The God of our Lord Jesus Christ

[jfrog]

Consider this passage. Hebrews 1:8-9
8) But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

9) Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

This passage is about Christ. Christ shall surely rule forever and ever. He is even referred to as God here. In the next passage this same Christ which was referred to as God, is referred to as having a God. Will Christ rule as King because he is God or because of his subjection to God? This passage suggests that the Son who rules has a God. But, God has no God. So, it seems that Christ's rule will not be through his deity.

I think we make things more confusing then they need to be. But then God gave me understanding years ago I can only try to explain how I see God. Jesus never rules through God. God always rules through the humanity of Christ. There for the flesh will always be subject to the spirit. Just as we are victorious when we are able to bring our flesh into subjection to the spirit of God. Jesus spoke to the relgious leaders of the day and said they would destroy the temple but in three days he (Jesus would pick it back up) they thought he was speaking of the Temple (building) But "Jesus spoke of the temple of his body" Paul speaks of God being manifested in flesh. Paul also writes that in Christ was all the fulness of the Godhead indwelt with in Jesus bodily. God worked through the body of Christ, Christ will always be subject to God. As a human body he was death for our sins, he was raised from the dead as the first resurection. He was taken up into heaven as the first to be raised to meet the dead which shall rise first.
