Jesus, man or God?
Un mistero incomprensibile
È sempre un errore irreparabile cadere dal sentiero che segue il crinale della montagna. Il crinale è quella linea immaginaria che corre lungo la cima di una montagna, o da una catena di montagne, da cui è possibile cadere o da una parte o dall’altra; if you fall or right or left equally fall into the ravine, perhaps hundreds of feet below.
is a bit 'the same thing when I think of some of the teachings of the Bible. If you fall on one side or the other by just the right position, you will find yourself in a dangerous cliff called "heresy."
Unfortunately, following the conversation of the last post, the deity of Jesus Christ, if you fall on the one hand, wanting to support and give importance only to his deity, you will fall into the ravine that denies his true humanity. Or, conversely, if you see clearly only his humanity, you will fall into the ravine of the other heresy, denying his deity.
E There is a lot of people fall. Most, unfortunately, believes only the humanity of Jesus, but some refuse or deny that Jesus was really a man, thinking that they "defend" his deity.
But, to be faithful to the revelation of the Bible, one must believe both the truth and always keep them in a healthy balance.
Many of the truths described in the Gospels do understand the true humanity of Jesus First, was born after a normal gestation in the womb of Mary and all those who saw him early in life have not seen anything but a normal child . The Evangelist Luke writes about him, when he was twelve years "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52).
During his adult life, he speaks in the Gospels, among other things, his hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, pain and tears. Anyone who watched him, saw only a man. For this reason, the story of Mary's pregnancy, the birth of Jesus in a stable, and her kindness and care of other adult stories that are all those who love him are happy to hear again and read many times.
And, in fact, if Jesus was only God would not have much in common with us mortals. He could not sympathize with us in our sorrows, disappointments, and human difficulties. E, soprattuto, non avrebbe potuto soffrire e morire al nostro posto, per ottenere il nostro perdono e la nostra salvezza.
E, poi, se cadessimo dall’altra parte del crinale, e considerassimo Gesù soltanto un uomo, anche se eccezionalmente buono, la sua morte non avrebbe avuto altro valore per noi che quello di un esempio di bontà e sacrificio. Invece, solo come uomo/Dio, egli ha potuto morire per noi nella sua umanità e riscattarci dalla pena del peccato nell’infinita perfezione e santità della sua deità.
Solo Dio avrebbe potuto formulare un piano così perfetto e solo Dio incarnato lo poteva compiere perfettamente.
Gesù era perfettamente Dio e perfettamente uomo. Questo is the true message of Christmas. Jesus is for you, our Savior and Lord? If not, you have nothing to cheer about at Christmas.
