Why full humanity of Jesus Christ is necessary?

In our weekly Bible study in Gachibowli we are learning about "Christ-The person". Pastor Mathew George is taking the session in a very systematical way.

Jesus Christ is fully human and fully God at the same time. To understand this clearly we need to
study the two aspects of it
1. Humanity of Christ
2. The deity(divinity) of Christ

Today we learned about the topic "Is it necessary for Jesus to come as a human? And if so why?"

There are seven reasons why this is necessary?

1. Representative Obedience
Luke 4:13, Genesis 2:15-3:7, Romans 5:18,19
Therefore as by one offense sentence came on all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of One the free gift came to all men to justification of life.
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.(Romans 5:18,19)

Adam's disobedience was cleared by the obedience of Christ.

2. Substitute Sacrifice
Hebrews 2:14-17
For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants(Heb 2:16)
To deliver the humanity from punishment of sin, He took the form of a man.

3. One mediator between God and man.
1 Timothy 2:5
For God is one, and there is one Mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus
He is presently the mediator between God and man , since He knows our pains and temptations well. Because He went through all these

4. To full fill God's original purpose of man to rule over creation
When God created Adam, He gave him full authority over everything on earth. But Adam surrendered that to Satan by disobeying God.
But Jesus came to restore that
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth(Mathew 28:18)

5. To show an example and a pattern in our life
1 Peter 2:21, Hebrew 4:14-15, Hebrew 12:2
Since then we have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin.(Heb 4:14,15)

6. To give us the pattern for redeemed bodies
1 Corinthians 15:42-44, Colossians 1:18
Jesus proved that and He is the first born after death. Our hope is that we all will receive this transformed which Jesus received after resurrection.

And He is the Head of the body, the church, who is the Beginning, the First-born from the dead, that He may be pre-eminent in all things.(Colo 1:18)

7. To sympathize with us as a High priest
Hebrews 2:8, Hebrews 4:16

To give us the confidence that you can reach out to the throne of Grace any time.

Jesus is fully man and fully God.

Child Dedication - Dan Koshy Samuel

This Sunday(May 3, 2009), Joseph C Samuel(Jojo) and Joyce dedicated their second son, Dan Koshy Samuel, in the presence of Church.

Jojo gave a testimony how miraculously God protected Dan from his birth onwards.


Later pastor prayed for the parents and Rev:Samuelkutty, our guest speaker of the day, prayed for the child and dedicated him.


Interestingly its Dan's second birthday also on the same day. What a blessing!!

Happy Birthday Dan

Good Bye to...

It looks like farewell time for our church. This time two of our friends who are part of our Gachibowli fellowship is moving out of Hyderabad due to career relocation.

Jithin came to our fellowship around 4 months back . Even though he stays in Jubilee Hills, he always comes to Gachibowli for worshiping the Lord. Now he is moving back to Delhi where his parents also lives. We thank Jithin for support nad encouragement he showed.


Swathi is moving to Bangalore. When we were looking for a God's child to take over the telugu Sunday school in Fathe Nagar, she willingly came forward to do that. She took the pain to travel to Fathe Nagar from Gachibowli, every sunday and lead the Kids worship and teaches children in Sunday school. The commitment shown by her is really amazing and God will surely honor her.
She was also instrumental in leading the Sunday school in Telecom Nagar, Gachibowli

The members of the Gachibowli Church thanked them for their active involvement and support. Later pastor prayed and blessed them.

Yes. We are going to miss Jithin and Swathi. God bless both of you.

What is worship?

This Sunday(3rd May 2009), Rev.Samuelkutty(Bethel Bible College, Punalur, Kerala) was our main speaker. His sermon was about Worship, which itself was Bible study about that topic

Key Reference : 2 Chronicles 7:1-3
1 And when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from Heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices. And the glory of the LORD filled the house.
2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.
3 And when all the sons of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD on the house, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying, For He is good, for His mercy endures forever.

1. Worship is : Glorifying God or Praising God for who He is.
This can happen only when we understand the power of God and know Him fully.

Why we need to Praise?
Psalms 71:22-23 - He redeemed us
Rev 5:9-10
2 Chron 20:22
Acts 16:25-26

2. Worship is : Giving thanks to God for His mercies
Psalms 103:2-3

3. Worship is : Giving ourselves unto God
As a holy sacrifice and offering
Romans 12:1
Sacrifice must be
- Holy
- Live
-Pleasing or Acceptable
Malachi 1:13-14

When God is pleased, God will send His fire from heaven

4. Worship is : Prostrating before the God
Worship starts with praise and ends with prostration

Rev 1:17
Rev 5:9

Put down all your crowns and prostrate before God.

Worshiping God becomes meaningful only when all the above four points come together.
