187. Christ\u2019s Sevenfold Character<\/p>\n
In Luk_1:5-17, Luk_1:26-33; Luk_2:25-26, Luk_2:36-37, Luk_2:38<\/p>\n
1. \u201cThe Lord\u201d (Luk_1:17). John\u2019s mission was to \u201cmake ready a people prepared for the Lord,\u201d or, as the Revised Version, \u201cTo make ready for the Lord a people prepared.\u201d A Lord for the people to meet their need, and the people for the Lord to be His joy.<\/p>\n
2. \u201cJesus\u201d (Luk_1:31; Luk_2:21). A common name among the Jews, and yet how uncommon because of Him who bears it.<\/p>\n
3. \u201cSon of the Most High\u201d (Luk_1:32, R.V.). The first time God is called \u201cThe Most High God\u201d is in Gen_14:18-19, Gen_14:20, and as such He is \u201cThe Possessor of Heaven and earth.\u201d Coupled with the statement of the angel regarding Christ as \u201cthe Son of the Most High,\u201d we see how He illustrates the original title, for as such He will be \u201cgreat,\u201d have the throne of His father David, reign over the House of Jacob, and have an unending Kingdom. Ponder the seven \u201cshalts\u201d and \u201cshalls\u201d of Luk_1:31-33.<\/p>\n
4. \u201cThe Son of God\u201d (Luk_1:35). Christ was God the Son before He became the Son of God; that is, in the essence of His being He was eternally the Son of God, but when the Father would express Himself in human form He became a Son.<\/p>\n
5. \u201cThe Consolation of Israel\u201d (Luk_2:25). \u201cConsolation\u201d means something or someone near who encourages, enables, and helps us along, hence to console or comfort. The words \u201ccomfort\u201d and \u201cconsolation\u201d occur ten times in 2Co_1:3-7.<\/p>\n
6. \u201cThe Lord\u2019s Christ\u201d (Luk_2:26). When the aged Simeon took up the infant Christ in his arms he not only saw \u201cthe Lord\u2019s Christ\u201d in the infant, but also the \u201cSalvation,\u201d and \u201cthe Light to lighten the Gentiles\u201d and \u201cthe glory of Israel\u201d (Luk_2:30, Luk_2:32).<\/p>\n
7. \u201cRedemption\u201d (Luk_2:38). Christ has paid the price by His precious Blood, that He might set us at liberty\u2014Eph_1:7. He frees us from sin\u2019s penalty and power, and will ultimately free us from sin\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n
