Revealing a hidden truth

 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1Tim3:16

God was manifested (revealed) in the flesh and this manifestation came through the Lord Jesus, His son. God in the flesh is Jesus Christ. As the mana fell from heaven, literally came down from heaven in the wilderness journey for Israel, so too did the son of God come down from heaven.  Jesus said ‘I am that bread”.

So God was manifested in the flesh at the BIRTH of Christ,  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matt1:23

 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Luke 1:30-31

God was seen in the fire at the burning bush with Moses in Genesis chapter 3. Also God was seen in the smoke and fire in the tabernacle that Israel built in the wilderness journey.  It was in The Holy place which was in the middle of the tabernacle. But now, He is come in the flesh of a man through the Lord Jesus Christ.

 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John1:14

So God was manifested in the flesh at Christ’s birth, but also Christ’s baptism.  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.  John 1:29

 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. John 1:34

God was manifested in the flesh by His son Jesus Christ.  John the Baptist reveals this at Christ’s baptism and declares this to Israel and to the world. PTL!!

So not only was God’s manifestation is seen in Christ’s birth and baptism but also seen when Christ bear the cross, at His crucifixion.

 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.  Matt27:54

Jesus died on the cross. He was seen there on that hill as He was hung on the cross between heaven and earth.  He could have called ten thousand angels but He opened not His mouth.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. ¹¹ He came unto his own, and his own received him not. ¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:  John 1:10-12

God bless you today my friend, perhaps you will see the mystery or Hidden Truth!!
