He came that we might be as He, He was never as us

 

Joh 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Jesus is God. Yes I know that He had a different perspective for He was not of us, never was never will be, but through Him we can be of Him.
He came that we might be as He, He was never as us.

Yes He was in human form, yes He ate and drank as we, yes He came and walked as we walk but never as us. He is/was/and shall ever be God.

How we have messed up this concept. That ad campaign that says He gets us, well that ad campaign does not “get” Him. He was here to lift us up, to show us God’s love and to let us know that this world, the one we stand on today, He overcame this world, He defeated death and Hell.
He was never as us, He never got us, He was here to help us understand Him.
That is a concept and a thought that so many have failed to see and I understand and why? Because they want to excuse their behaviors by making Him like them.

He was never like us. Born of a virgin, never will that be any of us. Perfect, sinless, never will that be any of us.

He came not to be on our level, even though we preach that up, no He came that we might be better than us. That we might be like Him and what have we done with that?

We have tried so hard to bring Him to our level rather than striving to rise to His level.

We tend to see things through the lens of this world, our experience and just like the disciples we can not understand.
It is because we do not understand that we fail to try.

Remember when He was resurrected, the disciples spent 40 days with Him, do you realize we have no idea what they said, what He said, other than a few words of that time here on earth?

Why? Because it was in that time, that their understanding of Him and who He is became so much sharper. Then they received the Spirit and that was what made lions out of lambs.

That same Spirit, that changed them when they finally knew who He was, and yes I meant that the way that it sounded. When they finally figured out Who He was, then the Spirit gave them courage and wisdom, strength and resolve.
Why have we so misunderstood this Christian life? Why have we toiled in mediocrity?
Because we do not understand fully who He is.
