Now, this is a question that I get for the most part, but am
not sure if I am able to fully explain, but I will try.
Understanding this aspect of Christianity is crucial in
understanding it all. If we just see Jesus as a nice guy that did some cool
miracles, then we miss the divinity of Jesus. If we see Jesus as just God, then
we miss Jesus’ ability to sympathize with our weaknesses. It can’t be one or
the other; it just doesn’t work.
Jesus: the
perfect example of a human, and one that we should try our best to emulate.
If Jesus were just fully God, I would have absolutely
nothing in common with Him (other than being made in his image…). But this way,
fully God, fully man, I am able to see a clear picture of how God has designed
humanity to be, operating under the power of the Holy Spirit. This encourages
me two-fold, although He is fully God He still understands my weakness through
His humanity, as well it gives me hope and confidence in what God has planned
for my life. I have to power in me, through the Holy Spirit to move mountains!
Just like it says in John 14:12, “whoever believes in me
will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do,
because I am going to the Father.”
I love thinking about Jesus as a baby. The Word made flesh:
lost his first tooth, went to school with his friends, and probably had the
attention of all the girls in high school. It’s just so neat to think about it,
and it really helps me to grasp it all. As difficult as it is reconciling fully
God, fully Man, I have to trust in the Lord, that He would come to the earth to
pay for my sins and that at the same time have divine rule over everything. It
is really the only thing that makes sense. Jesus.
