John 1:16-17 (Amplified) says, "For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received, all had a share and were all supplied with, one Grace after another, and Spiritual Blessing upon Spiritual Blessing, and even favor upon favor, and Gift heaped upon Gift. For while the Law was given through Moses, Grace (unearned, undeserved favor) and Spiritual Blessing and Truth came through Jesus Christ."
John 1:1-5 (Amplified) tells us, "In the beginning (before all time), was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself; He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of mean and the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it (put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it and is unreceptive to it."
We've missed out on what the Father did, when Jesus was brought into this world. In order to redeem mankind and bring His family back to Himself, God needed to do things according to His Own Laws of Heaven, because He is Just and Righteous. These are the same Laws God used to bring forth everything. It must be complete and total and must be done outside the earth and mankind, because they had fallen under the Curse upon Adam's transgression in the Garden of Eden. God needed another Man to bring back the Blessing, union, and His Life on the earth and man. God spoke forth a Man from the Only Truth, that could come into this natural world. That Word was Jesus.
God had to bring another Man into the natural world, but that Man needed to be born of a woman and without sin. Sin was transferred into all men, because of Adam's transgression, so God had to find a different way of getting it done. God began in Genesis 3:15 (Amplified), when He prophesied about the "Seed of the woman." Women don't have seeds. The Seed had to come from God Himself. Jesus spoke about this in "The Parable of the Sower" in Mark 4, where He said, "The sower sows the Word and the Word is the Seed of God."
The seed is planted first, then it sprouts, a stalk grows up and then the fruit comes. The Seed had to come first, Who is Jesus, before the fruit would be born. Every book in the Bible speaks about Jesus and His redemptive and saving Grace. God spoke the Heavens and the earth, the light, the sun, moon, stars and universe into being. He spoke the plants, animals, and everything in and on this earth and "It was so." The "speaking of the Seed of the woman," was to be God's Word.
God spoke everything that we can see, just like He spoke the Seed, Jesus. When it came to bringing Jesus into this earth, God had to ensure everything was perfect, complete and there was nothing left for satan to hold onto. God made a covenant with man called Abraham in Genesis and through Abraham's faith, God could begin speaking Jesus into a bodily form.
God's Word to Abraham and his Seed, was the sowing of His Seed,Jesus, by which we are now Blessed. God puts this Seed into a flesh and blood Man and we can see this Seed began taking shape, as we read the Bible. We can even hear the Words that this Man would say that would make it all Truth. Psalms 23 tells about the "Shepherd Who leads us into paths of righteousness." We read about the Words Jesus would speak on the cross, in Psalm 22.
We see Him, by faith, as He was beaten, hung on the cross, became a Curse, and took our sickness and disease in Isaiah. We see the Pattern of Jesus' death and resurrection, through Jonah's being eaten by a whale and living in the whale's belly for three days. Jesus was being formed one Word at a time. We can read how God was forming Jesus from the Seed. We read how and hear what God's Word has formed Jesus, the Seed, to be in every last aspect of salvation.
God speaks Jesus into creation, just like the moon and stars. God says "A virgin will conceive," in Isaiah and that woman will bring forth a child in Luke 1:37 (Amplified) where Gabriel tells and incredulous Mary, "With God nothing is ever impossible and no Word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment." Luke 2:6-7 (Amplified) continues, "And while they were there the time came for [Mary] to deliver, And she gave birth to her Son, her Firstborn."
God spoke the Word (Seed) and we know that, "Seed always produces after kind," according to Genesis 1:12 (Amplified) which says, "The earth brought forth vegetation; plants yielding seed according to their own kinds and trees bearing fruit in which was their seed each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable), and He approved it."
Jesus says in John 15:5 (Amplified), "I am the Vine, you are the branches, Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much abundant fruit. However, apart from Me, cut off from vital union with Me, you can do nothing." We witness the Law of Kind (everything bears fruit after kind," in everything we see and do here on earth. It's really a Spiritual Principle. If you plant apple sees, then you will get apple trees, because everything bears fruit after its kind.
As God's Seed, His Exalted Word was sown into Mary's womb, it brought forth "Fruit after It's kind." God spoke Jesus, line upon line, into the Fullness of everything that would ever be needed to reproduce in His Image. God completed the Perfect Sacrifice and Savior, the Word became Flesh and dwelt among us, and reproduced the family of God after His Kind.
Throughout the new covenant, we see the fruit of this Seed. Romans 8:16-17 (Amplified) says, "The Spirit Himself thus testifies together with our own spirit, assuring us that we are children of God. And if we are His children, then we are His heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, sharing His inheritance with Him."
When the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, man was restored to God's Own children again. Christ is the Complete Answer for mankind, and by faith in Him we are made pure, holy, sinless, righteous, justified, and totally redeemed. By faith in and through God's Seed, we've been made one with God again. In Isaiah 55:10-11 (Amplified) God says, "For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My Mouth, it shall not return to Me voice, without producing any effect (useless), but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
