He came to us in human flesh ..

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. — John 1:14

God's message wasn't content to stay confined to a book, a prophecy, or a scroll. Praise God! This Message, this Word, took on flesh and blood and bones! Praise God Almighty! This Message, this Word, didn't remain far off, distantly holy and unapproachable. Praise the LORD, God of Israel! He came to us in human flesh, bringing us love, hope, redemption, mercy, salvation, joy...

The Holy Spirit

. Bears Witness -  To Sonship – Romans 8:16

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit  that we are God’s children.

. Sheds Love Abroad – In Experience – Romans 5:5
And hope  does not put us to shame, because God’s love  has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,  who has been given to us.

Seven fold view of the Spirit

. The Spirit of Life – Romans 8:2

because through Christ Jesus  the law of the Spirit who gives life  has set you free  from the law of sin  and death.

. The Spirit of Sonship – Romans 8:15

The Spirit  you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;  rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

Questions of Jesus

On Faithfulness :

Matthew 24:45
“Who then is the faithful and wise servant,  whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?

On Love:

Luke 7:42
Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
