ST219: Systematic Theology — Christology — The Person of Christ and the Incarnation

This episode explores the foundational doctrine of Christology, focusing specifically on the nature of Jesus as both fully divine and fully human. The discussion begins by framing the Incarnation as the ultimate expression of Chesed, or God’s steadfast covenant loyalty, before transitioning into a technical analysis of Greek biblical terminology to establish Christ’s eternal existence and self-emptying nature. By examining the historical Council of Chalcedon, the text explains the hypostatic union, a concept describing how two distinct natures coexist perfectly in one person. Ultimately, the source serves to bridge the gap between complex systematic theology and its practical significance, arguing that Christ’s dual nature is what allows him to both represent humanity and possess the power to save it.This podcast was created with the assistance of AI tools.
