1 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | nsgrace | 53237 | ||
The Bible says the He came in the LIKENESS of sinful flesh. Therefore to be in the LIKENESS then he would have to have a supposed father - Joseph .. and to have a supposed father He would have to have a supposed lineage. That lineage happens to be the lineage of David. Bingo .. Royalty spiritual and physical. We know that Jesus' geneology is traced back to David and to Abraham through Joseph, the man betrothed to Mary. We also know that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was conceived and Joseph had nothing to do with that Seed planted in her womb. How then, could Jesus belong in Joseph's geneology except by faith that is contrary to all natural evidence. --- Faith makes a Christian a child of Abraham because he is the 'father of faith.' And Christ is the Seed of Abraham. I am of Abraham's seed BY FAITH. As Christ is Abraham's Seed by faith and THROUGH THE LINEAGE OF DAVID BY FAITH and He came through Mary by faith and He comes through the believer today by faith! It is not possible by carnal intellect or natural forces that Jesus could be of David's geneology, only BY FAITH! Romans 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also... Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh... |

Hello nsgrace You make odd statements about the Lord Jesus Christ being a child of Abraham and David only by faith. Not so. Luke 3 places Mary in the direct physical line of David and Abraham. Besides, why would Christ need faith? He is the very reality of all that God is. Steve |
