Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss a core doctrine of the Christian faith; Christology.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• What is the common approach to Jesus in our cultural moment?
• Where should someone start if they want to dive deep into the question of who is Jesus?
• What about when Colossians 1 calls him the “firstborn?”
• What are the essentials of Christology?
• What are the implications of leaning into one of the natures of Jesus?
• In the creeds (Athanasian, Apostles, Nicene, Chalcedon) they focus on clarifying who, what, and how Christ is. Why this intense focus so early on?
• How does Christ perfectly fulfill the three offices of prophet, priest, and king?

Helpful Definitions:

• Logos: The word.
• Σκηνόω: Skénoó: To dwell, to tabernacle, to pitch a tent.
• Arianism: The false view that Jesus, the Son of God, is the first created being.
• Πρωτότοκος: Prototokos: First-born, eldest.
• Communication of Attributes: We communicate from the two natures; the divine nature and the human nature to the one person Jesus Christ. Anything you can say about God you can say about Jesus, anything you can say about humanity, except sin, you can say about Jesus.
• Docetism: The false belief that Jesus’s humanity was a figment or presentation, not a true human nature.
