Hebrews 10:5
* Christ came into the world and the Father prepared and human body for Christ as a vessel... details...
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father."
John 1:14
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
I Timothy 3:16
* Christ, who was a God, was manifested in the flesh, a human body...
"For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily,"
Revised Standard Version
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."
King James Version
Colossians 2:9
* even with a human body, Christ is divine... so back to Mark 10:18, God is good, and so is Christ because He is also a God like the Father... 😉
