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?
This episode looks at two different types of “Great Commission” found in the Bible.
The first is found in Genesis 1:28 when Adam and Eve are instructed to be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth.
The second, found in Matthew 28:19-20, along with texts from Acts 1 and Luke 24 instruct Christ’s followers to fill the Earth with followers of Christ.
Both commissions involved those being sent as receiving the blessing of God.
This episode links together Psalm 119:105 with Revelation 21:23 to point out that the Word of God, both in print (the Bible) and living (Christ) provide light for our journey in life.

This episode looks at how the New Testament addresses the humbling and exalting of Jesus Christ. It’s even seen in how the New Testament writers address Him.
We are also reminded that, for followers of Christ, we too, are following a pattern of humbling in this life, and await a glorified exaltation with Christ, in the next.
