This message, presented by Adrian Turner, launches a profound new series exploring the unique identity of Jesus of Nazareth as both the eternal Son of God and the human Son of Man.
Key Themes:
• The Unrepeatable Event: We examine the dramatic reality of the Incarnation—that the second person of the Trinity became human. This understanding of who Jesus is is the great revelation upon which all Christian faith depends.
• Fully Divine, Fully Human: The sermon confirms the standard theological teaching that Jesus existed as 100% divine and 100% human (the hypostatic union).
• The Growth of Christ: Drawing primarily on the brief but clear insights provided in the Gospel of Luke, the message tracks Jesus’ development through his younger years. He grew and developed normally, just like any other human being, intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially.
• Learning Environments: Discover the formative contexts of Jesus’ youth: a loving Jewish family environment (as the eldest of siblings), growing up within the multi-racial, socio-politically complex Galilean society, and the invaluable life lessons gained through his apprenticeship as a carpenter.
