God said, “I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” (Gen. 3:15).
Is it not amazing that God’s voice should be recorded so early in the Divine record, giving man the assurance that another and better Adam would come and that He would completely triumph over the seed of the serpent? Only God could include in one very comprehensive statement the entire history of the two Adams.
In Genesis we read of the creation and fall of the first Adam. Then comes the dismal record of the failure of his seed to perform God’s will. Through the long, dark records of the Old Testament we see a glimmering like a light-house emitting its beams at midnight on a storm-tossed coast. Men who had linked their helplessness to God’s righteousness and might, spoke under Divine influence, and foreshadowed the race of new men which was to come. All through the writings of these men there appear bright gleams, interspersed, revealing to us God’s plan to send another Adam Who should redeem His people and set up an everlasting Kingdom.
In the New Testament we read of this great event─the coming of this New Man and of those who, believing on Him, were enabled to penetrate the darkness in which superstition and traditions of a decadent religious society, had flourished like fungus. “These that have turned the world upside down have come hither also,” said the worried and harassed religious priests of that day. They made martyrs of those early new men who were shaking the foundations of the existing world order.
In Revelation, John, through a vision, shares with his readers the picture of the final overthrow of the serpent and his seed, and he tries, through a humanly limited vocabulary, to show us the glories of the coming kingdom when the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Christ and King.
In our last lesson, we studied Scripture concerning the nature of the first Adam. We pass on to the more inspiring and heart-warming theme of the last Adam, the seed of the woman. Many might ask, “Why, if God knew all things, which He surely did, would He permit His new creation to blunder and sin?” “God saw,” said John Wesley, “that to permit the fall of the first man, was far the best for mankind in general; that abundantly more good than evil would accrue to the posterity of Adam by his fall, that if sin abounded thereby over all the earth, yet grace would much more abound. Yea, and that to every individual of the human race, unless it was his own choice. May the Lover of mankind open the eyes of our understanding to perceive clearly that by the fall of Adam, mankind in general have gained a capacity for being more holy and happy on earth and of being more happy in Heaven than otherwise could have been.”
Old Testament Prophecies
Let us notice some of the prophecies which shone out upon the darkness, foretelling this coming Adam. Thousands of years before Christ’s advent, Jacob had gathered his sons to him to tell them what should befall them in the last days. To Judah he predicted the coming Ruler, “The __________ shall not depart from Judah, nor a ____________ from between his feet, until _________ come; and ____________ shall the gathering of the people be” (Gen. 49:10).
Isaiah, prophesying with lips that had first been purged with a live coal from off the altar and with eyes that had been opened to see God’s holiness, foretold in exalted language, the coming seed of the woman.
“Behold, a ________ shall conceive, and ______________, and shall call his name ____________” meaning, “God with us” (Isa. 7:14). How wonderful to think that God came in the person of His Son to redeem a holy people unto Himself!
“For __________ a _______ is born, unto us a ______________: and the government shall be upon _______________: and his name shall be called ___________, ___________, ___________________, ________________________, _______________ _____________” (Isa. 9:6).
One of the minor prophets, Micah, not only told of Christ’s birth but named the town in which He was to be born and then spoke of His everlasting kingdom.
“But thou, ____________________, though thou be ________ among the thousands of ________, yet out of ______ shall he come forth unto ____ that is ________________ __________; whose goings forth have ____________________, from ______________” (Mic. 5:2).
THE BRANCH ─The Planting of the Lord
Seven times in the Old Testament the prophets refer to Christ as “the Branch.” In Hebrew this word “branch” meant a “bud” or “sprout.” It was as a bud─coming as an infant, born of a woman, yet conceived of the Holy Ghost─that our last Adam started life as a “sprout springing from the earth.” He was Son of God, yet Son of man. He was to be the first born of a new race─the Head of a new family tree whose root was righteous. Notice in these Scriptures we are about to study how the word “righteous” is connected with the word “Branch.”
“If the _____________ be _______, so are the ___________” (Rom. 11:16).
“In that day shall the ______________________ be ___________ and __________, and the fruit of the ________ shall be ____________ and comely” (Isa. 4:2).
“And there shall come forth a ______ out of the _______ of Jesse and a _______ shall __________________________. And the spirit of the Lord shall ______ upon him, the spirit of _________ and ________________, the spirit of _________ and _______, the spirit of _____________ and of the ____________________ . . . . and righteousness shall be the _________ of his loins” (Isa. 11:1, 2, 5).
“He shall grow up before him as a _______________, and as a _________________ ______________” (Isa. 53:2).
Jeremiah, speaking as God’s mouthpiece to a backsliding people, paints a word-picture of men under the first Adam (Jer. 2:21), and then he proceeds in the following verses we give below to portray a Branch of Righteousness.
“Yet I had __________ thee a _____________, wholly a ______________; how then art thou _________ into ________________________ of a strange _____________ me?” (Jer. 2:21).
“Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will ________ unto David a ____________________, and a _______ shall ________ and prosper, and shall execute ___________ and __________ in the earth. . . . this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD _____________________” (Jer. 23:5-6).
“In those days, at that time, will I ________ the _________ of ________________ to grow up unto David; and he shall __________ judgment and ________________ in the land. . . . and this is the name wherewith ____ shall be called, ________________ ________________” (Jer. 33:15-16).
Ezekiel speaks of the coming Branch also, which you can read in Ezekiel 17:22. The remaining two other references are from a minor prophet, Zechariah.
“Behold, I will _______________ my servant, the _________” (Zech. 3:8).
“Behold the ______ whose name is ______________; and he shall ___________ out of this place, and he shall ________ the __________ of the Lord” (Zech. 6:12).
THE ROYAL EVENT ─ Prophecy Fulfilled
“For unto you is born . . . a Savior, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11).
Before the foundation of the earth was laid, this royal birth was planned. Four thousand years had elapsed since God Himself had announced the coming of “the seed of the woman.” God is never beforehand and never too late.
“When the ________________________ was come, God ______________ his Son, _______ of a ________, made under the law . . . that we might __________ the ____________________. And because ye are _______, God ____________________ the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, __________” (Gal. 4:4-6).
Now a Prince was to be born─the Son of God─and He would become the Head of a holy, righteous seed. He would be called “the first-born among many brethren.”
The purposes of the Eternal God unfold silently and slowly. Man must create a stir and noise while he drives impatiently to his goal. When man intends to bring about a change in world order, he casts about for some competent leader, musters battalions and accumulates weapons of war. God begins with a mother and a helpless babe. The inspired writers relate at length the circumstances surrounding the coming of special babies during the long Old Testament history.
Isaac, the long anticipated and promised child of barren Sarah and aged Abraham, is given prominence in the Genesis story as it chronicles the rise of the Hebrew nation. When Israel languished under oppressors, God initiated His plan for deliverance with a childless couple. Angels gave explicit directives as to how to rear this special Nazarite Samson who was destined to defeat the Philistines. When the sons of Eli, the priest, had degraded that sacred office and Israel was invaded by the Philistines, God again commenced His program for purifying the priesthood and raising up a deliverer for His people by prompting faith in the heart of an embittered, childless wife. Her vow, in which she dedicated the man-child to be born, to God’s service, was thought important enough to be recorded for us (1 Sam. 1:11). Samuel’s long term in office bridged over two important periods in Israel’s history─the ending of the Judges and the instituting of the Kings.
As time draws near for the greatest event of history, the New Testament opens with the story of a virgin. This narration of Christ’s birth bursts in upon the darkness, but only those with opened eyes see and only those with unstopped ears hear. A new race of men “born of incorruptible seed” is to have its origin in this tiny infant, as a whole forest might be contained in one acorn. The event transpires so quietly that only some aging saints, a few wise men and some shepherds recognize in that small bundle of life, the hope of the universe. There is no fanfare of trumpets in palatial dwelling to herald this epochal event. Thousands of priests and people hustle about their normal daily tasks unaware of the angelic choir or Bethlehem’s babe.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is giv’n!
So God imparts to human hearts,
The blessings of His heav’n.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
─Phillips Brooks.
Matthew and Luke open with a thrill of excitement. Never elsewhere in Scripture do we have an account of so much angelic activity, when messages were borne between Heaven and earth─all fulfilling prophecy. Let us notice the content of these messages which tell of the nature and mission of Christ.
Gabriel states reasons for John the Baptist’s coming when he speaks to Zacharias, the father. List two reasons as found in Luke 1:17:
1.__________________________________________________________________
2.__________________________________________________________________
Men say that Jesus was only human─just a good man. Which phrases in the following Scriptures prove that Jesus is divine?
Luke 1:35____________________________________________________________
Luke 2:10-14_________________________________________________________
Matt. 1:20-23_________________________________________________________
Luke l:31____________________________________________________________
We have seen how prophets, previous to the birth of Christ, spoke in the Old Testament. We have noticed the messages used by angels and conveyed to man by God in dreams, to describe Him. Now we will study what the apostles and saints said of Him after His birth and see how they too show the “only begotten” Son as the “first begotten” of a new race.
Only Begotten
If you were to describe a long-looked for child of a family as the only begotten child of your friends, you would be saying it was their one and only child. This title, “only begotten,” puts our Christ in a most exalted position─a birth unique in history. No one has ever shared such a relationship with God. Therefore Christ was privileged to be the only One Who could become the Alpha and Omega, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
The following phrases listed below are contained in five texts of Scripture: John 1:14; John 1:18; John 3:16; John 3:18 and 1 John 4:9. In the appropriate blank below, fill in the corresponding reference:
1. The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father __________
2. The only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth __________
3. His only begotten Son __________
4. The name of the only begotten Son of God __________
5. God sent His only begotten Son into the world __________
First Begotten
This very title “first begotten” suggests that there are more to follow. It also is used five times in the New Testament. Unlike “only begotten” in which Christ stands alone, this title puts Him as the Head of a family or the Founder of a new race. Again you will find this expressed in phrases contained in one of the five references here listed: Col.1:18; Col.1:15; Rom.8:29; Heb. 1:5-6; Rev. 1:5. Place the correct reference in each blank below.
1. He bringeth the firstborn into the world __________
2. The firstborn among many brethren __________
3. The firstborn of every creature __________
4. The firstborn from the dead __________
5. The first begotten of the dead __________
See 1 Cor. 15:20 and notice the word “firstfruits” which comes from the same Greek word as “firstborn.”
File Leader
There are four other Scriptures relating to Christ which attribute to Him the title of “Author,” “Prince,” and “Captain.” These three words are translations of one Greek word composed of two root words, meaning “beginning” and “leading.” The best Saxon rendering is “file-leader.”
“File-leader,” a military term, refers to one chosen as a leader of the ranks from which he has been taken. He was literally the pivot upon which every ordered change of direction turned in infantry drill. We get the picture of a captain giving the orders to be obeyed by the entire unit. Transformed by the new birth, we completely rely upon and eagerly and safely obey each command of our divine “File Leader.” In the four verses quoted below, fill in the missing words:
“And killed _______________________ whom God raised from the dead” (Acts 3:15).
“Him hath God exalted with his right hand to ______________________
___________” (Acts 5:31).
“For it became him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things in _____________________ unto glory to make the _____________________________
perfect through suffering” (Heb. 2:10).
Daniel Steele, commenting on this verse, says, “Here we see with the anointed vision of inspiration, Jesus Christ marching at the head of a long column, ‘many sons,’ leading them into the wide open portals of Heaven till they stand in the blaze of its innermost glory, a circle around the throne upon which He sits down.”
“Looking unto Jesus, ______________________________________; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame” (Heb. 12:2).
Head of the Body
Paul in his epistles speaks of a mystery which was given him to proclaim─the mystery of the “body of Christ.” The only way Paul could make this spiritual mystery clear to us is by using the picture of the human body. He likened Christ to the Head from Whom issues the “nerve” impulses to each member of the body. The obedient response of each member to the Head produces a harmony nowhere else to be found on earth.
This union of the body is closer even than that of the marriage relationship or of a father as head of a family. Where the first Adam scattered and divided, making each person a distinct and independent unit, Christ gathered and unified into a close-knit, inseparable and interdependent living organism working out the Eternal purposes of the Godhead. This is much different from the man-made idea of the ecumenical movement; this is a unity of the Spirit when we have been baptized by one spirit into one body. As this mystery will be enlarged upon later, we will just give one Scriptural text here to show how Paul viewed Christ in this glorious position as Head of the Body─the Church.
“For as ____________________, and hath _______________, and all the members of that one body, being many, are ____________: so also is _________. For _______________ are we all baptized into __________, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into ____________. For the body is not ______________, but _______” (1 Cor. 12:12-14).
The God-centered Life
When Christ came to this world He found it man-centered. The first Adam, as we saw in a former lesson, displaced God from His proper center and did not revere Him as Lord. Because Christ, being man as well as God─the seed of the woman─He was the only One Who could succeed where Adam had failed and reverse every selfish decision of the former Old Man. Christ came to reveal to man how the first Adam would have walked had he not sinned, and how he would have turned innocence into holiness by yielding a perfect obedience to the Father’s will.
We wish to state here that Christ’s example without His death could never have brought us to the status of sons and daughters. By His death, He finished our history in the first Adam. By His selfless walk, He set us an example as to how we should conduct ourselves as sons in the family of God; by His resurrection, He is at the Father’s right hand as Head of a new race, pouring His own life into every true believer so that they too may declare a new generation by transformed lives and selfless choices. By faith in His blood, we may represent Him in an alien, hostile world. “As he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). How wonderful it is that He should have left us such an example as related in four different Gospels!
“Christ also suffered for us, __________________________, that ye should follow ______________” (1 Pet. 2:21).
Let us observe the words of Jesus which reveal His utter abandonment to His Father’s interests.
“I receive not _______________ men. . . . How can ______________, which receive honour ___________________, and ________ not the honour that cometh from _____________?” (John 5:41, 44).
“He that _______________________ seeketh his own ________; but he that __________ his glory that sent him, the same ___________, and no _________________ is in him” (John 7:18).
“I _______ not mine own ________” (John 8:50).
“If I __________________, my honour is __________: it is my Father that _____________ me” (John 8:54).
1. Christ made God’s Word the final authority
Adam and Eve sinned in doubting the truth of God’s Word. Jesus came meeting the serpent’s same “if” with “It is written.” That was the constant rule of His conduct. But He went even further. He would not utter an opinion apart from His Father’s. He owed God’s Word as the final authority for all action and even as the topic of His conversation. See how fully He had come to deny Himself even the right to His own opinion. Contrast this with the world’s tendency in all discussions to say, “I think,” “It is my opinion,” “Take this for what it is worth.” Nowhere do we read this liberty or right taken by the last Adam. Let us note from Scripture how He did acknowledge the Father’s Word.
“My ___________ is not _______ but ______ that ___________” (John 7:16).
“I have not _____________________, but the _________ which _______ me, he gave me a commandment what _________________ and what ________________” (John 12:49).
“I ________ to the world those things which I have ________________” (John 8:26).
“The words that I speak unto you, I speak __________________: but the __________ that ____________ in me, he doeth the _________” (John 14:10).
Heresy was one of the works of the flesh mentioned in a former chapter. It is just this voicing of one’s own personal opinion upon the Bible which has produced heresy resulting in such confusion. Theologians, very intellectual but unilluminated by the Holy Spirit, have proclaimed their own theories. If we are to be brought back to the image of God, which was God’s original intent, then we must make His Word the rule and guide for our lives.
A. W. Tozer has suggested that if anyone wishes to see how far the church has departed from making the Bible the final authority he should just suggest in his next church business meeting, that they abide by what the Word of God has to say upon the subject under discussion. He would discover that even churchmen have discarded the Word, looking upon it as an ancient code of conduct not applicable for these “enlightened” days. We wonder how God feels as He views responsible believers, guiding their lives and the church in conformity to the world’s maxims and rationalizing about moral subjects upon which God has already passed judgment.
For generations ancient Israel had drifted from God until Josiah came to the throne of Judah. While cleansing the temple, previous to repairs, Hilkiah the priest discovered the mislaid Bible. As the scribe read to the king out of this Book, great fear overwhelmed this ruler as he saw how far he and his people had departed from God’s commandments. He set about immediately to bring the people of his kingdom in line with God’s Word. The fifteen or so reforms which he began are mentioned in 2 Kings 23. It is almost unbelievable that a people called by His Name should have imitated the world order about them and neglected the Book. List eight of these evils, which Josiah righted, on a separate sheet of paper and also write out the 25th verse which shows God’s love for the man who will honor God’s Word.
2. Christ was entirely dependent upon the Father
Blondon, the famous wire-walker, once astonished an audience by crossing over the chasm just below Niagara Falls on a wire with a twelve-year-old boy upon his shoulders. Delicately poised, these two successfully made that perilous journey from one shore to the other.
In planning this exploit, Blondin told the lad that there must be but one will─the will of Blondin. The boy was trained to sway with Blondin, and completely to trust himself to the judgment and orders of his superior. Even when the wire vibrated, they safely made the crossing by it, working as one in perfect harmony. What a tragedy had it been if the lad had sought to make an impression by acting independently. But this is just what Adam and Eve did. They chose to act apart from their Creator Who alone knew how to take them across the great chasm of life and safely land them on the opposite shore. Adam fell! The tragedy was that all the human race fell with him.
So the “second Adam to the rescue came,” and portrayed to a waiting world how to achieve the same perilous passage successfully. He was completely submissive to the will of His heavenly Father.
1. He walked through life with God’s Word as His only authority.
2. He was utterly dependent upon His Father.
3. He was obedient as a servant in yielding His will to the will of His Father.
4. Though being God, He stepped down from the heights in contrast to Adam’s
stepping up.
5. By His death, He ended the evil that Adam had brought upon humanity.
John’s Gospel especially records Christ’s words which reveal how dependent the last Adam was upon God. Never has there been recorded such noble selflessness!
“I can of mine own self ______________: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not _________________, but the _______ of my Father which hath sent me” (John 5:30).
“I do nothing of myself; but as my Father ___________________, I speak these things” (John 8:28).
3. Christ was obedient as a servant
By his disobedience, Adam brought upon us all a disposition to rebel against authority. Lawlessness is in the heart of humanity. Obedience is not natural. We desire to do that which is forbidden. But Christ, as the seed of the woman, came down from Heaven not to please Himself but to be obedient to higher authority. In the Gospels we notice it repeatedly states that Christ came to fulfill what had been written concerning Him. He came to complete the Divine plan for man.
In St. John’s Gospel, we notice how frequently it uses the word “sent.” A sent one is a servant or errand boy, being at the disposal of his master. When Christ’s own brethren were going up to the feast of the tabernacles at Jerusalem, they tried to persuade Jesus to accompany them. They reasoned that one claiming to be the Son of God should go where the crowds were in order to become known and display His power. “Shew thyself to the world,” they argued. His own brethren did not believe on Him. Now going to a religious feast seemed the right thing to do. Many of us would have gone without having consulted the will of God in the matter. But Jesus replied, “My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth because I testify of it, that the ________ thereof are evil. Go ye up to the feast: I go not up ______ unto this feast; for ___________ is not yet _____________” (John 7:6-8).
“Your time is always,” Christ said to His brethren, meaning that they had not yielded themselves fully to a life obedient. His own going up to Jerusalem was not to satisfy public opinion but to be God’s Lamb to be slain at the Passover. It was timed perfectly with God’s divine clock of the Universe. His brethren could not see why they should commit their program for God’s approval. They were as yet acting according to the first family; Christ had not as yet, by His death, ended their history and begun the new family.
“He died for _____, that they which live should not henceforth _________________ ________, but unto him which died for them, and rose again” (2 Cor. 5:15).
“Forty-seven times in the Gospel of John, Jesus said He was under God’s orders, and that He never did anything, never said anything until His Father gave the command. He was listening every moment of the day to His invincible Companion and saying, ‘Yes.’ This perfect obedience was what made Him one with His Father and what gave the Father perfect confidence in the Son.”─Frank Laubach.
“I came down from __________, not to do __________________, but ____________________ that sent me” (John 6:38).
“As the Father gave me _______________, even so _______” (John 14:31).
“Then said he, Lo, I come ___________________, O God” (Heb. 10:9).
“Even Christ ________________________” (Rom. 15:3).
4. He humbled Himself
“Made himself of no reputation, . . . took upon him the form of a servant, . . . made in the likeness of men: . . . he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Phil. 2:7-8).
We read that the Greeks had no word to express true humility, only a fawning humility. Men belonging to the first family did not know how to become humble until Christ founded His new family. Dickens in his David Copperfield, pictures Uriah Heap as being very “umble” and Uriah’s studied imitation of that grace is unlovely as we see it covering the innate pride of his nature. Christ manifested this new family trait and the world had to find a word to express it. As in the third chapter of Genesis we found that Adam’s disobedience introduced words not used in God’s world before. So now the second Adam revealed to the world qualities not understood by the first father.
Sister Eva of Friedenshort said of these two families: “Covetousness and self-emptying stand as contrasts in the history of humanity and salvation. Covetousness is the principle of the first Adam as self-emptying is of the Second. The first Adam coveted to be like God, to have and to possess, to enjoy, to dominate and govern himself and everything within reach. Do we recognize ourselves in this picture? Self-denial, renouncement, giving up, giving and sharing to the uttermost self-surrender that does not withhold of the very life-blood─that is the life-principle of the Second Adam, the Founder of a new human race, redeemed from self and from all selfish desire. To which line do we belong?”
Because we are proud by nature and self-willed naturally, Christ must needs have stepped down. He invites all the human race to “Take my yoke upon you, and ________ of me; for I am _______ and __________________: and ye shall find _______ unto your souls” (Matt. 11:29).
He freed the slaves of sin
More than one hundred years ago, a young man stood at the edge of an auction sale and watched with horror a teenage slave girl being wrenched from her family and sold into the hands of an evil looking slave-holder. Lincoln vowed that it would be the calling of his life to stamp out such a wretched traffic in human souls, if he ever came to power. Abraham Lincoln did rise to the highest position as President of the United States and so was able to prosecute his resolution. This issued in a cruel war between north and south, and great was the sacrifice in human lives. A Proclamation of Emancipation was signed and by it the black man was no longer the property of the white man to be sold like cattle. Lincoln accomplished his mission, but paid for it by being assassinated.
Another young Man of only thirty, some two thousand years ago, likewise stood in the arena of life and watched men, made in the image of God, sold like slaves to passions of greed, selfishness and violence. The devil held these as bond slaves and they were cringing under an oppression far worse than that of the black man. Christ did something about it. Christ also came to earth with a special mission to accomplish─a work to finish. At Calvary our emancipation from the bondage of sin and the devil was signed in Christ’s own blood. No one need henceforth be a slave to sin. “Sin shall not have dominion over you” (Rom. 6:14). So thoroughly did He finish this work, that men and women for the past two thousand years have claimed their rights as free men, and experienced deliverance from such servitude.
The Scriptures state clearly the purpose of Christ’s death. Let us note several: “For this ___________ the Son of God was ______________, that he might ___________ the _________ of the devil” (John 3:8).
“He hath sent me to heal the __________________, to preach _______________ to the ____________ . . . to ___________________ them that are bruised” (Luke 4:18).
“And having ___________ principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, _________________________ in it” (Col. 2:15).
“Being then made ________________, ye _________ the servants of righteousness” (Rom. 6:18).
We see then that Christ came with a specific purpose to earth. He stated this at least four times, and uttered those marvelous words from the cross, “It is finished,” revealing to us how completely He felt He had fulfilled His mission.
“My meat is to do the will of him that ___________ and to _________ his _______” (John 4:34).
“The works which the Father hath given me _____________, the same ________ that I do” (John 5:36).
“I have glorified thee on the earth; ___________________ the work that ______________ me to do” (John 17:4).
“He said, __________________: and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost” (John 19:30).
