The Lord Jesus Christ
Christ Jesus the Son of God, is the Seed of Woman, the Promised Seed (Genesis 3: 15;Galatians 3: 16). He is the Man who took and sowed the seed (Hebrews 2: 16; John 12: 24). Those who think themselves something when they are nothing are called “cedars of Lebanon” “oaks of Bashan”. But he who is greatest came through the womb of a virgin (Psalm 139:15), a tender plant which grew up and we, who thought ourselves great, esteemed him, who is greatest, the least of all (Isaiah 53:2, 3; Luke 2:52). The Lord Jesus Christ manifest that which Holy God declares is the greatest of all when he willingly made him sin in the place of those the Father gave him. He declared God just and the Justifier and saved each particular member of his Father’s house by making himself absolutely the least. What greatness to willingly make himself least! But When It is Grown…God the Father is well-pleased with his Son. He has declared that the Lord Jesus Christ is THE GREATEST among all the plants of his field, the Holy One, the Faithful One, Lord of lords and King of kings (Philippians 2: 9-12). He is the one in whom all his children lodge without sin as birds lodge in a tree (John 15:5).
