"விதைகளின் உள்ளே" 🌳
அன்பானவர்களே, அவரது மனிதத் தன்மையை மட்டும் நாம் எண்ணிக்கொண்டு அவரது சர்வ வல்லமையையும், உலகத்தோற்றத்துக்குமுன்னே அவர் இருக்கின்றார் எனும் சத்தியத்தையும் மறந்துவிடக்கூடாது. அப்படி நாம் கிறிஸ்துவை சர்வ வல்லவராக விசுவாசித்து வாழும்போதுதான் மெய்யான தேவனையும் அவரது மீட்பினையும், வல்லமையையும் தேவ ஆசீர்வாதங்களையும் பெற்றவர்களாக மாற முடியும்.

“Therefore, from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.” (2 Corinthians 5:16)
To know Christ according to the flesh means to view Him merely through the lens of His earthly birth and family background. Many people think of Christ only in terms of His human appearance and consider Him a mere man who was born into this world two thousand and twenty-five years ago. Even among Christians, many are unaware of the profound truth that Jesus Christ is the One through whom God created the world (Hebrews 1:2).
Because He was born in the lineage of David, many call Him the Son of David. However, we read that Jesus Himself questioned the limitation of this title.
“David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so, in what sense is He his son?” (Luke 20:44)
Yes, beloved, according to earthly lineage He may be called the son of David, but that is not His true identity. He is the Almighty Lord.
It is this truth that the Apostle Paul declares in today’s meditation verse:
“Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.” (2 Corinthians 5:16)
In other words, though we may once have known Him as One born in David’s line, as the son of Joseph and Mary, we no longer know Him in that manner. We now know Him only as the Almighty God. For our redemption He became human; yet in truth, He is not merely a man.
However, many preachers and clergy still speak of Christ at Christmas time only as a baby. I have even heard some say, “Ask the infant Jesus; like a child, He will give whatever we ask.” Such preaching clearly shows that they are still viewing Him according to the flesh. He is no longer a child.
The author of Hebrews explains why Jesus Christ, the Almighty Lord, became a man of flesh and blood:
“Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.” (Hebrews 2:14–15)
Therefore, when we believe in Jesus Christ and trust that He took on human flesh and suffered for our sake, we are set free from sin, from the grip of Satan, and from the fear of death.
In the early days of Christianity, many people had seen Jesus merely as a man and thus struggled with doubts and difficulties in accepting Him as God. That is why the Apostle Paul emphatically states:
“Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.” (2 Corinthians 5:16)
Beloved, we must not focus only on His humanity and forget the truth of His omnipotence and His existence before the foundation of the world. Only when we believe in Christ as the Almighty and live by that faith can we truly know God, experience His salvation, His power, and receive His divine blessings.
