The Nature of Jesus Christ

Like all the other creations on Earth, even the son of God, Jesus Christ, has thrived on this world based on specific nature of existence (Graf n. p.). Such nature is characterized by a dual type of existence which is composed of the personality as God and the personality as human (Johnson n. p.). In order to expand the analysis of the two aforementioned nature of Jesus Christ, it would be necessary to dwell on some evidences and citations.

It was revealed in a number of times in the Bible that Jesus Christ is Lord (as cited by Johnson n. p.) and this based on the numerous biblical passages that attest to the fact that Jesus Christ was born out of the power of God. Jesus was conceived by a virgin lady, an event which frees him from the pre-existing sin that was carried on from subsequent human generations (Graf n. p.). Furthermore, the power of Jesus Christ that was manifested in his ability to cure the sick, gather an immense group of people, and cause spiritual renewal are some of the notable justification to his nature as a God. Lastly, his resurrection and ascension to heaven three days after dying at the cross are the final evidence of persona as God (Johnson n. p).

Jesus Christs human nature, on the other hand, is supported by his physical death which affirmed to the idea that his human nature made him vulnerable to pain and suffering (Graf n. p.). Prior to his death, the bible confirms that Jesus experienced physical hunger and exhaustion, events which signify the human aspects of Jesus (Graf n. p.). The significance of the human nature of Jesus is revealed in the idea that the great desire of God to save his people enabled Him to send His son to be one of them (Johnson n. p). Consequently, the dual nature of Jesus Christ, human and God, is a mystery that is beyond human understanding but is indicative of the love and care that the Creator has showered on the human population. Indeed, the existence of Jesus Christ on Earth has allowed the redemption of the humankind from sin.
