for the Plan of

Salvation

B t h d t d th t



But how can we understand that

either the Father or the Son could

d ie ?

Y Ch i t t h



You see, Christ was not human

when He entered into Covenant with

the Father in times eternal past.

Wh J b h



When Jesus became a human at

His Incarnation, His existence in

“the form of God” ceased to existforever…

Th lt f t i f th L f G d



The penalty for transgression of the Law of God

was Eternal Death, “a death that will last forever,

from which there will be no hope of a

resurrection”… This is what we owed and whatJesus had to pay…





Let us reflect back for a moment on

the Covenant…

Y I th E l ti C t



Yes, In the Everlasting Covenant,Heaven Promised to send us

JESUS! “The Desire of All Nations”and all ages

J Hi Di i Lif ith ll f Hi



Jesus gave up His Divine Life, with all of His

Divine Powers: (Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence)

to save us, that we might receive His Own“Everlasting Life” ( John 3:16)





Let’s look a little closer at what

is Promised us in the Covenant!

Y i th C t P i d J



Yes, in the Covenant we are Promised Jesus as

our Saviour, but the scripture also says that we

are Promised the Spirit as well!

“B h ld I d th P i f M F th



“Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you:

but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be

endued w ith power from on high .” Luke 24:49

u wa oug e rom se o



u , wa oug e rom se othe Father, the Everlasting

Covenant, was to send us JESUS!?



How can this be?



How can this be?

Di t d E ti d S t d



Divested, means Emptied or Separated…

Christ emptied Himself when He became

Man.

Th P Ch i t E ti d Hi Di i



The Powers Christ Emptied, His Divine

Powers, are sent us as the Holy Spirit

and He is Jesus’ personal Presence!
