- One of the common questions that people ask about Jesus if he's God and he died, how can
- 00:06
- God die in Jesus? God is divine and God can't die since it is a biological function.
- 00:13
- It makes no sense They say that Jesus is God Jesus died. Therefore Jesus can't be
- 00:19
- God Well, the answer lies in two doctrines One is the hypostatic union in this we see that Jesus is one person, but he has two natures
- 00:30
- He's both God and man as you can see right there from the table Jesus is worshipped. He's prayed to he's called
- 00:36
- God the Son of God. He's sinless. He knows all things He gives eternal life and the fullness of deity dwells in him
- 00:42
- But also as a man he is he worshipped he worshipped the father. He prayed to the father.
- 00:48
- He's called man He's called the son of man. He was tempted. He grew in wisdom.
- 00:53
- He died and he has a body of flesh and bones All right, so what we have there is the hypothetic union
- 01:02
- One person with two natures now each nature has attributes the communication of the properties
- 01:08
- It means that the attributes of both natures are ascribed with a single person So as God Jesus would he would say right there in John 14 23 if anyone loves me
- 01:17
- He will keep my word and my father will love him and we will come to him and make our abode with him
- 01:24
- So Jesus the person is saying he and the father will live in you That's divinity in John 17 5
- 01:30
- Jesus says now father glorify me together with yourself with the glory Which I had with you before the world was and then in John 3 13 and no one has ascended into heaven
- 01:41
- But he who descended from heaven even the Son of Man now, this is the second person of the
- 01:46
- Trinity Jesus who's God in flesh and yet as man he right there you can see in John 19 28
- 01:53
- He says I'm thirsty and also Matthew 4 2 says that after he had fasted 40 days and 40 nights
- 02:01
- He then became hungry and in Matthew 9 11. What excuse me when the
- 02:06
- Pharisees saw this they said to his disciples Why is your teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?
- 02:13
- so what we see is that Jesus has the attributes the one person has the attributes of both divinity and Humanity and Jesus said
- 02:21
- I am thirsty and he says, you know that I'm the father and I will dwell in you
- 02:27
- So this means that the one person is claiming the attributes of both natures All right.
- 02:32
- So what this means is it was the word that became flesh and dwelt among us John 1 14 verse 1 1 and 14
- 02:40
- Jesus claimed to be God Johnny 58 Jesus human nature died on the cross But because the one person of Jesus has two natures
- 02:48
- God and man Then when the one person died on the cross we can say that God died there because the attributes of both natures are ascribed to the single person and Therefore we can say that God died on the cross not his divinity, but the attributes ascribed the single person
- 03:06
- Jesus when we perceive the divine was perceived the divinity through Jesus when Jesus walked on water
- 03:12
- That was divinity in human flesh when Jesus raised him from the dead That was divinity in human flesh and we see
- 03:18
- God in the person of Christ dying on the cross the one person died on the cross therefore the sacrifices of divine value and Jesus is
