To prove that Jesus is indeed God and the secret of holiness unveiled, the Holy Spirit has written a hymn in 1 Timothy 3:16. Line one says, "He who was revealed in the flesh." Simply stated, beloved, the evidence that Jesus Christ was God in a human body is obvious if you look at His life. The mystery of godliness was revealed through human flesh. It was apparent in the way He was born of a virgin. It was apparent in the way He lived an absolutely sinless, perfect life. It was apparent in the amazing and astounding and unbelievably profound, timeless words that came out of His lips. It was apparent because of the inexplicable grandeur and power of the works that He did, including raising the dead. It was apparent from the amazing way in which he could read people's hearts and minds. The point is, there was no way to explain His words or works other than that He was God, as the Word revealed. And what that also tells us is that Jesus Christ was not created, but that He preexisted. He always was the second member of the Trinity, but He took on human flesh and was made visible. Prior to that, He was invisible. He was the second member of the invisible God, the Trinity. And this simple, profound statement presupposes His preexistence. God, who already existed, became revealed and made visible in human flesh. Jesus Christ, then, made the invisible Holy God, who is transcendent Spirit, visible in human form. In other words, in the form of the man Jesus, God, the Holy One, appeared. Look at John chapter 1: "In the beginning was the 'Word'"—speaking of Jesus Christ—"and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." Verse 14, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His glory"—we could see it—"and we could see that it was the glory of God, full of grace and full of truth." We could see it! In Galatians 4:4, Paul says, "When the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman." The Son was already there. "He sent Him forth to be born through the body of a woman and born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those that were under the Law." He came to redeem men. God sent His Son into human form. That's the very first point of Christian theology. Listen, Jesus Christ, by His own life in the flesh, revealed that He was the mystery of godliness. Look at His life. Look at His words. Look at His works and the things He did. Follow the pattern of His living from His birth to His death, and you will see there's no other explanation than that this is God. This is God! There is no other explanation for His life. Divine revelation offers no clearer evidence than the life of Christ to anyone who was watching to know that He was God. God—Holy God—was revealed in flesh to die for the sins of man. What condescending grace, compassion, and mercy. It isn't just His works and His words that prove He is God. It's His supernatural love, compassion, and humiliation. The fact that He would stoop to redeem sinners speaks of a kind of grace, love, and mercy that is at a level beyond human comprehension. And maybe that's why the hymn begins with, "He who was revealed in the flesh." Because after all, if you look at His life, no additional proof is needed to believe that Jesus is God.
