Over the past few months
I have been re-examining
Jesus....
Fully man
Fully God
....and...
how does that work?
- Born a baby
- Grew up with brothers and sisters
and they didn't seem to find in him
anything particularly special... - ref
Jn 7:3-5
- Yet stayed in Jerusalem when He was 12
to 'be in His Father's house' - ref
Lk 2:49
- Yet Zacchaeus was converted by one conversation - ref
Lk 19:5
- Yet Jesus was 'God visiting' Jerusalem - ref
Lk 19:44
- Yet Jesus himself says he is the chief 'cornerstone' of all things - ref
Lk 20:17
and Yet
I also read...
- that He emptied himself of all things 'God' - ref
Phil 2:6-8
- and became obedient to the Father - ref
Matt 26:39
- even to the taking on himself our sin
that would separate Him from God... - ref
Matt 27:46
Jesus...
You are God
Yet
for my sake
became
Man....
and walked with the Father
and the Spirit
and endured
and suffered
and yet
You were
and
are
God
this is mystery
to me....
Thank You for
teaching me
more
today.
about
You.
