1. 0:00Jesus [music] possessed when he came
2. 0:02here the mind of the son of God but he
3. 0:05did not possess the power of God. He did
4. 0:08not possess it. Jesus could not leap
5. 0:09over tall buildings with a single bound.
6. 0:12Jesus by himself [music]
7. 0:14by his own power could not have walked
8. 0:15on water.
9. 0:17He could not have raised the dead
10. 0:18because the Bible says
11. 0:20>> [music]
12. 0:20>> he left his glory behind.
13. 0:23Where his abilities were concerned, he
14. 0:26was exactly like you and me. Plus or
15. 0:30minus nothing. He had no power
16. 0:33that we cannot possess. We have to make
17. 0:35a distinction between power to do things
18. 0:37and the nature. Now, I believe that
19. 0:41Jesus by nature
20. 0:43had this gentle, loving, [music]
21. 0:45pure, holy disposition that belongs to
22. 0:48divinity alone.
23. 0:50But
24. 0:51>> [music]
25. 0:52>> he had no power to do things, walk on
26. 0:54water, calm the sea. All of this was
27. 0:56done by God because the Bible tells us
28. 0:59God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
29. 1:01Holy Spirit who went about doing good
30. 1:03because God was with him. I think that's
31. 1:07found in Acts chapter 10 and verse 38.
32. 1:09So, we see that what I'm saying is that
33. 1:11Jesus was while he was here, he was God
34. 1:14in his nature but not in his power. I
35. 1:16should put it another way. He was divine
36. 1:20in his nature
37. 1:21>> [music]
38. 1:23>> but he was not divine in terms of the
39. 1:25power that he possessed.
