How To Understand The Bible

🎧 New Episode: Who Is Jesus? A Deep Dive into Theology and Identity

Welcome to a truly thought-provoking episode of "The Deep Dive"! In this special session, we tackle the monumental question: Who is Jesus?  We explore the multifaceted identity of Jesus Christ.

What you'll uncover in this episode:

The Universal Problem of Sin: We begin by examining sin, describing it as a "pervasive cancer affecting all of humanity" – a shared brokenness deeper than mere wrong choices. We explore the concept of propitiation, where Jesus's sacrifice satisfies the "debt" of sin, connecting it to Old Testament animal sacrifices that ultimately "didn't cut it".

The Mind-Blowing Dual Nature: Jesus is both 100% human and 100% divine. We delve into scriptural evidence for his humanity (genealogies, human emotions like grief and anger) and his divinity (titles like "Lord," "The Word," and his own claim, "I and the Father are one").

Jesus as Mediator and The Word: Discover why Jesus is uniquely qualified to bridge the "massive gap" between humanity and God as our mediator, having experienced temptation yet remaining sinless. We also explore the profound concept of Jesus as "the Word made flesh," God's ultimate and direct communication to humanity.

Prophecies and Historical Context: Journey back to Judea under Roman rule to understand the Jewish expectation of a warrior king Messiah, and how Jesus defied these expectations as a "servant leader". We analyse key prophecies fulfilled in Jesus, including:

The Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53): Foreshadowing his suffering and death on the cross, revealing suffering as "an integral part of God's plan" for redemption and atonement.

Humble Origins (Micah 5:2): Connecting his birth in Bethlehem to his simple, anti-establishment identity, challenging traditional ideas of power and authority.

The Power of His Titles: Unpack the deep meaning behind Jesus's key titles:

Son of God: A "profound statement about his divine nature and his unique relationship with God the Father," a literal connection.

Son of Man: Jesus's intentional use of this mysterious title from Daniel to reveal his true identity as the Messiah, with "dominion, glory, and a kingdom that will last forever".

Christ (Messiah): Meaning "anointed one," signifying his being chosen by God for a special mission and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus's Extraordinary Authority: Explore how Jesus's authority stems directly from his divine nature, demonstrated through his ability to forgive sins and perform miracles like healing and raising the dead. We discuss how he offers a radical model of leadership based on love, compassion, and empowering others.

Why Does This Matter Today? Finally, we explore the compelling reasons why understanding Jesus is crucial for the 21st century listener:

Understanding Ourselves: He provides a model for the "full potential of what it means to be human" and a vision for growth, even in our imperfection.

Understanding God: In Jesus, we "see the heart of God, his love, his mercy, his desire for a relationship with us," making abstract ideas relatable.

Understanding the Whole Bible: Jesus is the "missing piece of the puzzle," the fulfilment of prophecies, and the central figure uniting the entire biblical narrative.

This episode promises to be a journey of discovery, offering layers of meaning about Jesus's identity and profound implications for our lives.
