What A Marvel!
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 1: 14
Spider-Man, Marvel Comics superhero introduced
in 1962, is about a teenager who was bitten by a
radioactive spider in a laboratory.
The boy became a person with two natures, he is both
human and spider. He can operate in both realms. But
Spider-Man is fantasy. A person can only have one
nature. We are humans.
Jesus Christ goes beyond imaginations. He is
God-Man.
He is the only person who possesses two natures in one
personality. He is Son of Man (human) and Son of God
(divine).
He is both God and human. It’s not a laboratory accident.
It was God’s perfect plan becoming one of us so He
could
atone for our sins by His suffering and death on the cross.
We can never fully understand the marvel of what
Jesus did for us. We can enter each
day, including
this one, thanking Him for it!
"How necessary it was that Christ the Mediator should
be both God and man; for unless he had
been man, he
would not have been a fit sacrifice; and unless he had
been God, that sacrifice would not have been of
sufficient virtue."
William Ames
