The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Jesus-fully God and fully man??

Hello Julie,
I think the most helpful example of the two natures of our Lord is found in His stilling of the storm (Mark 4:35-41).
When Jesus comes into the boat, He's tired; He's suffering from human frailty (elsewhere we read of Him suffering grief, hunger and thirst). He is Man, as though He were not God.

But when the storm arises and the disciples come and wake Him in alarm, 'He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.' He was (is!) God; God as though He were not man. And He was both these things all the time.

However, when He walked upon this earth, His glory was veiled (Isaiah 53:2-3). Only Peter, James and John saw His true, Divine glory (Mark 9:1ff).

I hope that's helpful,
Steve
