After reading “Jesus’ Two Natures: God and Man” by Matt Slick‚ I now have a better and more clear understanding of the relationship of Jesus’ human and divine nature.

Jesus Christ is the self-proclaimed Messiah‚ and his mission was to follow God’s will‚ and spread the word about God’s will. Jesus was the son of a carpenter‚ and his mother was not married to his father when he was conceived (although the conception was divine according to the bible) so she would have likely been the butt of jokes and scorned. He was born in a manger according to the bible‚ but research suggests that he was more likely born somewhere else. Early in life he ran away from his parents

Steps To Christ Steps to Christ is a book that concentrates on the life of Jesus Christ and the love that God pours down on us by his amazing grace and his beautiful nature. During the first few chapters of the book it explains to us the way to come to God. After this the rest of the book explains how to engage and remain true to God. One vivid parallel I got from the book was that even though plants have thistles and vines have thorns‚ there are beautiful flowers still grow on them. This works

The Taking of Christ A good artist needs only a solitary moment in time to illustrate a story authors spend pages telling.
