5. How did Paul express the wonder that God should come to our world in human flesh? 1 Timothy 3:16.
NOTE: ‘In assuming humanity, Christ took the part of every human being. He was the Head of humanity. A Being divine and human, with His long human arm He could encircle humanity, while with His divine arm He could lay hold of the throne of the Infinite. What a sight was this for Heaven to look upon! Christ, who knew not the least taint of sin or defilement, took our nature in its deteriorated condition. This was humiliation [a humbling] greater than finite man can comprehend. God was manifest in the flesh.’ Selected Messages, volume 1, page 253.
6. After Jesus had been in ministry for a period of time, what question did He ask His disciples? Matthew 16:13.
NOTE: ‘He asked, “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Sadly, the disciples were forced to acknowledge that Israel had failed to recognise their Messiah. Some indeed, when they saw His miracles, had declared Him to be the Son of David. The multitudes that had been fed at Bethsaida had desired to proclaim Him king of Israel. Many were ready to accept Him as a prophet; but they did not believe Him to be the Messiah.’ Desire of Ages, page 411.
