Jun 24, 2018 · Jesus voided His position of power to assume the form of a man, a form lower in power than angels. His identity was unchanged; He was still God, yet Het voluntarily gave up the power and position at the righthand of the Father.
Mar 30, 2013 · The answer is that God made Jesus both Lord and Christ (v. 36). As Lord, Jesus is to be identified with Yahweh, the personal name for God used in the Old Testament (Ps. 110:1, which Peter quotes in Acts 2:34-35).

May 30, 2024 · Fully human and fully God, Jesus shared in our frailty (Isaiah 52:14; 53; Hebrews 2:17), but did not relinquish His divine power, for humility is not abandonment.

Many theologians of the modern era, emphasizing Christ’s humanity, have puzzled over the two natures of Christ, assuming they’re in a kind of competition.

His disciples get into a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Rather than get in with them, however, Jesus withdraws to a mountain to pray. By the time it was between...
Three clues in this passage, however, point to a different understanding of this miracle. First, when Jesus reveals to his fearful disciples that “it is I” (Matt. 14:27; Greek ego eimi), this isn’t a call to recognize his human features that mark him out as “Jesus from Nazareth.” Rather, he’s appropriating Yahweh’s name revealed in Exodus 3:14 (I A...
Because the incarnate Son of God is one person with two natures, we should expect to see Gospel episodes reflective of each nature. Even in this profound revelation of Jesus’s divine power on the sea, he uses human feet to walk on water, a human arm to save Peter from sinking, and a human voice to reassure his disciples of his divine identity.

Dec 18, 2017 · On Friday, we ended the week talking about the physical origins of Jesus, and how the “miraculous conception” happened biologically.
