Binmin Podcast Ep. 14: Jesus's Two Natures | Putting the Fun In...

The deity of Jesus is the second in an eight-part series. The deity of Jesus is a uniquely Christian doctrine. It refers to Jesus being fully God and fully human. Jesus needed to be a perfect human to sacrifice himself in our place. That way, he could take our sins and God’s anger at those sins. He also had to be God to have the power to save us. The deity of Christ is a mystery that finite human minds cannot understand. The more you know about the deity of Christ, the more you appreciate how much God loves every one of us (John 3:16) 0:00 - Introduction and welcome 0:30 - Jesus has two distinct natures. He is both fully God and fully human 1:25 - “Deity” means “having the nature of God.” Christians believe Jesus is “God the Son,” the Second person of the Trinity. 3:26 - But Jesus is completely God (Col 2:9) and fully human. This doctrine is a “mystery.” 6:48 - Jesus is God with his divine nature. When the Holy Spirit miraculously conceived Jesus (virgin conception), Christ took on a second perfect human nature (cf. Phil. 2:5-8). 9:14 - Because Christ has two natures, one question about him is two questions! One refers to Christ’s human (limited) nature and the other to His divine (unlimited) nature. 14:35 - Jesus needed to be fully human and sinless to be our substitute and suffer for humans. He had to be fully God to have the power to save us! 15:57 - So what? We know that Christ’s sacrifice is enough to save us. We also have a sympathetic God who hears and understands us (Heb 4:15), and he has the power to help. 17:37 - Thank you and wrap up.
