Listen "The Great Exchange (2 Corinthians 5:21) | Charles Spurgeon"
Episode Synopsis
Deep Dive into The Great Exchange Explained (2 Corinthians 5:21) by Charles SpurgeonChrist's nature is fundamentally described as a complex being, both fully God and fully man. This unique union is central to understanding His role in salvation.As God, He is the Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father before all worlds, not created. He is of the same substance with the Father, being co-equal, co-eternal, and co-existent, and possessing divine attributes such as being Almighty and infinite. He is considered "very God of very God," sharing dignity and equality with the Father in every respect.Concurrently, He is completely human, the son of Mary, a man like ourselves. He experienced the full range of human infirmities, including suffering, woe, pain, anxiety, fear, temptation, and even death. He is described as "bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh," signifying His true and complete humanity. The sources emphasize that He is "Not God humanized, not man deified; but God, purely, essentially God; man, purely man—the two standing in a sacred union together: the God-Man."A paramount aspect of Christ's nature is His absolute sinlessness. He "knew no sin," which means more than just abstaining from sin. He had no personal experience of sin; it was a "perfect stranger" to Him and never entered His heart. This comprehensive purity extends to every aspect of His being: no sin of thought, no original sin from birth, and no actual transgression of lip or hand. He was "pure, perfect, spotless, like His own divinity," making Him uniquely qualified for His role in "The Great Exchange."Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730
