Jesus, the Light to Salvation

By Dr. Danette Vercher

Both the Servant and the Branch are designations in the Old Testament for the Messiah. Both present him in his humility. In Isaiah 42:1, the Messiahthe Servant is presented as the tender prophet (a passage applied to the Lord Jesus in Matthew 12:1820, KJV. Clearly, the Servant is now an individual rather than the nation of Israel as a whole. God would be delighted or well pleased with him. As the chosen one, he was to be the federal head of Gods elect people. He would be especially empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry a quiet and unassuming ministry that would compel many to flock to him and be saved by his light on their way to understanding why he, Jesus, died for their past, present, and future sins to help future generations receive salvation as an unchangeable bill and deity to all.

INTRODUCTION

It has been said that, the Bible is a book of pictures. These are word pictures which are as clearly seen and remembered as though we beheld them by the physical eye as visible illustrations or drawings. If we search long enough we shall find upon every page of Scripture, standing somewhere in the shadow, the outline of the central person of the Book – the Lord Jesus Christ, both the object and end of all Scripture. These word pictures may be received by the eye while reading or by the ear in hearing for God’s ordained method of revealing His Son is by the preaching of the Word, through the hearing of the ear.

In the very opening verse of the Bible, we find the first mention of Jesus. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1). We know this to be a reference to Jesus Christ for when we go to the New Testament we read in John 1, In the beginning was the Word then in John 1:14, The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus was active in creation. For by him were all things created… (Colossians 1:16). And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (Colossians 1:17). He is active in the operation of the world. All things consist in Him. He is the consistency of it all. How did He create the world? By the word of His mouth. For instance, the first act, Let there be light,

Jesus says that all Scriptures speak of Him. and beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27). The Old Testament, therefore, is not primarily an account of creation, the History of the Hebrew nation, or a collection of moral, religious and ethical instructions, but it is a revelation of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Declares:

1. I am the light of the world.

a. In creation, the Spirit of God moved upon darkness and gloom. And God said, Let there be light.

2. I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.

a. A man and his wife joined together as one flesh. (Concerning Christ and the Church).

3. O fools and slow of heart to believe.

a. The Jews only believed part of the Word. They ignored the Messiah being rejected.

4. Take eat; this is my body.

a. Two disciples recognized Jesus after His resurrection when He broke bread for them. They saw His identification marks – the wounds in His hands.

5. Ye must be born again.

a. Nicodemus represents a man having everything but being blind to spiritual matters.

These represent the Son in All Scripture as a Biblical Picture.

b. Ark of Noah – a type, of the coming redeemer.

The Son in Humility; The incarnation of the Word, the Logos, the Son of God, was not an afterthought and something necessary because of man’s need of redemption after the fall. Many have dealt with the question, whether the Son of God would have come in the flesh even if man had not sinned. Rupert of Deutz was the first to assert clearly that He would have become incarnate irrespective of sin. But Thomas Aquinas and the Churches of the Reformation teach that the incarnation was necessitated by the fall of man. "Some Lutheran and Reformed scholars, however, such as Osiander, Rothe, Darner, Lange, Van Oasterzee, Martensen, Ebrard and Wescott, were of the contrary opinion. They said that such a stupendous fact as the incarnation cannot be contingent, and cannot find its cause in sin as an accidental and arbitrary act of man. It must have been included in the original plan of God. The difficulty connected with the plan of God is cleared up when we consider that from the very beginning His plan included sin and incarnation but that the incarnation as well as the whole work of redemption was contingent, not on sin, but on the good pleasure of God.

When the Logos (Word) became flesh, He did not cease to be what he was before. But simply that He took that particular character, that He acquired an additional form, without any way changing His original nature. The incarnation constituted Christ one of the human race. He did not bring His human nature from heaven, with Mary merely being the channel or conduit through which it passed. But He assumed His human nature from His mother. If the human nature of Christ was not derived from the same stock as ours but merely resembled His mediation available for our good. The most important element in connection with the birth of Jesus was the supernatural operation of the Holy Spirit, for it was only through this that the virgin birth became possible.

‘We cannot say exactly how the Holy Spirit accomplished this sanctifying work, because it is not yet sufficiently understood just how the pollution of sin ordinarily passes from parent to child. It should be noted, however, that the sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit was not limited to the conception of Jesus, but was continued throughout His life." (John 3:34: Hebrews 9:14)

He Suffered in Body and Soul!

Many have fixed their attention exclusively upon the bodily sufferings of the Savior. It was not the blind physical pain as such that constituted the essence of his suffering, but that pain accompanied with anguish of soul and with a mediatorial consciousness of the sin of humanity with which He was burdened. The mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus and requested that her two sons be
