His Life was the single and only life that can bring humankind back in fellowship with God. Understanding who Jesus is, make it possible to have faith in the ability of Jesus to save humankind. It is imperative that we have a clear understanding of who Jesus is! Then His death and Resurrection will plainly fit with “The Masters Plan” to bring rebellious humankind to fellowship with Himself.

It is a powerful clam to make, that one person could make things perfectly right between God and Man. You may exclaim, “nothing is wrong between God and man” Then the first step is to believe the Bible record that there is. Apart from believing the record that we are lost , there is no hope of salvation. After we know our condition as God has revealed to us, our only hope is in God’s plan for redemption given by the same revelation that told of our condemnation.

The MastersPLan is comprehensible. In birds eye view, my prayer is, you will see it in a new and glorious light that will bring assurance that God has a plan and has made “The Way” for Us !

Unto The Jews Jesus was “the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world “ (John 1:29). The great High Priest, entering into the Holy of Holies with His own blood for the eternal Atonement. The son of David that will someday sit on the throne in Jerusalem to rule the world. He was the fulfillment of the sacrificial laws given to Moses.

Unto The Gentiles Paul reveled Jesus as the Second Adam and the other man. This is the point I wish to focus on that will bring to light how His Life, Death and Resurrection restores us to God. Jesus didn't come to portray Himself as God, (the second person of the God Head). Even though He was eternaly with the Father, His earthly minstriy was to show that He was able to save and then die in order to save any of humankind that would simply believe God.

Jesus unique birth (born of a virgin and as the Spirit of God created the new man within her.) was God’s way of Jesus coming into this earth and not being after the line of our earthly father, Adam. Adam the first of which we are all a family member brought death and separation from God, which we are apart, but Jesus (the second Adam ) the sinless man came to bring life and restoration. Jesus' life was tested like the first Adam’s life yet without sin. The testing of Jesus shows us who He was, not that it made Him who He is. His ministry, showing the power over nature , healing the sick and raising the dead shows His complete oneness in the will of God the Father, for He came to do “The Fathers Will”.

“Ye Must Be Born Again”, Jesus in John three, speaking with Nicodemus makes a powerful statement which tells how we are saved. Jesus speaks of a new birth that must take place. Let’s read the record of Jesus conversation with Nicodemus.
1 After dark one evening, a Jewish religious leader named Nicodemus, a Pharisee,
2 came to speak with Jesus. "Teacher," he said, "we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are proof enough that God is with you."
3 Jesus replied, "I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God."
4 "What do you mean?" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back into his mother's womb and be born again?"
5 Jesus replied, "The truth is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.
6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven.
7 So don't be surprised at my statement that you must be born again.
8 Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit."
9 "What do you mean?" Nicodemus asked.
10 Jesus replied, "You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don't understand these things?
11 I assure you, I am telling you what we know and have seen, and yet you won't believe us.
12 But if you don't even believe me when I tell you about things that happen here on earth, how can you possibly believe if I tell you what is going on in heaven?

Jesus (the second Adam ) speaking here reveals that a person must be born by way of the Spirit of God, into the family of God .

In Conclusion we see Jesus’ coming into this world as a vital part of God’s Plan. His death and resurrection brings new life to us only because of who He was.

1 Cor. 15:22 Everyone dies because all of us are related to Adam, the first man. But all who are related to Christ, the other man, will be given new life.
