God-Man, Miracle Worker.

 The Miracle Worker- all knew the man who was meant by such a name, but none knew his given name in order to ask after him. Some could remember knowing his name at one time, hearing his name more than once, and yet could not remember that name now. The collective memory loss revolving around a single name confused the villagers but one of their wisest villagers simply remarked- "All glory to God."  

They all agreed the Miracle Worker mentioned God often, and gave glory to Him endlessly. On Sabbaths the Miracle Worker had spoke in such a way they had their hearts touched and their spirits awakened as never before. The Miracle Worker was a miracle in and of himself, they knew this at the very core of their being. Never before in the history of all history had there ever been a time when such a man could heal as he, never.  Yes, each village had their healers, but their healing abilities were basic in comparison to this man's. They could clean and dress a wound, he could heal the wound to completion. They could give teas of herbs and spices for illnesses, he spoke a word and their illnesses were gone. They could wrap a broken bone, splint it and such, but he could make it so that is was as if the broken bone had never broken. They could offer as much comfort for things completely out of their realm of being able to help- leprosy, lameness, blindness, demon possession, mutism, deafness, wasting diseases and the like. The Miracle Worker cured all of those things, all of them! 

The Miracle Worker was from God, no one in their village would dispute that claim, who else could have sent such a prophet! God had blessed them richly and they couldn't even remember the Miracle Worker's name. All glory to God. He was a God-sent man, a prophet, but what was his name? All prophets had names. All glory to God - proclaimed the God Prophet, Miracle Worker, all glory to God.

They would have deemed him an angel sent by God, if they hadn't learned of his continued work all through their land. He was no angel, at least not an angel they'd ever been taught existed and walked among man before. He was a man, but a God man, they knew this in their hearts. Not a single villager would say different for all had been touched by him, healed by him in one way or another.

When their sicknesses began to return they didn't feel regret, they didn't feel anger, they continued to feel blessed, because they had been blessed. The blind never lost their sight, all those with diseases cured did not succumb to them again, and so on.  Did the newly diseased lament their new conditions having come too late for the Miracle Worker to cure? Sure, in some ways they couldn't help but mourn their fate, but they were still grateful for all he'd done, and when he'd done it.  

All glory to God- as the God-man proclaimed, all glory to God.

A.T. Jones (Excerpt)

'So entirely did He empty Himself of all self that He could say with perfect truth, 

"I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me." John 6:38. 

"I can of Mine own self do nothing: As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is just because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me." John 5:30.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do; for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." Verse 19. 

"The Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." John 14:10. 

"My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me." John 7:16. 

"The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of Myself," "But the Father which sent Me, He gave a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak." John 14:10; 12:49.

He came not doing His own will, nor speaking His own words, nor doing His own works.

It was the Father's will which was done in Him; it was the Father's words that were spoken by Him; and it was the Father's works that were done in Him. 

That is to say, He emptied Himself that the Father might appear in Him. And when He emptied Himself, the Father did appear in Him. And so, "in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." He was "God manifest in the flesh," "God with us."

But He did all this that men might know the Father as He really is. 

Therefore, He says none know "the Father but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him." "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father." 

This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world.

What the Father was to the Son and in the Son in this world, that is just what He wishes to be to every person in this world. And just as certainly as any man will empty himself of self, as Christ did, so certainly will the Father be to him, and in him, what He was to the Son, and in the Son.
