5005  The Humanity of Christ

1 This unique truth the whole Bible unveils:
  Our God has put on humanity;
  Both God and man, as the Scripture reveals;
  Hallelujah unto eternity.
  Praise the Lord for Christ's humanity!
  It's central to God's economy
  To produce a divine—human incorporation
  Which consummates the New Jerusalem.
  
2 Old Testament portrays Christ as a Man,
  With four types showing His humanity:
  Seed of the woman, seed of Abraham,
  The seed of David, branch of Jesse.
  
3 Christ as a Man in His humanity
  Visited Abraham, with Jacob fought,
  Met Joshua as Captain of God's army,
  Foretold of Samson, Israel's comfort.
  
4 As Man of sorrows He lived, and was slain,
  Suffered, despised, our redemption to win.
  According to righteousness He will reign,
  There'll be enjoyment and protection.
  
5 Above the firmament, Christ is enthroned,
  Satan's dominion is far, far below.
  Each measurement of God's building He knows,
  In midst of Israel, His possession.
  
6 Christ as a Man walked with Daniel's three friends,
  In fiery trial appearing with them;
  Met Daniel's need as a Man once again;
  He's everything in God's move as a Man.
  
7 Though they dispersed, Christ was with Israel,
  Measured Jerus'lem to gain her in full;
  As Shoot of David, God's temple He'll build,
  He'll be a Priest and o'er all nations rule.
  
8 As Son of Man, He's with Israel involved,
  With us as well: we His oneness enjoy;
  He's stock of Israel exalted by God,
  He'll gain the Kingdom, enemies destroy.
  
9 Christ as revealed in the New Testament
  Came in the flesh; Son of Man now is He!
  Fulfillment of God's economy,
  All carried out in Christ's humanity.
  
  A hymn based on messages given in the Winter Training, December 1996.
