human shell, but also that the Lord's humanity has been brought into divinity.

THE BIRTH OF GOD'S FIRSTBORN SON

The Man-Savior's glorification was also His birth as God's firstborn Son. Acts 13:33 reveals that to the man Jesus resurrection was a birth. He was begotten by God in His resurrection to be the firstborn Son of God among many broth ers (Rom. 8:29). He was the only begotten Son of God from eternity (John 1:18; 3:16). After incarnation and through resurrection, He was begotten by God in His humanity to be God's firstborn Son.

It is important for us to realize that, before incarnation, God's only begotten Son did not have human nature, only the divine nature. How ever, in resurrection, God's firstborn Son has the human nature as well as the divine nature. As believers in Christ, we all are sons of God and brothers of the firstborn Son. Through regener ation we have the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4). Al though we are human beings, we now have the divine nature. Although the Lord Jesus is divine, He also has the human nature. Therefore, both the Lord Jesus and we are the same in that both

He and we have the human nature and the divine nature.

We thank the Lord for showing us all the points related to the objective aspect of the Man- Savior's resurrection. The Lord's resurrection was God's vindication and approval, it was the evi dence of the Man-Savior's success, it was His victory over death, Satan, Hades, and the grave, and it was His glorification.
