Teaching of Jesus on Divinity and Humanity

Selected Teaching and Passage Analysis

The teaching of Jesus about the aspects of divinity as well as humanity is very significant because it is the foundation of the earth. If Jesus was only a prophet and the teacher, who had taken the sins of man, it would not make much of an importance.

But if Jesus was God and he became human to sacrifice himself for the sins of man, he would become divine (TOLLISON, 2017). According to Philippians 2:5-11, God had willingly entered the aspect of sacrificing himself.

He had done this for the welfare of the man and to atone for the sins of humankind. According to Hebrews 1:1-3, the Son of God is the representation of the glory of God and they are one and the same. God has spoken to mankind in several ways but now he is speaking through Christ (Martin, 1997).
