Romans 1:3-4 (NKJV)

“concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.”

Jesus had a dual identity. According to the flesh, He was born of the seed of David, that means, His ancestry and genealogy could be traced to David, in the pattern of the flesh. He was a man, born as a man, looked like a man, and for the most part, acted like a normal man. But He was more than a man. He was and is, the “Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection.” Jesus was both son of man and Son of God. He had both identities.

And so are we. Though we currently bear the identity of the son of man according to the flesh, we know that we too are children of God, evidenced by the spirit of holiness and confirmed one day by our resurrection. We must therefore always remember that like Jesus, though we look like and bear all the hallmarks of the sons of men, we actually have a greater and higher identity and purpose, linked eternally to the person and purpose of Christ.

“Hallelujah. I am not only flesh. I rejoice in knowing that I am human and super human; I am tied to Adam but also tied to the Risen Christ. By the spirit of holiness and through resurrection, I will be fully revealed on the Day of Christ. Amen.”
