Listen "Fully God, Fully Man: Understanding the Hypostatic Union"
Episode Synopsis
Jesus Christ, the Messiah: fully God and fully man. But how did he live as a human submitted to the Father, perform miracles by the Holy Spirit, and choose not to exercise divine prerogatives at will? In this episode, we unpack the Chalcedonian Definition of the Hypostatic Union, exploring its historical significance and how it protects against heresy. We explore how this doctrine affects our understanding of Jesus’s miracles, the Spirit-Empowered Ministry, and the ongoing debate surrounding kenotic heresy. Learn how Jesus, as both God and Man, performed miracles and lived a life of Spirit-Empowered Ministry.The Chalcedonian definition of hypostatic union states that Jesus Christ is one person in whom two distinct natures—divine and human—are united without confusion, change, division, or separation. Each nature retains its own properties, and both are unified in one "person" or "subsistence" (\(hypostasis\)), meaning Christ is both fully God and fully man, not a mixture of the two. One person, two natures: Christ is one person (the eternal Son of God), who is both fully divine and fully human.Without confusion or change: The divine and human natures are not merged into a single new nature. The incarnation did not diminish Christ's divinity; it was not a change from what he was.Without division or separation: The two natures are not split into two separate individuals or persons. They are held together in one unique person, the Lord Jesus Christ.Propriety of each nature is preserved: The unique attributes of each nature remain. For example, Christ's divinity is not bloodied, but as a human, he has a body and soul.One subsistence: The two natures "concur" in a single person and subsistence, a concept that safeguarded against heresies that separated the natures or blended them together.Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
