The Man Christ Jesus
The Man Christ Jesus
Psalms 8:4
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Hebrews 2:6
“But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?”
King James Version (KJV)
Mark 14:62
“And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
When we read and meditate on Mark 14:62 We see our Kinsman Redeemer clearly identify Himself as I AM: The Son of Man.
If we read Hebrews 2:5-18 It seems clear that Psalm 8 is indeed Messianic; i.e. referring directly to mankind (those that are His) and to Jesus Christ as THE SON OF MAN.
Refer to Psalm 2, Psalm 110, Revelation 12:5, 1 Cor 15:25-27, Phil 3:21, Eph 1:22, Heb 2:6-8a,
and Matt 21:14-16)
The Lord God almighty has given us the unction of the Holy Spirit to be the plowboys out there pulling up the stones that ARE CRYING OUT as we plow the ground to prepare for harvest.
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
To the Hyper-Dispensationalists:
Ephesians 3:7
(The Mystery revealed in the body of Christ - The Church) is that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel.
Romans 1:1-6
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
We would like to point out a MAJOR NOTE HERE:
We who are called the saints OF Christ are a part of the ROCK the foundation; firstfruits of HIM; HIS BODY; BRIDE; CHURCH OF CHRIST found in the Book of Revelation.
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.
What we're looking at here is the SEED OF ABRAHAM. SON OF DAVID; KINSMAN REDEEMER.
This is us in Him and Him in Us.
Ephesians 2:6-22
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
You will see throughout this study why both Psalm 8:4 and Hebrews 2:6 are so important for us to know
who The Man Christ Jesus is. We are also compelled to know who we are in Him.
In Notes below we have the complete study on Psalm 8:4, Hebrews 2:6 as Messanic Prophecy.
Hebrews 2:6 “But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?”
The False translations change the meaning, and change words altogether to interpret “him to THEM” and make themselves little gods. To put “them”selves in this description of Christ is heresy.
See Job 25 regarding man the worm; when without Christ.
King James version Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. -

And a son of man that You are concerned about him?

Psalm 8:4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?[c] 5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God[d] and crowned them[e] with glory and honor. 6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—

We have recently completed a thorough study on knowing who Jesus Christ is. In this study we established by solid scripture that Jesus was not 100 percent human. Jesus Christ is GOD walking among us.
He that hath seen hath seen the Father John 14:9 (thethirdheaventraveler.com)
In this study, The Man Christ Jesus we bring forth an in depth study of the MAN JESUS.
We are faced with the same provocative - provoking, controversial - quandary - dilemma, as were the people observing The Son of Man, Jesus Christ as he walked the earth among mankind. We read in Mark 3:3: “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? AND THEY WERE OFFENDED AT HIM.”
We read in Mark Chapter 8 where Jesus asked His disciples, “Whom do men say that I am?” (8:27). The answers given were John the Baptist, Elias (Elijah), or “ONE OF THE PROPHETS (8:28).”
In hours of conversation with Muslims and Jews it is clear they believed as did the scribes, elders and chief priests, Jesus as a Prophet is acceptable, but to claim, “the son of man is God,” is considered by them blasphemy.
To add to this, Trinitarians who believe and teach Jesus is the second god, or person, or being to God the Father, are also unknowingly in the same camp - being offended that Jesus Christ is the ONLY GOD - being the image of the invisible God and in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead BODILY. Colossians 1:15, 2:9.
The more we study and know the Man Christ Jesus as GOD walking among us (IMMANUEL - Isaiah 7:14) the more we find throughout scriptures that God is intent on not only knowing Him but also a deeper understanding of His purpose for us and knowing who we are in Christ.
Note: See We Saints Will Literally Rule with Christ further down in this study.
To get our mind around God’s continual thoughts toward us - to be with us - and represent us - to protect us. Read Jeremiah 29:11,12, Psalm 139:1,2, 17,18.
Read Genesis 28:15, Exodus 33:14, Psalm 46:7 and many other scriptures to understand that God desires to be deeply intertwined in our lives and desires we have a close personal relationship with him. John 3:16.
As in any relationship we must know who we are to be able to be in a more intimate relationship.
All the Pauline Epistles reveal who we are in Christ and that ultimately leads us to the Cross and knowing the Man Christ Jesus. To know Jesus Christ and Him crucified 1 Cor 2:2
1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
1 Corinthians 12:27 - Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Luke 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
Come and listen, we BESEECH YOU BRETHREN, and we pray the Lord Jesus Christ Open your eyes that you may understand as He opens the scriptures to you.
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
We place this Scripture before you that you may know our hearts and our reasons why we plead with you all to STUDY TO SEE the TRUE WORD OF GOD.
And so you may know who He is and Our relationship with Him as The Man Christ Jesus. Stay with us through the study here and HEAR the promise of God:
1 Thessalonians 2:12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
1 Thessalonians 2:13
“For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.”

CHRIST JESUS
Behold the LAMB of God
John 1: 1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. :2 The same was in the beginning with God. :3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. :4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. :5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
10 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.
It is here we find it essential to introduce John’s Gospel as a powerful tool to have a fuller comprehension of the Man Christ Jesus through Antithetic parallelism
…Comparing the Absolute Supreme with the Absolute Insignificant. John 1:10 reads:... and “the world was made by Him, and the world knew him not.”
Ellicott commentary on John 1:3
(see link)
From the person of the Word we are guided to think of His creative work. The first chapter of Genesis is still present to the mind, but a fuller meaning can now be given to its words. All things came into existence by means of the pre-existent Word, and of all the things that now exist none came into being apart from Him.
All things. — The words express in the grandeur of an unthinkable array of units what is expressed in totality by “the world” in John 1:10. The completion of the thought by the negative statement of the opposite brings sharply before us the infinitely little in contrast with the infinitely great. Of all these units not one is by its vastness beyond, or by its insignificance beneath His creative will. For the relation of the Word to the Father in the work of creation, comp. Note on Colossians 1:15-16.
For the form of this verse, which is technically known as antithetic parallelism, comp. John 5:20; John 5:23; John 8:23; John 10:27-28; 1 John 2:4; 1 John 2:27, et al. It is found not unfrequently in other parts of the New Testament, but it is a characteristic of St. John’s Hebrew style. Its occurrence in the poetry of the Old Testament, e.g., in the Psalms (Psalms 89:30-31, et al.) will be familiar to all.

Antithetic parallelism
Antithetic parallelism is a form of parallelism where the meaning of two or more excerpts of text are obverse, although directly linked by providing the same meaning from differing perspectives. This type of parallelism is used in order to create repetition of meaning as a technique for cognitive reinforcement, thus more effectively communicating ...

King James Version of the Bible.

Hebrews 5:10
“Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.”
King James Version (KJV)
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
MELCHISEDEC
Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
We read in Hebrews Chapter 7 in-depth we read that Melchizekec was:
the King of Salem and Priest of the Most High God who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the Kings.
Without father, mother, without decent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest continually.
Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils to Melchisedec
Melchisedec was not in the Levitical priesthood (meaning eternal fulfilment of the law - not needing to be under the law).
Fulfilled an “eternal” role as High Priest - was not made not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
In Hebrews Chapter 5:5-10 we read that Melchizekec was:
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Identified as Christ
In Genesis 14:18-22
Jesus as Melchizekek offers Abraham bread and wine the type and foreshadow of the communion Matthew 26:26-29, 1 Corinthians 11:23-25
Abraham acknowledges Melchizekek as The Lord

What it really means TO FOLLOW AFTER The Man CHRIST JESUS
KING JAMES VERSION - Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
In Ephesians 5:1 the FALSE TEACHERS with FALSE TRANSLATIONS THROW OUT A CURVE BALL CHANGING THINGS UP, just enough for some to miss the ball all together.
WE BESEECH YOU do not get lost IN their many words. As shown here in NLT
New Living Translation
Eph 5:1
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
There is a difference between Follow and Imitate and this is another sandy foundation the false teachers stand on to make themselves LITTLE gODS by changing the word to IMITATE in verses pertaining to Following Jesus.
Follow = oxford dictionary page 1042 FOLLOW = move behind in the same direction John 10:27
To be inferior to take as a guide leader master to accept the authority; to obey the dictates of.
Imitate = 1378 to TRY or TRY TO FOLLOW…to try to follow the example of someone… To Endeavor to do something to follow
Definition of “To Follow “ follow verb
/ˈfɑloʊ/
Verb Forms
go after
[transitive, intransitive] follow (somebody/something) to come or go after or behind someone or something
example: Follow me please. I'll show you the way.
Definition of “IMITATE”:
verb
imitate (v.)
1530s, a back-formation from imitation or imitator, or else from Latin imitatus, past participle of imitari "to copy, portray" (from PIE root *aim- "to copy"). Related: Imitated; imitating. An Old English word for this was æfterhyrigan.
To Copy in this context and even more accurately to copy means to BE LIKE. READ ISAIAH 14:13-15… Satan said I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH.
Here is another example of the other versions changing the King James version:
King James version states:
1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
The New King James Version states:
1 Corinthians 11:1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.
Man cannot create but only manipulate AND IMITATE what he has already been given from God. And then take it, build on it or with it by combining things already made.
We see many examples of what mankind does when left to their own vain imaginations and the lustful desires of those who wish to be JUST AS GOD, throughout HUMAN history.
ISAIAH 14:13-15: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
The FALSE Teachers and Preachers decided to Manipulate the Man Christ Jesus, so as to make HIM come under their authority. An authority of their own making, going by the rules that MANKIND lays out as definitive, but have only been made up along the way to fit Jesus into their GOD man BOX, that fits into their narrative.
This is a way they can make Jesus IMITATE MAN in turn making Him A 100% HUMAN God Man.
This alone shows Their limited knowledge of the TRUE WORD of GOD, of all things visible and invisible, has brought them to these wrong conclusions that do not HARMONIZE with SCRIPTURE.
Mark 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
On behalf of man, Jesus came in the flesh.
Jesus was no ordinary man
Luke 8:22-25 KJV
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
Definition and Examples of Exclamatory Questions (thoughtco.com)
The power of using an exclamatory question makes all come to that decision point regarding Jesus Christ.
We see the Manner of Man by the Manner of Love given; Jesus was, as we ALL KNOW, not an ordinary man. But rather God in the flesh coming as the Son of Man firstborn of all Creation.
1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Amen!
John 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
The book of John is not liked by many scholars of theology who see Jesus as the 2nd Person of the Trinity.
One explanation of why can be seen here in the Britannica commentary of the Gospel of John, in what they call the “overall purpose”, the understanding of the Personal mystical union of Christ’s Church, that they “may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name” (20:30).
We see Jesus on a personal level in the Books of John.
see the link and a brief excerpt below:
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Gospel-According-to-John
“John’s Gospel differs from the Synoptic Gospels in several ways: it covers a different time span than the others; it locates much of Jesus’ ministry in Judaea; and it portrays Jesus discoursing at length on theological matters. The major difference, however, lies in John’s overall purpose. The author of John’s Gospel tells us that he has chosen not to record many of the symbolic acts of Jesus and has instead included certain episodes in order that his readers may understand and share in the mystical union of Christ’s church, that they “may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name” (20:30). This motive pervades the narrative, as do a kind of mystic symbolism and repeated emphasis on the incarnation. The author begins his account with a pronouncement on the incarnation that clearly intimates Genesis (“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”). The author continually adds interpretative comments of his own to clarify Jesus’ motives. In the narration of certain miraculous deeds, for example, the feeding of the 5,000 (6:1–15), which appears in all four Gospels, John’s version is explained as symbolic of a deeper spiritual truth (“I am the bread of life; . . .”). Throughout John’s Gospel, Jesus openly presents himself as the divine Son of God, not hiding his identity as he does in The Gospel According to Mark. Thus, the author of John’s Gospel does not merely narrate a series of events but singles out details that support an ordered theological interpretation of those events.

Matthew 8:23-27 King James Version
23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
Mark 4:35-41 KJV
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
One of the reasons John was so personal in his details of the person of Christ and the events surrounding Him; was for the hearer to hear the words he spoke were prophecy that had described the Messiah and His Characteristics. The same characteristics of THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.
The more we got into “the Man Christ Jesus” to our delight we have come into a deeper understanding of The Church and our Inheritance IN HIM, Christ Jesus.
