Bible Question:
How can he be both God and Man? That seems to defy logic. When did he stop being "son of man" and start being "son of God"? Did God enter his body at a certain moment and he became divine? Thanks Steve, Isa |
Bible Answer: Isa, this will be something to comtemplate, you'll have to use your imagination, I heard a sermon preached on this on how it could be. Remember what I said about the Trinity? There is one God, a Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Heart of God is the Father; the face of the Father is unveiled by the Son/Word; the Voice of God is heard thru the Holy Spirit. Suppose before God created man, He and Jesus are together and God says I really want to make man, Jesus says but he'll fall, he will have to be redeemed, God says I know, but I really want to make man, Jesus says, OK, if you really want this, then let's do it, I'll pay the price. Jesus is/was/always will be God, He is part of the Trinity. He left His home in Heaven to come to earth as a mere man in order to pay the sin penalty for us because no man would be able to pay that price because a man would have to be sinless and that is impossible for man. So God the Son took on being a man to pay the price for our sin, He had no sin, He did this entirely for us! I know it's a hard concept to grasp, that God would become man for us, but He did! He was still God the Son, he just took on human body for us. I guess if anything, you might could say He left His divinity to become man, then He gained His divinity back when He rose from the death, when He defeated death, hell and the grave. Remember, this was the plan from the beginning of time, but there was no guarantee it would work, but it did, Satan was defeated and Jesus is Lord of all!!! |
