Daily Lectionary: Job 3:11-26; John 1:35-51
I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man, born of the virgin Mary, is my Lord, (The Small Catechism: The Creed, Second Article, Part 1)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Merry Christmas! You can’t say it any simpler than that. True God. True man. Is Jesus God? Yes! Is Jesus a man? Yes! Well, which is He, God or man? Yes!
God’s being a baby and growing into a man just doesn’t square with our notions of what God is like or should do. People think of the “Supreme Being” as “outside of time” and “present everywhere” and all sorts of other really awesome things. What people mostly DON’T think of when they hear “God” is “baby.”
After all, a baby in a manger doesn’t look particularly God-like. A baby in a manger looks kind of weak and harmless. And that’s a foreshadowing. When that Baby grew up and was nailed to the tree, He really, really didn’t look like God! He really, really looked weak and helpless and sad and pathetic!
And there is the mystery of the Christian faith, that on Calvary, God being most God (remember, Yahweh saving us) looks least like God. At least to our notions of God. Weak. Bleeding. Mocked. Sad. Thirsty. Dying. Dead. That’s God?
Indeed. Because God is all about one thing: saving you from your sins. That’s why He becomes man. True God. True man. Both in one Person, Jesus Christ. To do what? Save sinners. Save you. Die and rise for you. Wash, teach, and feed you. That’s what makes this Jesus, true God and true man, your Lord.
This is why we confess the Apostles (and Nicene and Athanasian) Creed. It’s our constant reminder of just who this Jesus is. We confess what He Himself has taught us. He is God and man. And that means He’s our Lord and Savior from sin. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
