One of the things I talked about in Europe was the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.  The sacrifice of Jesus wasn’t about God needing to punish someone for the sin of the world, it was about Jesus having communion with us in our brokenness so our humanity can be immersed in the divine nature.  Hebrews says Jesus offered himself to the Father through the eternal Spirit.  Jesus was intimate with us in our body of death, so that through him becoming flesh and tabernacling in our humanity, our humanity can be immersed in the everlasting communion of the Father, Son, and Spirit, and the divine nature that emanates from their love/agape.  

Heb 8:1  Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Heb 8:2  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Heb 8:3  For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

There was an earthly tabernacle and the highpriest was the minister of the sanctuary.  The highpriest would perform washings and wear certain clothing and burn incense as part of his ministry in the sanctuary.  He was also ordained to make offerings and gifts and sacrifices of bulls and goats as part of the ministry of the sanctuary.  The highpriest did all these things as an offering for the sin of the people; to cleanse/sanctify/perfect the sanctuary from sin and death, and to make a way for mankind to be immersed in the presence of God.  Where we have communion with God.  Knowing and being known by Him in the depth of our being.  God baptizing Himself in our humanity and our humanity baptized in Him and His divine nature. 

Hebrews says Jesus is a minister of the true tabernacle.  So what is the true tabernacle and what did Jesus need to perform the ministry in the true tabernacle?  

We’re the true sanctuary.  Paul says mankind is meant to be the temple of God.  In the beginning God made man an earthen vessel to be His temple.  Jesus was ordained a minister of our humanity.  Jesus was ordained to perform a ministry in our humanity.   It’s our humanity that needs to be healed from sin and death, and the only way our humanity can be healed from sin and death is if it can be immersed in the presence of the Father and the divine nature He’s shared with the Son and the Spirit from before the world was. 

Hebrews 8:3 says if Jesus is going to perform a ministry in our humanity he’s going to need something to offer for the ministry to be performed.   

Heb 10:5  Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Heb 10:6  In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Heb 10:7  Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8  Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 10:9  Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10  By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

A body you prepared for me … is pointing to the Son needing to have something to offer for the sin of the people.  Verse 10 says we’re sanctified through Jesus offering his body to the Father on the cross.  Verse 10 says the body that was prepared for the Son is so he can offer his body to the Father on the cross.  

A body was prepared for the eternal Son so he would have something to offer that can perfect our humanity from sin and death and corruption.  You see the Son comes from the light.  He mutually indwells the light along with the Father and the Holy Spirit.  John says Jesus is the Light.  Hebrews 1 says Jesus is the express image of the Fathers person, the very brightness of the Fathers glory.  The only thing that can heal our humanity from the disease of sin/corruption is the light of Gods life.  The only thing that can cure our humanity from mortality is the divine nature.  

But how is our humanity going to be baptized in the light?  How is our humanity going to be immersed in the divine nature that emanates from the everlasting communion of the Father, Son, and Spirit, and their agape?  Paul says to Timothy no man can approach the Light but the Son … This is what it means that Jesus is the mediator between God and man.  No man can ascend to the Light except him who descends from the Light, even the Son of man who is the Light.  A body was prepared for Jesus so he can immerse our humanity in the Light he’s eternally cohabitated with the Father.  Great is the mystery of Godliness God was manifest in the flesh.  Great is the mystery of how mankind can attain to Godlikness.  A body was prepared for the eternal Son, so that in him attaining to our humanity, we can be immersed in the divine nature through him offering himself to the Father.  

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  And the Word was made flesh and tabernacled in our humanity so he can immerse our humanity in the glory he shared with the Father from before the world was, and our humanity be healed from its diseases.  This is the will of the Father.  

Hebrews 2 says forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, the Son also himself likewise took part of the same.  Jesus needed something to offer that can heal our affliction.  The only thing that can cure our humanity from its diseases is if our humanity can be immersed in the divine nature.  A body was prepared for the Son, so that in partaking with us in flesh and blood, he can be intimate with us in the brokenness of our humanity, and from the place of being touched by the feeling of our infirmities, he can offer our broken humanity to the Father, and our humanity can be immersed in the divine nature he shared with the Father and the Holy Spirit from before the world was.  

Hebrews says though Jesus was already the Son he was made perfect through sufferings.  Jesus is the express image of the Fathers person, the very brightness of the Fathers glory, but it was through the body that was prepared for him, that he was able to immerse our humanity in the everlasting communion of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and the divine nature that emanates from their agape.  

The Father says to the Son, thou you have always been the Son this day have I begotten you.  This day have I prepared a body for you so you have something to offer that can immerse our people in my presence …. and when the Son comes into the world, he says to the Father sacrifices and offerings and the blood of bulls and goats you never desired because those offerings can never immerse humanity in the Light, but a body you have prepared for me.  It’s not just Jesus’ humanity on the cross being offered to the Father, Jesus has authority over all flesh, so it’s our humanity being offered to the Father, through the Son, on the cross.  We are perfected; we are sanctified; we are cured from sin and death by the once for all time sacrifice of Jesus.  

In the Old Testament a fire would consume the sacrifices offered to God.  The Fire is the presence of God.  It’s the glory of God.  When the Fire consumed the sacrifices it symbolized the offering being immersed in the divine nature.  The fire would come down and the offering would be baptized in the presence of God; in His glory.  Thats a shadow of our humanity being immersed in the presence of the Father and the divine nature through the eternal Son offering his body that was diseased with our death on the cross, to the Father.  The fire consuming the sacrifice is a shadow of the divine nature consuming the mortality that afflicts our humanity.  

The Fathers presence is a consuming fire.  It consumes every remnant of sin and death from our humanity.  Your humanity has been immersed in the presence of the Father through the Son in the Spirit.  The Son offered his dying flesh, your death ridden humanity to the Father, through the eternal Spirit, immersing your humanity in the divine nature, consuming every remnant of sin and death from the nature of human. 

Heb 3:1  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Heb 3:2  Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
Heb 3:3  For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
Heb 3:4  For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
Heb 3:5  And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
Heb 3:6  But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Jesus built us a house through his own flesh so that through his flesh our humanity can be perfected by the divine nature he shares with the Father and the Holy Spirit.  … Jesus says tear this temple down speaking of his body and he says he will rebuild it in 3 days.  The Son built his own house …. Whose house are we.  The 
Father wanted to rebuild our humanity in the image of true righteousness and holiness.  He wanted to sanctify; perfect; cleanse our humanity from sin and death.  He didnt want to build a separate humanity from us.  So he prepared a body for the Son, so the Son can tabernacle in our flesh, and take our humanity that was diseased with sin and death, and perform a ministry within our humanity that can immerse it in the divine nature and our humanity be perfected from its diseases.  

Prayer at the end ….
