Ellen Chat Conversation

Ellen White indicates that Jesus will forever retain His human identity, stating that "Christ's identity with man will ever be the power of His influence" (5MR 115.1). She emphasizes that His role as a faithful High Priest who is touched with the feeling of our infirmitiesis a position He will hold "tomorrow, and tomorrow forever more" (21MR 422.6). In her writings, Ellen White explains that when Christ came to earth, "He clothed His divine nature with the garb of humanity" (5MR 115.1). This was not a temporary measure; even after His ascension to the "presence of God" where He shares the throne of the universe,she notes that "Jesus has lost none of His compassionate nature" (DA 480.5). He continues to exist as a Being divine and human,using His "long human arm" to encircle the human race while His "divine arm" reaches the throne of God (1SM 252.2). The permanence of His humanity is further illustrated by His physical presence in heaven today. Ellen White points out that "the hand that was pierced is reached forth to bless more abundantly His people" (DA 480.5). She describes Him as being "unchangeable" in His "human tenderness combined with His divinity" (21MR 422.6). By retaining this identity, He remains a "Guide to lead, a Teacher to instruct, a Friend to counsel" (21MR 422.6) who understands the human experience from personal endurance. Furthermore, she clarifies that Christ's human nature was identical with our ownand "created" rather than possessing innate angelic powers (TA 156). By taking this nature and standing at the "head of the fallen race" (17MR 28.3), He made it possible for men and women to "become one with Him as He is one with the Father" (14MR 348.2). This connection between the divine and the human is maintained eternally through His continued identity with humanity. For practical application, this means that we have a Savior who is not distant or detached from our struggles. Because He remains "always the same" (21MR 422.6), we can approach Him with confidence, knowing He possesses a tender, sympathizing heartthat is "open to all the woes of humanity" (DA 480.5). In conclusion, Ellen White teaches that Jesus' union with humanity is an everlasting bond. He remains our human brother and our divine Savior, ensuring that the link between God and the human family is never broken. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • How does Christ's humanity help Him in His role as our High Priest? • What did Ellen White say about the nature of Christ's body after His resurrection? • What does it mean for Christ to be the "Head of humanity"? --- 📚 **thousands of passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=Does+Ellen+White+say+that+Jesus+will+forever+retain+his+human+identity%3F)
