"...For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life". John 3:16. How did Jesus Christ become Man? The genetics of the "Son of God" is a mistery. But the Bible tells of the blood that God accepted for the expiation of the sin of the world, of those that have faith in the work of the Son of God. But if Jesus was born of a woman and inherited the genetics of his earthly mother, who was virgin, how did he acquire the other half of genetics that a father provides? Child Jesus is the "only begotten Son" of the Father, of God himself, of His same genetics; how is that genetic half human and half divine? "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us..." John 1:14.

We all know the story of Jesus Christ on earth, as the Gospels in the Bible tell us, His coming was prophesised by the prophets from very early in the Old Testament, and how He is the leading role of the New Testament. That He would come from the Father and would be born of a woman, and that she would be virgin, which to begin with is a miracle, something uncommon. That He would be persecuted, that He would bring the message that changes human heart, and that He would give His life as expiation for sin –human corruption, life separated from God– so that we could go to the new creation, uncorrupted, with a genetic with no defects, incorruptible, immortal and with which to go to His perfect and eternal Kingdom.

 

GENETIC INHERITANCE AND THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

From the Greek "monogenés" only son, begotten, John 1:14. The matter of the genetic of Jesus Christ is relevant for certain aspects, although it does not change the result of our faith and of His redeeming work on the Cross. What is very relevant is to see how Jesus dominated the dimension space-time, how He could transfigure (Matthew 17) to a different appearance, how He could heal genetic illnesses (Luke 18:35), how He could dominate the powers of nature (Mark 4:35).

For Biblical Christians, Jesus Christ is the Creator, and therefore omnipotent and omnipresent. We know that, Who was with the Father in the Creation "Genesis 1:26", was Him. Who appeared to Abraham, to Moses and the prophets, was Him. And who became flesh limited to live among us, was Him. Who gave His life because He had the power to give it for us, to give His expiatory blood, to die in the instant He chose to, was Him. Who raised from the dead, challenging the laws of genetics and of the flesh, was Him. Who could go through walls and appeared with the human body that had the wounds and the marks of crucifixion and torture, was Him. Who ascended to Heaven and who will come in His Kingdom, is Him. All those proofs of power of Christ are not possible under a genetic like ours, a divine genetic is needed, called the begotten Son of the Father.

Therefore, Yahshua had the 23 pairs of chromosomes that are in each of our cells, and that are needed for a human being to live. For Jesus Christ to have a human body He needed the mitochondria that is inherited from mothers –the one from man is not inherited– which permits for man to remain alive –although God could have a made a body like the one of Adam– but He decided to receive our same condition, Hebrews 2:14. Jesus, as well as this mitochondria from His earthly mother, would receive another mitochondria from the Father, being the only human being in history to receive this mitochondria, something similar to Adam, and Jesus is called the "second Adam". Therefore He had half of the genes of His human mother, and half of the genes of His divine Father. This totally unique event is what the angel Gabriel announced to Mary, virgin, of the tribe of Judah from the house of David, betrothed to a man called Joseph, also of the tribe of Judah and of the house of David, in Nazareth, when he said:

"Rejoice, highly favoured one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women... ...Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name "Jesus-Yahshua". He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end. Then Mary said to the angel: How can this be, since I do not know a man? And the angel answered and said to her: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren. "For with God nothing is impossible." Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:28-38.

Two sons are born miraculously in this story. The first, the cousin of Jesus, John, the Baptist, of his barren and old mother, God changes the body of Elizabeth. And Jesus Christ, of his virgin mother, where God adds His genetics.

On the other hand we have human blood, that has inheritable characteristics of DNA. There are many speculations about the type of blood of Jesus, and most theologians and investigators, as well as the secret code of the Bible refer to AB+, but further more than its relevance of being a common type in Jews, as Mary was, the question is that the blood of Christ would have components inherited from Mary and her lineage of the tribe of Judah, and others direct from his Father from the Spirit that no human inheritance at all. A special blood, that of Christ, and we know that the Bible teaches that life is in the blood. But in the case of the Blood of Christ, was holy and perfect life, genetically speaking and the incorruptible spiritual life of the Son of God.

"And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, "so that they should seek they Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him an find Him, though He is not far from each one of us." Acts 17:26-27.

 

HIS BEGOTTEN SON...

Christian anthropology provides us the knowledge that relates Jesus Christ with man, and the story of man since his creation. The anthropology of the begotten and ours go by the hand. But behold, God sent His begotten Son "of The Father" with a genetics that dominates human genetics, for it is that of the Creator of DNA, the biological building blocks that God designed for us, a DNA that Adam and Eve received and that when they rebelled against God started to deteriorate from generation to generation. DNA that Christ dominates, corrects, changes, perfects, sanctifies and makes heavenly so we can live eternally like Him, and with Him, for all those that love Him, but not for those who do not want to be with Him. God has given us His only Son, He gave us all He had. The heart of God is for us, therefore there is no excuse not to love Him, no matter how hard our lives may be, there is a new hope, a new life, another life, another opportunity, another genetic, other circumstances. His purpose and what God has made is to give us a second opportunity as humanity without sin, and once His Kingdom is established wants that we are there to enjoy it. For that we need a new body with a new genetic, the one of the risen and glorified body, like the one of Jesus Christ. Do you want that new body and to live eternally in the Kingdom of God? Do you want your loved ones to be there too? Receive Jesus Christ in your heart today and share it with your loved ones.

But the final conclusion is that the genetics of Jesus Christ, human and divine, has been the bridge to reveal us God, for Jesus is the image of God alive. And "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us... ...No one has seen God at any time. "The only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. Him of whom those would say: ...suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" Luke 2:13-14.

"For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? ⁶And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. ⁷And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. ⁸But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. ⁹Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. ¹⁰And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: ¹¹They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; ¹²And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. ¹³But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? ¹⁴Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Hebrews 1:5-14.

Jesus Christ entered the "kosmos" that He created, that which man corrupted, but that which Jesus will transform in a new perfect creation. To live in that new creation we need a new body, a new incorruptible genetic, holy and perfect, the one of the risen and glorified body, like the one of Jesus Christ.

Know and receive the genetics of Him who gave His life to give us eternal life in His Kingdom, where genetic is perfect and eternal. God offers to us the genetics of Jesus Christ, yes, a new body without inheritable illnesses, that does not get old, that does not dye, that lives happily in the presence of God and of those who love Him, and this is possible by faith in Jesus Christ. Do you know Jesus Christ? "Merry Christmas". Amen.
