Part 3

Dec 15, 2024

We live in a pseudo-Christian world. A culture that loves the idea of Jesus and finds good morality in his teaching but ultimately minimizes him to the thought of a mere friend, moral teacher, or worse, a genie in a lamp. As our world and much of contemporary Christian music seem to treat Jesus as a celestial vending machine (putting the prayer in and getting the blessing out), what does it mean to us to truly Worship him as Lord? 

As we further explore the prophetic titles of Christ through our advent series, we are drawn to the depths of His divinity, revealing Him as the Creator of the universe, the Redeemer of humanity, and the ultimate Conqueror of sin and death. Yet, we also find the tension between Christ's divine nature and His human experience. Immanuel, God with us, He who created the cosmos, willingly subjected Himself to the limitations of human flesh. This paradoxical reality underscores the depth of His love for us. He understands our struggles, our weaknesses, and our deepest desires because He has walked in our shoes. If we truly search and embrace the fullness of Christ's divine identity, we may find that he is, in fact, bigger than life itself! We are then invited to surrender our hearts to Him, acknowledging His supreme authority and trusting in His perfect plan.

Read John 1:1-3 - How does this passage describe the nature of Jesus in relation to creation? How does this inform our understanding of His Divine Nature?
