Words of Ministry

As the Man-Savior, the Lord Jesus possesses both the divine
nature with its divine attributes and the human nature with
its human virtues. The divine attributes are related to what
God is and has [e.g. love, light, holiness, righteousness,
etc.]. We cannot speak exhaustively concerning the attributes
of God. But we can say that the Lord Jesus possessed the
nature of God with all the divine attributes.

Here we are using “attributes” in relation to God and
“virtues” in relation to man. Because the Lord Jesus was
conceived of the Holy Spirit with the divine essence, He
possesses the divine nature with the divine attributes.
Because He was born of a human virgin with the human essence,
He possesses the human virtues. Therefore, while He was on
earth, He lived a life that was both human and divine. He was
a Man living a human life, but in that human life the divine
attributes were expressed.

According to John 1:1 and 14, in the beginning was the Word,
the Word was God, and this Word, which is God, became flesh.
God became flesh to live a life expressing Himself in
humanity. In John we see God expressing Himself in humanity;
in Luke we see a Man expressing God in His human living. As
this Man lived on earth, in His living God’s attributes were
expressed. In the Man-Savior man and God, God and man, are
mingled to form a composition full of the divine attributes
and the human virtues.
