Jesus
As I learn more and more about Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection I cannot help but wonder more about whom he is as a person. Even more importantly, what he is. I realized that people have been contemplating the make up of Jesus ever since he came to be, so many years ago, and that as I sit and contemplate Jesus in my own life it is difficult for me to decide on the humanity and divinity of Christ. The controversy on whether Jesus was human or divine was still a large topic of discussion during the times when Scholars in Nicea, Alexandria, and Antioch were writing. There were two major schools of thought that represented each point of view. On one hand there was Antioch in Syria, and they believed in the full humanity of Jesus. On the other hand there was Nicea, who stressed the true divinity of Christ. Then in 451 the Council of Chalcedon met and tried to bring together both schools of thought. This then formed what we call the "High Descending" approach to Jesus' religious meaning. This "High Ascending" approach sits very well with me in my understanding of Jesus' meaning. I feel like Jesus was the incarnate of God's word and that he was a mixture of humanity and divinity.
