Matteus 1

Studie

2 Aabrahamile sündis Iisak, Iisakile sündis Jaakob, Jaakobile sündisid Juuda ja Tema vennad;

3 Juudale sündisid Taamarist Perets ja Serah, Peretsile sündis Hesrom, Hesromile sündis Aram;

4 Aramile sündis Amminaadab, Amminaadabile sündis Nahson, Nahsonile sündis Salmon;

5 Salmonile sündis Raahabist Boas, Boasele sündis Rutist Oobed, Oobedile sündis Jesse;

6 Jessele sündis kuningas Taavet; Taavetile sündis Uurija naisest Saalomon;

7 Saalomonile sündis Rehabeam, Rehabeamile sündis Abija, Abijale sündis Aasa;

8 Aasale sündis Joosafat, Joosafatile sündis Jooram, Jooramile sündis Ussija;

9 Ussijale sündis Jootam, Jootamile sündis Ahas, Ahasele sündis Hiskija;

10 Hiskijale sündis Manasse, Manassele sündis Aamos, Aamosele sündis Joosija;

11 Joosijale sündisid Jekonja ja tema vennad Baabüloni vangipõlve ajal.

12 Pärast Baabüloni vangipõlve sündis Jekonjale Sealtiel, Sealtielile sündis Serubbaabel;

14 Asurile sündis Saadok, Saadokile sündis Aahim, Aahimile sündis Elihuud;

15 Elihuudile sündis Eleasar, Eleasarile sündis Mattan, Mattanile sündis Jaakob;

16 Jaakobile sündis Joosep, Maarja mees; ja Maarjast sündis Jeesus, Keda nimetatakse Kristuseks.

17 Kõiki põlvi Aabrahamist Taavetini on siis neliteistkümmend põlve; ja Taavetist Baabüloni vangipõlve ajani on neliteistkümmend põlve; ja Baabüloni vangipõlvest Kristuseni on neliteistkümmend põlve.

18 Aga Jeesuse Kristuse sündimine oli nõnda: kui Ta Ema Maarja oli kihlatud Joosepiga, siis Ta leiti enne nende kokkusaamist käima peal olevat Pühast Vaimust.

19 Aga et Tema mees Joosep oli õiglane ega tahtnud Teda saata häbisse, siis Ta võttis nõuks salaja Tema hüljata.

20 Ent kui temal see mõte oli, vaata, siis ilmus talle Issanda ingel unes ja ütles: „Joosep, Taaveti poeg, ära karda Maarjat, Oma naist, enese juure võtta, sest mis Temas on sündinud, on Pühast Vaimust.

21 Ta toob ilmale Poja ja Sa pead Temale nimeks panema Jeesus; sest Tema päästab Oma rahva nende pattudest!”

22 Aga see kõik on sündinud, et läheks täide, mis Issand on rääkinud prohveti kaudu, kes ütleb:

23 „Ennäe, Neitsi saab käima peale ning toob Poja ilmale, ja Temale peab pandama nimeks Immaanuel”, see on meie keeli: Jumal meiega.

24 Kui Joosep unest ärkas, siis Ta tegi nõnda, kuidas Issanda Ingel Teda oli käskinud ning võttis Oma naise enese juure

25 ega puutunud Temasse, enne kui Ta oli ilmale toonud Poja. Ja Ta pani Temale nimeks Jeesus.

29. The Lord Made His Humanity Divine from the Divine in Him, and So Was United with the Father

The doctrine of the church, accepted throughout the Christian world, is this:

...our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man.... But although He is God and man, still there are not two Christs but one, being one because the Divine took to Himself a humanity; yet still completely one, for...He is one person. For as soul and body form one person, so God and man are one Christ....

These words are taken from the doctrine of the Athanasian Creed, which has been accepted throughout the Christian world. They constitute the essential teaching there regarding the union of the Divine and human in the Lord. Everything else said in this same doctrine regarding the Lord — this we will explain in its own section.

It is apparent, clearly, from the above citation, that it accords with the Creed of the Christian Church to say that the Divine and the human in the Lord are not two entities but one, as soul and body are one person; and that it was the Divine in Him that took on the human.

[2] It follows from this that the Divine cannot be separated from the human, nor the human from the Divine, as separating them would be like separating soul and body.

The reality of this is something everyone acknowledges who reads what we have cited above in nos. 19 and 21 from the two Gospels that tell of the Lord’s birth, namely from Luke 1:26-35 and from Matthew 1:18-25. These descriptions make clear that Jesus was conceived of Jehovah God and born from the virgin Mary, thus that the Divine was present in Him and was His soul.

Now because His soul was the Divinity itself of the Father, it follows that His body or humanity became also Divine; for when one element is Divine, the other must be also.

In this way and no other are the Father and Son one — the Father being in the Son, and the Son in the Father —and all things of the Son are the Father’s, and all things of the Father are the Son’s, as the Lord Himself teaches in His Word.

[3] But how the union was formed — this we will tell point by point as follows:

1. The Lord from eternity is Jehovah.

2. The Lord from eternity, or Jehovah, assumed a humanity in order to save mankind.

3. He made His humanity Divine from the Divinity in Him.

4. He made His humanity Divine through temptations or trials that He underwent.

5. The complete union of the Divine and the human in Him was achieved by His suffering of the cross, which was the last of those temptations or trials.

6. He gradually put off the humanity received from the mother and put on a humanity from the Divinity in Him, which is the Divine humanity and the Son of God.

7. Thus God became human in final elements as well as in first ones.
