Here are some fuzzy thoughts about the nature of Jesus.

Christ claimed to be 100% God and 100% human. That’s amazing because I don’t think I could fully embrace either.

Of course I could never consider myself fully God. I could never be omnipresent or all knowing... anything more than a subjective being.

But I am also constantly doing things to spite on own humanity as if I am somehow above it. As a finite being totally limited to my space and time I continually make claims as if I am not. Of course I am uncertain and I have doubt and unknowing, but often I pretend not too. I make claims of certainty about realities of which I have no way to prove outside of my own experience.

I could never be God, but I have trouble accepting that I am fully human.

On the cross Jesus was fully God and fully Human. Jesus, knowing all, fully embraced the human  experience of doubt and unknowing even till death. God forsake God.

It isn't in acknowledging, but in participating in that crucifixion that we find ourselves in presence of God fully embracing our humanity.









2 Corinthians 4:10-12 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. ¹¹ For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. ¹² So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
