Holiness & Humanity

We don't have to wait for Heaven to be holy. Introduction (0:00 - 5:28) John 19:1-5 Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him; and they began to come up to Him and say, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and to give Him slaps in the face. Pilate came out again and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.” Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the Man!” God became flesh (5:28 - 14:11) John 1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." In spirit and in truth (14:11 - 18:24) John 4:23-24 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers 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." Holiness and humanity (18:24 - 26:12) In Christ, humanity and holiness do coexist. We don’t have to wait for Heaven to be holy. 1 Peter 2:22 “who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth;” 1 Peter 1:16 “You shall be holy, for I am holy." 2 Peter 1:4 "For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust."
