This is an update and clarification for the “Reading Outside The Box” episode. The clarification is to clearly state, and not assume, that the audience will understand Jesus Christ as being both fully God and fully human at the same time.
While Christ has both fully human and fully divine natures, He is not split up into two persons. Two natures; One Person.
Ideas have implications. Statements in the Bible have implications as well.
In this episode, Hebrews 1:3 is examined alongside Luke 2:8-9 (as well as references to Ezekiel 10). Christ is said to be the radiance of the glory of God. On the night of His birth, shepherds encountered the glory of the Lord. Was Christ specially present to the shepherds as the glory of the Lord while, as a fully human baby, He laid in a manger in nearby Bethlehem?
Where can we see the light of Christ’s glory?
The Apostle Paul compares the first light spoken by God (“Let there be light”) with the light spoken into believers in Christ. Believers are a microcosm of the universe. It started in darkness; So did we; For a believer in Christ, Christ’s light of glory is spoken into us. The episode explores the themes of Christ, light and glory.
