What I Meant To Say

Life in the Spirit

By February 15, 2018 No Comments

It is never easy to talk about the nature of Jesus or the Trinity. I tried to resist the urge to get lost in the weeds so many times. I think the difficulty for us in understanding these things leads us to not think about them. With all the difficulty of understanding there is also simplicity. God loves us and became man and was obedient through the power of the Spirit so that we might be saved. Seeing Jesus as truly human can be freeing for us if we are willing to walk in obedience as he did. I want to leave you with this passage from Hebrews 2 (a great book for understanding the humanity of Jesus.

14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16 For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham. 17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
