The word “Christology” comes from two Greek words meaning “Christ / Messiah” and “word,” which combine to mean “the study of Christ.” Christology is the study of the Person and work of Jesus Christ. There are numerous important questions that Christology answers: one of them concerns the Angel of the LORD. T
he Hebrew term is Malach Yahweh. Malach can also be translated as “messenger”. An excellent study in the doctrine of our Saviour Jesus Christ. This should be one of the very first studies for the serious Christian. God said His name was Yahweh or the Tetragrammaton (four letters that express who God is)
Dr. Conway Campbell continues his Christology study of Jesus Christ. Today, he speaks to the incarnation of Christ from its meaning to its fruition by a virgin woman.
Christology Session 03: The Incarnation Of Christ and Virgin Birth
Incarnation is a term used by theologians to indicate that Jesus, the Son of God, took on human flesh. This is similar to the hypostatic union. The difference is that the hypostatic union explains how Jesus’ two natures are joined, and the Incarnation more specifically affirms His humanity.
The word incarnation means “the act of being made flesh.” It comes from the Latin version of John 1:14, which in English reads, “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” Because of the near-exclusive use of the Latin Vulgate in the church through the Middle Ages, the Latin term became standard.
Biblical support for Jesus’ humanity is extensive. The Gospels report Jesus’ human needs including sleep (Luke 8:23), food (Matthew 4:2; 21:18), and physical protection (Matthew 2:13-15; John 10:39). Other indications of His humanity are that He perspired (Luke 22:43-44) and bled (John 19:34). Jesus also expressed emotions including joy (John 15:11), sorrow (Matthew 26:37), and anger (Mark 3:5). During His life, Jesus referred to Himself as a man (John 8:40), and after His resurrection His humanity was still recognized (Acts 2:22). -Got Question (What Does Icarnation Mean)
