DID JESUS HAVE A HUMAN SPIRIT ?

Hebrews 2:17  “Therefore he (Jesus) had to be made (created) like his brethren that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to GOD, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.”

GOD ALMIGHTY created Jesus exactly like us physically and spiritually because Jesus was a soul just like we are, that is a body combined with the human spirit.  Scripture tells us that in Jesus was no sin.

1 John 3:5  “But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him was no sin.”

Jesus was a soul just as we are souls but unlike us was incapable of sin.

Isaiah 53:12  “Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong because he poured out his SOUL unto death..”

A soul, even the soul of Jesus can die therefore the soul cannot be immortal.

Isaiah 53:10  “Yet it pleased GOD to crush him causing him grief. When YOU make his SOUL an offering for sin……”   

This is part of what happened in the garden of Gethsemane when Jesus asked for the cup to be removed from him.  GOD allowed Satan one last opportunity to kill Jesus before he could go to the cross.  

Psalm 16:10  “For YOU will not abandon my SOUL in Sheol, YOU will not allow YOUR holy one to see corruption…….”

Jesus was whipped brutally before going to the cross so horribly that his visage was marred more than any man.  

Isaiah 52:14  “Just as many were astonished at you, so his visage was marred more than any man and his form marred beyond human likeness.”

The above three verses prove to us that Jesus was a soul, a human being.  The difference between Jesus and other humans is that his FATHER was GOD and Jesus was given his FATHERS Spirit without limit. 

Just as we have a human spirit and a portion of the Holy Spirit, Jesus had a human spirit and the Holy Spirit without limitations.  

Jesus, since he was in his mother’s womb, was always with his GOD and FATHER. 

 Psalm 22:10  “From birth I was cast upon you, from my mother’s womb you have been my GOD.”

Jesus had a GOD from his mothers womb but not before.  Jesus did not exist until GOD created him in his mothers womb.  This proves that Jesus did not preexist before his birth otherwise GOD would have been the GOD of Jesus in eternity, which we know is a lie.

GOD searched humanity to find someone to be the messiah.

Ezekiel 22:30  “So I searched for a man among them who would make a wall and to stand in the gap before ME on behalf of the land so that I would not destroy it; but I found none.”

What does this mean to “stand in the gap” ?  All humanity has sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD.   Sin separates us from GOD and we are condemned to everlasting death for breaking the Ten Commandments.  The wages of sin is everlasting death.  Jesus is the man, created by GOD to stand in the gap, to be a savior, a messiah, to those who GOD calls and chooses to be saints.  Through Jesus the saints have a connection to GOD because Jesus is the mediator (standing in the gap) between GOD and the saints.  We have access to repentance and forgiveness of our sins because of his sacrifice and resurrection from the dead.  

Psalm 14:2-3  “The LORD GOD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any of them understand, if any seek GOD. All have turned away and have become corrupt, there is no one who does good, not even one.”

Since there was no one among men that could meet GODS requirements for a savior, GOD had to create one, Jesus Christ.

GOD required that if Adam brought death to us all that another man should bring life by the resurrection.

  1 Corinthians 15:22  “For as in Adam all die so in Christ all will be made alive.”

John 11:25  “Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies.”

1 Corinthians 15:21  “Because death came through a man (Adam) the resurrection of the dead must also come through a man, (Jesus).”

GOD did not die for us, the son HE created died for us.  GOD created Jesus after HIS own character of love and righteousness, HIS express image.

Hebrews 1:3  “Jesus was the brightness of GODS glory, the exact representation, the express image of GODS character…” 

 In righteousness and love Jesus was the image of the invisible GOD.  Because GOD was the FATHER of Jesus and not Adam, due to the virgin birth, the sin of Adam did not pass to Christ and this made the human spirit of Jesus free from sin.  

It is a spiritual reality that any human being can have more than just their human spirit in them.  People possessed by demons can have many demonic spirits in them along with their human spirit.  A saint of GOD has their human spirit plus GODS spirit in them.

Luke 8:30  “What is your name Jesus asked.  Legion he replied because many demons had gone into him.”

John 14:17  “Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not neither knows him; but you know him, for he dwells with you  and shall be IN YOU.”

There is no mystery in Jesus having a human spirit and the fullness of GODS spirit in him.  The saints are the same except for having far less of the spirit of GOD in them.
