Daydreams

Suppose a friend of yours has never heard of Jesus... How would you explain your beliefs about who Jesus is. Well that is a pretty intense question in itself. Jesus is a man that was born of a virgin but he is also God. So he is all human (man) and all God (Holy). Jesus is perfection. He is the savior and protector. He is love. He is a man of miracles and a God of justice. He can not sin and can not be subdued by temptation. He is the creator of everything. That would at least be my general over view of who He is, though I do have a lot to learn. Some questions that arise from friends that don't know Jesus are along the lines of how could He be human and God at the same time. It just is a pretty hard thing to grasp. I agree. It is a hard concept of how they can be in harmony with one another. You would think that it could not be done given that even typical "god" power mixed with just plain man could not hold a power of a god inside a humans body. Some parts are blocked out of what people don't understand or don't want to believe. Their are many who doubt, as there are many things that we should be careful of there is not much things that we should not explain let alone rule out. Who Jesus is being one of them. I think we need to explore this question thoroughly. And as Christians we should be experts and ready for any question that could be asked.

  1. This post starts out like it is going somewhere good. However, you lose me at the end and I am not sure what you are saying.

    It is good that you affirm both Jesus' deity and humanity. But I was hoping you would wrestle with how to make sense of that a bit. We discussed many things in class that you could have included.
