"The Seed Of Christ"

Reference: Isaiah Chapter 53

Every man or woman on earth is a seed of the first Adam. They are physical seeds of the first Adam. If they remain in unbelief, they remain spiritual seeds of the first Adam. Faith and unbelief are spiritual senses.
A man or woman doesn't have to remain a seed in the first Adam. They have the ability to be seeds of the Second Adam, Jesus Christ. This is done by them, not unbelieving like the first Adam, but believing like Jesus Christ, the second Adam. Through death and resurrection with Him.
What makes a seed is the unity in the word. When God put His word in the apple seed, that word forever codes for apple and apple only. This is scientifically referred to as the genetic code or the DNA. When God placed His word in the horse seed, the Word only bore horses.. What makes one a seed of the first Adam or the second Adam depends on the word of God in them. If they have the genetic code or DNA of Adam, which is unbelief in the Word of God, they remain seeds of Adam. But if they, by faith, receive the genetic code or DNA of Christ, which is the Word of God,, they become seeds of Christ.

"Who has believed our report?" Isaiah asked.

Let's read.

Isaiah 53:1-2 "Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? [2] For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him."

A root out of the dry ground. His genetic code, or DNA, was different from any man. He was the new blood, the new genetic code that God has sent. This is the pure word of God. This word of God can only be received by faith. When one receives Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, they are receiving the pure Word of God. They are receiving the DNA and genetic code of God, and they become seeds of God.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 53:3 "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."

They couldn't see the difference between Him and any man because they did not know He had a different DNA or genetic code. They didn't know He had a different blood.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 53:4-5 "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

On the cross, God took the body of Jesus and separated it from the Spirit. He brought that body to sit on His right-hand side and sent the Spirit back to the church, beginning the day of Pentecost,  to dwell in men and women, to make them seeds of God, seeds of Christ.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 53:6 "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."

As a result of the inherited genetic code or DNA of the first Adam, we are all born unbelievers. We have all gone astray until we are born again. We are risen in the new blood. We have become one with the Word of God, DNA, or genetic code, which is Jesus Christ.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 53:7-10 "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. [8] He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. [9] And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. [10] Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."

He made His soul an offering for the sin of Adam, the unbelief of Adam. The sin of Adam allowed Satan to take captive of every seed that was in Adam before the fall. The work of the cross allowed God to redeem every seed that was in Adam by providing the DNA or genetic code, which must be received by faith. This genetic code is the Word of God. This genetic code is Jesus Christ.

We conclude our reading.

Isaiah 53:11-12 "He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. [12] Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

Jesus Christ is the new figurehead of the world, a title that the first Adam held before the fall. The transgression of Adam, the first Adam, made every seed of the first Adam a transgressor. By the second Adam taking the first Adam's place, He has moved every transgressor out of the first Adam into Him. This is done by the individual receiving Him, the second Adam, by faith. The believer is then regened or regenerated. They receive a new DNA or genetic code because when we receive Jesus Christ, we are receiving the pure Word, the DNA or genetic code of God.

Receive the DNA or genetic code of God. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the First Adam. His seed is redeemed or regened from the seed of the first Adam, in Christ!
