   3. The Angel of Jehovah, the Triune God-Exo. 3:2-6.
2. A man of blood and flesh in time-a creature:
   1. Being the complete God who became flesh, possessing the complete divine nature-John 1:1, 14; 1 Tim. 3:16.
   2. Being a man of blood and flesh who was born of blood and flesh, possessing the perfect human nature-Heb. 2:14a.
   3. Being One who is both God and man-a God-man-a mingling of the divine nature with the human nature, without a third nature being produced.
   4. Being the embodiment of the fullness of the Godhead of the complete God-Col. 2:9.
3. The sin-bearing God-man in His vicarious death-the Redeemer:
   1. As the One who is both God and man, passing through death in His humanity with His divinity-John 19:5-6.
   2. As a created man, bearing man’s sins and dying for every created thing-Heb. 2:9; Col. 1:20.
   3. As a man of flesh, being made sin on behalf of man and condemning sin in the flesh-2 Cor. 5:21; Rom. 8:3.
   4. The blood that was shed being the blood of Jesus (humanity), the Son of God (divinity), and being the blood of a genuine man with the eternal and unlimited efficacy of God-1 John 1:7.
   5. Being the eternal (unlimited) Redeemer who accomplished an eternal (unlimited) redemption-Heb. 9:12.
   6. Being the divine grain which passed through death to bring forth many grains-John 12:24.

We thank and praise the Lord that by His sovereign grace we can have another time together. In this conference we want to see the all-inclusiveness and unlimitedness of Christ.
