Day 345 and theology takes centre stage of this advent season.
Chalcedonian theology in particular.
Jesus Christ is one person, two natures, fully God and fully man.
BOOM!
Christmas is just loaded with rich, profound theology.
One person, two natures, fully God and fully man.
Not half a man; not two persons; not a modified form of God or man.
Fully God, fully man, two natures but one person.
No wonder Walter Wink wrote "If Jesus had not been born we would not have been able to invent him."
This is more incredible than fantastic fiction.
Listen in to today's preach on this topic: http://www.redeemerschurch.com/dlgMediaPlayer.aspx?id=880
This is the Jesus of the Christian faith.
This is the Jesus you are invited to experience.
Hear the word about him and then by faith receive Him. All of Him. fully Go - a secure and powerful salvation; fully human - the truest, fullest way to live.
Christmas truly is magical.

Thanks for introducing us to this incredibly interesting word/theology "Chalcedon". It was fun for my family to discuss this further and even got us thinking about how Christ "in us" (through salvation) has transformed our "nature".
