2. Week 52
Merry Christmas!

3. Week 52
Hebrews 2:6-18

4. Jesus had to
be fully God
& fully man

5. Reasons Jesus HAD to come in flesh like us:
He had to be human to be our example

6. Philippians 2:5-11 (NLT)
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

7. Philippians 2:5-11 (NLT)
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

8. Reasons Jesus HAD to come in flesh like us:
He had to be human to be our example
He had to be human to die in our place

9. Reasons Jesus HAD to come in flesh like us:
He had to be human- to die and be resurrected- to destroy the devil
He had to be human to be our mediator

10. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 (NLT)
5 For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. 6 He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.

11. Reasons Jesus HAD to come in flesh like us:
He had to be human to sympathize with our temptations

12. Hebrews 4:14-16
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.

13. Hebrews 4:14-16
16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
