to death, having no other. In 1t, HE
was tempted in all points like as we
are, yet without SIM; and having dem
onstrated His loyalty to God, even
unto death at Calvary, the Father rails
ed Him from the dead on the third day
not man, but New Creature.
In other words, Jesus experienced
the same transformation that the
Apostle mentioned, saying, ut is sown
In weakness; It is raised in power; 1t
is sown in dishonorj 1t Is raised In
glory: 1t Is sown an animal body; 1t
is raised spiritual body" After His
resurrection, Jesus Illustrated the les
son given to Nicodemus, Of which our
text is part. He could, and did,
come and go like the wind. Some sew
en- times during the forty days, He
appeared for brief intervals for the
instruction of His disciples, just as
angels have done. Later, He ascend
ed up on High. "Now the Lord is that
Spirt'-'the Second Adam."-2 Corin |
thians 3:17; Corinthians 1915, Al,
The Bible tells us that God from the
very beginning had foreknown that
Jesus would accomplish this work and
become the Father Of Adam and his
race by regeneration; and the Apostle
assures us that God foreknew also
the Church as the Bride Of Christ and
His Joint-heir In His Kingdom. And
Jesus said to some Of the earliest
members of the Church class, "In the
regeneration lin the Milenniuml -"
We shall sit upon thrones" (Matthew
10:2s.) Elsewhere He declared, ITO
him that overcometh will ] grant to
sit with Me in My Throne, REV. 1921.
The Father purposed that the Bride
class should be selected from amongst
the members Of the fallen race, and
should be prepared for thelr work of
future glory before the worlds would
commence. He purposed also that this
Bride class should have change OF
nature similar to that which Jesus
experienced-it would begin with them
as with Him. at the time Of consecra
tion and splrit-begetting, and culmi
nate with them as with Him, in the
resurrection change. Thus the Church
has the promise that she shall be like
her Lord see Him as He Is, and share
His glory. Il John 80; Romans S:17l
st. Peter, speaking of the call Of the
Church, declared that God gave unto
this class Exceeding great and pre-
cious promlses'-th by these prom.
lses working In their consecrated
hearts to will and to do Gods good
pleasure, this class might become "par'
takers Of the Divine Nature."-2 Pc

, II is manifest that this begettlng OF
the Church TO change Of nature is
very different from the begettlng pro
vided for the world-regenerntion, or
re-begetting, to the human nature
, which Adam lost but which Christ re-
/, deemed for the world. SO also we
have noted that the Church has DIFF
