Fully God and Fully Man | Deconstructing Jesus | Week 01

Christology = the study of the person and work of Jesus.   Deconstruction = critiquing deeply held beliefs of one’s faith.   Big Idea: Jesus is fully God and fully man in order for your salvation to be complete.  Jesus is Fully God. Divine claims.  Jesus pre-existed creation as God I AM statements in John.  Equality with God.   Divine Demonstrations.  Omnipotence - all-powerful.  Omniscience - all-knowing.  Omnipresence – not bound by time or space.  Immortality - the inability to die  Jesus is Fully Man.  The Virgin birth  Human attributes A human body.  A human mind.  Human emotions People saw his humanity BUT he was sinlessness.   Two Big Questions  How can someone live with two natures in one person – Hypostatic Union Why is this important?  if Jesus is God and God alone, then you have no salvation. If Jesus is man and man alone, then you have no salvation. You and I only have salvation if he is both God and man.    Reflection:  Some of you are too distant with Jesus: Consider his humanity Some of you are too cozy with Jesus: Consider his divinity.  Both should lead us to WORSHIP Him.
