Module 4 - Christology

In the Gospel of Matthew, in Matthew 16, Jesus has an important conversation with his disciples. They’re in the town of Caesarea Philippi, a town outside of Israel, and Jesus begins in Matthew, chapter 16, verse 13, with a very simple question for his disciples: “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Jesus wants his disciples to tell him what other people are saying about his identity, about who he is. The disciples tell Jesus, in verse 14, that some people say that he is John the Baptist. Some people say that he is Elijah. Other people say that he is Jeremiah. Still other people say that he is simply one of the prophets.

In the last couple of lectures, we have learned that Christ has both a human nature—a true body and a reasonable soul—which he assumed to himself in his incarnation. And we learned that Christ has a divine nature, as one who is the eternal God, the second Person of the blessed Trinity. Well, having considered his two natures, in this lecture, we will explore another Biblical doctrine, that Christ is One Person. He is the God-man, in two distinct natures and one Person forever.
