Section 8

Luke 20. The One examined here was the Godman as the Passover Lamb. As such a One, the Lord had a triple status—the status of God, man, and the Passover Lamb. He was the Lamb or dained by God and provided by Him for both the Jewish family and the Gentile family. He was the unique Lamb ordained from the foundation of the world. Hence, He was examined not only by the Pharisees, the religious party, but also by the Herodians, the political party. This means that the Passover Lamb was examined by both Jews and Gentiles. Furthermore, before He died, He was tried not only by the Jewish Sanhedrin, but also by Pilate, the Roman governor, and by Herod, the king.

As the God-man, the Lord Jesus is unique. He has both the divine essence and the human essence. The divine essence is in His humanity. God is actually an essential element of the Lord's being. Hence, as the Passover Lamb, He was com posed essentially of two elements—the divine ele ment and the human element. As the One who is both human and divine, He is the God-man.

This God-man was the unique, universal Lamb examined by the two great families of man kind, the Jewish family and the Gentile family. This examination proved that this Man had the

highest standard of morality. It also exposed the subtlety, meanness, and insidiousness of those who tested Him. As His examiners were being exposed, the Lord was revealed in His wisdom, genuineness, and honesty. The examination re corded in the Gospel of Luke manifests the per fection of this unique Passover Lamb.
