Christology April 5, 2010

 

If Jesus is not the Son of God, if Jesus is not fully man and fully God, then what does that mean for the world? If Jesus is only a way instead of the way, if Jesus is just a good teacher then what hope do we really have for all of our burdens? What answer and hope do we have for our failure and pain? Where do we find redemption in the midst of the perils of life?

We reduce Christology to a set of risky religious beliefs, but its more than that. If our Christology is false what does that say about the cross? The resurrection? If the resurrection is not real, if there is no atonement, how do we find hope?

Perhaps there is much more at stake in our Christology than just a theological concept and an academic understanding of a religious faith.
