This article provides a very in depth look at why God became man. It is informative, full of knowledge and wisdom. It lays out the incarnation and the virgin birth in detail that helps people understand the difference but also the way it links together why Christ came and lived as man and what He did while He was here. He came to reveal God to man, man to himself, He came to redeem man, He came to restrain satan, He came to rescue the whole creation, to restore Israel, and He came to reign. He did much more than just save mankind and give us a bridge to God.…
Jesus is God. Jesus was born to Mary. Mary is the mother of God. St.Luke introduces Mary when the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a virgin betrothed to a man Joseph (Lk: 1:26-27). The virgin’s name was Mary.…
The body of Christ also needs to understand Christ identification as “Son of man.” Jesus identifying himself with this term has several implications. First, Son of man distinguishes Jesus and his humanity. Jesus was human, but he was the perfect human. The term also points to more prophetic identities such as being the Successor of prophets, and fulfilling the prophecy of the Messiah. Last but not least, the title, the Son of Man, relates to God and His reign over mankind.…
Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God. He was born c.5b.c in Bethlehem, Judea. Jesus Christ was born to his mother the virgin Mary, who was engaged to be married to a carpenter named Joseph. Jesus Christ was conceived by the holy spirit other known as immaculate conception. Jesus Christ was a carpenter, a healer, a prophet, but is best known as the son of God. Jesus Christ was born to save his people. Jesus Christ changed the world in thirty years. He walked the land teaching people about his father “God”. He performed miracles such as turning water into wine, and raising Lazarus from the grave. Jesus Christ died in c.30 a.d. he was crucified and nailed on a cross in a place called Calvary. Jesus had a criminal trial before being put to death. He was charged with perverting the nation, forbidding to pay taxes to Cesar, and saying that he himself was Christ the king. Jesus lived sinless, but because he loved us he died for our sins. According to the bible Jesus Christ rose from the dead three days after his death which was Easter morning. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ made it possible for man to be reconciled with God, forgiven, saved, healing to the nations and his ministry brought the dead back to life. also if you believe and trust in your heart , receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, declaring “Jesus Lord”, you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in…
Jesus Christ? Who is that? Jesus Christ was the human form of God, that came to Earth to preform miracles, teach people his people about God, our Holy Father, and our savior. although he was born in Bethlehem, on December 25th, unto Mary and Joseph. Jesus Christ is the Son of God!…
The following article was written by David Wheeler for publication in an apologetics encyclopedia. However, the subject matter of the article is equally as important in the realm of evangelism. Considering that most approaches to evangelism, including Share Jesus Without Fear, are basically driven by supplying proper “information”, at what point does one’s incarnational lifestyle enter into the equation? Is evangelism only the communication of proper information, or does it also include the total person in reference to one’s outward behavior that validates the information to the world? Is it both “information” and “incarnation”?…
Jesus, God's Son, was born as an infant to humans. Jesus lived an exemplary life.…
A strong quote from John 11:1-44 is, “And when he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out! (John 11:44)”. This quote connects back the Doctrine of Incarnation, which is, “The Catholic/Christian belief that Jesus: Became flesh and assumed human nature, Is the son of God: the second person of the Trinity, and lastly is full human and fully God” (Miller). In addition, the definition for Incarnational Ministry is, “Christians are called to “become ‘Christs” and “incarnat[e] Christ’s love” (Miller). The story of John in chapter 11 and verses 1 through 44 demonstrates Jesus’ incarnation and teaches us that Jesus is fully God and fully human.…
There is a question that has been asked many times over the years, generation after generation.…
After many centuries of heretics and heroes battling over the identity of their mutual love, Jesus Christ, the councils of the Church, guided by the Spirit of the Father proclaimed this mystery with greater precision. God the Son assumed human nature without change, confusion, separation, or division. One person, with a fully Divine nature and fully human nature without sin (CCC 464-469). Humanity is assumed by Divinity. Jesus has a human soul, with a human intellect, a human will, a human body, the Divine intellect, and the Divine will.…
The image of God in man is a topic that has been discussed for centuries. This debate has lasted so long due to the fact that the Bible has very little specifics regarding what the image actually is. In the research proposed, one can begin to form a theology on this topic by looking specifically at what the image is, the major theological views of the image, the implications of the image of God in man, and the humanity of Christ himself. The humanity of Christ however, is an extremely important topic when discovering what true humanity really is, since Christ came incarnate to live as an example for all of humankind.…
The Gospel of John begins by stating that God sent John the Baptist to identify Jesus Christ as the true Light and Savior. First Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth(John 975). One day while John was baptizing in the Jordan River, Jesus approached to be baptized. Once He was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended from Heaven in the form of a dove and rested on Jesus. This sign told John that Jesus is the Son of God(John 977).…
The incarnation is idea that Jesus the Son took on human flesh. In Luke 8:23 Jesus falls asleep during the sail with his disciples which shows a human emotion of tiredness. In Matthew 4:2, after fasting forty days and forty nights he become hungry. In John 19:34 after one of the solider pierced a spear on Jesus side he began to bleed this shows that like any human who is physically hurt, will begin to bleed. The versus support the fact that Jesus experienced pain, hunger, and physical suffering. The incarnation affirms Jesus humanity. The hypostatic union explains that Jesus two natures one. It explains how Jesus Christ took on human nature yet remained fully God at the same time. Hypostatic union implies that they are one person and are fully…

As I was finishing my discussion with the Jogger I observed two Mormon missionaries over-hearing my banter. They appeared interested in joining the conversation, as I looked their way one of them inquires of me “If you don’t mind me asking what type of biblical basis can you give for both Jesus humanity and His deity?” Well the Bible leaves nothing up for any private interpretation as the scriptures tell us that Yahshua had “flesh” (physical body) in 1 Col 1:22. We know he was born of a woman (Matt 1 18-25) confirming the first messianic prophesy made by Yahweh to the serpent in Genesis 3:15. Therefore, we know his lineage as a Jewish man (Matt 1) and we know that “he grew in wisdom and stature” like any other human (Luke 2:52). He ate food to feed his flesh (Luke 2:52) and his human soul experienced all mortal emotions and rationalizations. In the Garden of Gethsemane we see the full expression of Yahshua humanity on display as he sweated (flesh) so hard in prayer it was like drops of blood (Luke 22:44). Then, we see human desire (soul) as ask He asks the Father to take this cup from Him however; He yields His human Spirit (will) to the Will of the Father (Holy Spirit-within Him). NOTE…
