The States of Christ

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.

The States of Christ

In the last few lectures, we’ve learned that the Lord Jesus Christ is God and man in two distinct natures, and one person forever. We now turn to consider other important doctrinal truths related to Christ’s incarnation. In this lecture, we will explore Christ’s states of humiliation and exaltation.
