=Jesus Christ=
Jesus Christ is the physical embodiment of the fullness of the Godhead. He is the Unbegotten Only Son as the second person of the Trinity. He is the Only Begotten Son, as the son of Mary. He is the Usurping second Son, the Second Adam, who received the inheritance in the prophetic pattern of Seth, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and others.
Though the doctrine of kenosis is thought to be a heresy by many, there arguments are filled with misunderstandings of scripture. The metaphor of the kof and the nun make clear the nature of Christ. He is fully God and fully man by ontological nature. However, in order to be found qualified to be our high priest, and be tempted in every way that we are, without sinning, he could not use his divinity to resist sin. He chose not to be omnipresent; limiting himself to being in one place at one time. He chose not to use omnipotence; limiting himself to the strength of a child which grew to be the strength of a man. He chose to to use his omniscience; limiting himself to the knowledge of a child who was taught that he was the Son of God, by his parents, ad then learned from scripture what that meant; including his death on the cross.
Using no divine advantage, he chose to die for us, in obedience to the will of the Father, that he discerned from scripture. In the same manner that Jesus saw the Father speak of the cross through the hidden mystery in the Old Testament, he saw the Father saying the same through circumstances in his daily life, with which he participated, to indicate his willingness to face the cross. The Father rewarded him with miracles to indicate his favor and to encourage him forward.
Though not wanting to die, his greater desire was to be totally devoted to the Father, represented by the burnt offering. His Gethsemane experience was one of putting off the flesh in order to be obedient by his spirit. This is prophesied by the 'limping side' hidden in the account of the formation of Eve, the bruised heel of the seed of the woman in Genesis, and the withered thigh of Jacob.
His death was real, and is represented in scripture as two deaths: one of the flesh and one of the Spirit. Both the Son of Man died, ad the Son of God died (as 'roles'). He was literally resurrected in the flesh. However his nature as the Son of Man; the one who had emptied himself, was not resurrected. In resurrection he took up his former glory as the Son of God, using and enjoying all of the divine attributes to which he had formerly closed his eyes. 'Closing his eyes' is used to illustrate that we do not go blind when we choose to close our eyes. Neither had Jesus given up any part of the divinity that he simply chose not to use prior to the cross.
Jesus fulfilled all four offices of revelation, being the Word incarnate. He was THE prophet, teaching the doctrine of the cross. He was THE judge, reproving us and removing all our excuses for sin by being tempted without sin. He became THE priest in resurrection correcting the failures due to our sin; making things right. And he was THE king, not only having discipline of his own flesh, but teaching us to discipline ours as well. He was portrayed as a sickly priest before the cross, unable to perform his priestly duties until the resurrection.
