Yet To Be #97 & 98

All scripture is given by inspiration of God

Day 8 & 9 The Weekend

Jesus For Everyone, the Son of Man

The book of Luke in the new testament is the third gospel and also begins differently. Written by Luke who was a physician and possibly a Gentile, around AD 60 to 61 and some say possibly as far as AD70. Luke was not one of the original twelve disciples but was a follower of Jesus Christ.


This book as well as the book of Acts both begin with a preface addressed to Theophilus ( in Greek means friend of God). It is a record of the life and ministry of Jesus. Luke gives a detailed account of the genealogy of Jesus, unlike Matthew who gave a lineage through Joseph his earthly father, but through the virgin Mary the mother of Jesus emphasizing the important fact that he was born of a woman and was made flesh. A human body was prepared for him (Hebrews 10 verse 5), he was man, sin apart.


It was in that same body wherein he died, was in the tomb, and God well pleased with him raised him in that same body from the grave and seated him at His right hand in heaven. We can therefore say he has taken manhood into the Glory.


Luke being a gentile presents the gospel for everyone. Matthew presents Jesus as the Messiah for the Jewish race and Mark presents him as a servant, Jesus came to seek and save anyone regardless of occupation or social status. He is the savior for everyone.


(reference: 2 Timothy 3 verse 16, 2 Peter 1 verse 21, and Luke 19 verse 10)

He is touched by the feelings of our infirmitie

Day 7 Who Can Declare God but God…

There are the other two gospels, Mark and Luke not mentioned in the last post but still hold great importance declaring his character in a name.


The gospel of Mark was written between the mid-50s to 60s AD by John Mark. The same John Mark in the book of Acts deserted Paul and Barnabas but came back to work with Barnabas on mission work. Peter later called him his “son”.


Mark presents Jesus as the Servant, a person who performs duties for others. In this book, the Son of God is a lowly man walking this pathway on earth in perfect obedience to the Father. Verse one introduces the entire book by stating this is the good news of Jesus Christ, the gospel, the Son of God. Here too the author calls him Jesus, his earthly name in conjunction with the title Christ, the Messiah, the promised King, the anointed one, and then solidifies the truth that by calling Jesus as the Son of God, his divine person.


The book jumps right into his acts by omitting his birth and leaping straight to his baptism and ministry. He is the Servant of God, doing the work the Father sent him here to do meanwhile, he is also the lowly man performing deeds for his people. He brought himself down, making “himself of no reputation and took upon himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of man” to understand us, to feel and be a part of us.


He is touched by the feelings of our infirmities (our weakness)but in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin, meaning he is God and therefore holy. And though, he is the Son of God, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.
(reference: Mark 1 verse 1, Hebrews 4 verse 15, Philippians 2 verse 7, and Hebrews 5 verse 8)

Jesus said he that hath seen me hath seen the Father

Day 6 of May

“Who Can Declare God but God.”

Darlington Feddoes

The I AM is introduced in the old testament of the Bible in the book of Genesis and He is worshiped as the true and living God.


In His great love, God sent His only son to die for the world. In the new testament of the Bible, Jesus is the son of God. He is the son of His love, who is in the bosom of the Father. In the four Gospels of the new testament, Jesus is presented differently in each book.
The word gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon term god-spell meaning good story or good news. There are four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Each of these books gives an account of the life of Jesus from different viewpoints, not opposing but different.


Matthew presents Jesus as the Messiah.
Mark presents Jesus as the Servant.
Luke presents Jesus as the Son of Man.
John presents Jesus as the Son of God.


Each representation of Jesus is not an opposing view but shows the characteristics of the Lord.
Matthew and John both start with some form of genealogy, Matthew shows his earthly Jewish lineage establishing him as the Messiah or the anointed one. The first verse immediately establishes him as the son of David (the King) and the son of Abraham (the father of nations), Jesus Christ. Earthly name Jesus and his title as the Christ or the anointed one. Christ comes from the Greek word Christos used in the Greek Septuagint to translate the Hebrew Masiah or Messiah, meaning the anointed one.
The book of John declares his deity as the Word is in the beginning, before time began the Word was with God and the Word was God. He is coexistent and coeternal, coequal with God and He is God. He declared God while here on earth.

John 14 verse 9 and 10
“Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
