As Christians we are often hit with questions from friends, acquaintances, and even ourselves about the identity of Jesus and the seeming contradiction that prevents Him from being God. The gospels don't shy away from it. They admit man struggled with the idea that Jesus is God. Remember, they were saying to Him 'Why don't you save yourself? Come down from the cross.' And, moments later, at Jesus' last breath the soldier knew that Jesus was God.
So what do we do with this? The answer is simple. Although it requires you to willingly, and joyfully hold two ideas in equal and unfailing reverence. Jesus is fully God. Jesus is fully human. Why did God make this choice? Why does it matter that Jesus was a person? Listen as we tackle that question.
