I remember how WL would teach "Christ in His human living did this", or "Christ in His human living did that". Why not simply say "Jesus"? Do you think you sound more 'spiritual'?
I like the blind beggar Bartimaeus who shouted the name of Jesus to the heavens. They tried to stop him and he shouted it all the louder. "Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!"
What a prayer. The mercy of God comes to us through His Son Jesus. God has revealed to us the name of His Son, sent to us in redeeming love. And it is indeed Jesus, the son of David in the flesh, declared to be Son of God in power in the resurrection from the dead by the Spirit of Holiness (Rom 1:3,4).
Hebrews 2:9 says, "We see Jesus" when looking at the OT's testimony. Not, "we see Christ in His human living." No; we see Jesus. Do not deny the Name (Rev 3:8).
