A Body Hast Thou Prepared Me

Hebrews 10:5 "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:"
This sermon from Pastor J.D. Montieth explores the glory of Christ's nature and person and how He is the only One qualified to atone for man's sin: "In order to understand how Christ atones for sin, it will help to study both the nature, and then glory of Christ’s person. The efficacy of Christ’s sin offering derides its strength from the holiness of His body, conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, and the glorious position God has given Jesus, as the Son of the Highest.
"It is fitting that Jesus’ name describes the process of salvation: Jehovah shall save. “The name Jesus, in Greek, answers to Joshua, or rather, Jehoshuah, in Hebrew, which signifies Jehovah shall save;” It cannot be man, who saves himself, but only God, Who has the ability to save such fallen creatures, as ourselves. Jehovah shall save thus encapsulates the entire ministry of Jesus.
"In truth, there could be no offering presented by man, that could atone for his own sin. Hence, for God to be satisfied with a sufficient sacrifice for sin, then God must provide this Sacrifice Himself. This is why Jesus was prepared a body by God—so that Christ’s holiness could, after Christ’s total obedience to God’s will, atone for man’s unholiness. We should never wonder if Jesus’ offering for sin is sufficient to cleanse us from it, simply because Jesus is God’s Offering for sin. And because Jesus is God’s Offering, none should doubt, if Jesus dying for sin, can save them from it. For if the Lord Himself made Jesus an Offering for sin, then there should remain no doubt, if men believe upon Him, that Jesus can completely and forever take away their sin.
"Christ saving a man is also not simply a one-time event, for those He baptizes with His Spirit, are those also He continues to make intercession for. As His people’s High Priest, Jesus’ intercession for God’s new Sons will continue until their final and full deliverance, when their human body will be ultimately transformed to be like Christ’s glorified body. Intercession therefore will be made by Christ for His people, until by His own power they are transformed into Christ’s own image."
