Lord Jesus Christ The relation OF the Son and tho
Father limited at here but the true Messiahshp OF
Christ is proclaimed God has told us to listen Je
sus, who God manifest in flesh and Of
communication with the Father. There is glimpse
here too, OF the capabilities OF the human body, and
bears upon the doctrine of the resurrection. All The
functions OF Christs body in operation at this
time and yet all became luminous by glory
that was from within and not from without Moses
caught little OF it when he came down from Mount
Sinai And now IL God can take the human body and
thus in moment transform and glorify It, what
glimpse IL gives us OF
THE CAPABILITIES OF THE BODY.
