How one person revealed another; how a man, Jesus the son, was the manifestation of his Father in the flesh. God the Father who is Spirit was manifested in someone else, a man of flesh. Jesus surrendered himself up to the Spirit of his God and Father to allow the Father to guide that body of flesh to do His will and express Himself to the world. That flesh operated according to the mind of the Father. In this way, that flesh was the Word of God. God the Father expressed his love, his life, his light, his truth by means of that flesh, Jesus His human son.
1. God sent his son into the world by anointing him in the Spirit.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, wherefore He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me....
What do you say of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? John 10:36
But an hour is coming (born of God disciples), and now is (born of God Jesus), when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and Truth.” John 4:23-24; see 14:17; 15:26; 16:13.
2. Jesus' disciples sent into the world by anointing them in the Spirit.
Just as You sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. John 17:18
Just the Father has sent me, I also send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit." John 20:21- 22
For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. Matthew 10:20.
Whoever speaks, speak as the words of God. 1 Peter 4:11
YOU are the light of the world. Matthew 5:14; see John 8:12.
Jesus yielded up himself to the Father and the Father's will. He only did what the Spirit of the Father guided him to do. The Father spoke by means of that flesh; the Father did signs and wonders by means of that flesh. In this way, the Father was revealed in that human flesh. The word became flesh.
