After reading “Jesus’ Two Natures: God and Man” by Matt Slick‚ I now have a better and more clear understanding of the relationship of Jesus’ human and divine nature. The common misconception‚ outlined in the text‚ is that Jesus is half man and half God. This simply is not true; Jesus has two very distinct natures: he is both divine and human. Jesus was the Word of God‚ and with that said‚ Jesus’s divine nature and ability did not alter when He became flesh. When Jesus became flesh and gained his

The revelation of God’s love in Jesus Christ is the center of our faith. Incarnating both the fullness of God and the fullness of humanity‚ Jesus Christ initiates a new creation‚ a world unified in relationship as God originally intended. We believe that Jesus Christ makes real God’s will for a life of loving community with God‚ with the whole human family and with all creation. Through Jesus Christ‚ Christians believe God offers reconciliation to all. "In Christ God was reconciling the world to

Jesus being conceived in a supernatural manner became man and God in one creation. God became incarnate in this child who became known by the name of Jesus (Mathew 1:18-25). Jesus was a Palestinian Jew‚ born in a town south of Jerusalem‚ raised in Nazareth in a small village in Galilee. Jesus was not any ordinary child. Jesus was the son of the living God. Not only was

Miracles Of Jesus A miracle is an extraordinary and surprising happening that may not be explained by normal standards and is therefore attributed to the presence and action of a supernatural or divine power. Jesus Christ Himself was a miracle. From the manner of His Birth‚ to His Resurrection‚ and everything in between‚ He lived a wonderfully miraculous life entirely unlike any other human. A miracle is an unusual event which may or may not bring with it surprise. A miracle is also a significant
Premium Jesus New Testament Gospel of John
Jesus Christ is the self-proclaimed Messiah‚ and his mission was to follow God’s will‚ and spread the word about God’s will. Jesus was the son of a carpenter‚ and his mother was not married to his father when he was conceived (although the conception was divine according to the bible) so she would have likely been the butt of jokes and scorned. He was born in a manger according to the bible‚ but research suggests that he was more likely born somewhere else. Early in life he ran away from his parents

The resurrection of Jesus is the most crucial part of the Christian faith. If the resurrection were not true‚ then our Christian faith would be meaningless. However‚ the resurrection is not just some myth that Christians choose to believe. Yes‚ we live by faith and believe in the Bible‚ which says that Jesus rose from the grave. However‚ the resurrection is an historical event with a lot of evidence to back it up. Most historians admit that Jesus was a real person and did walk on earth‚ but that
