Nature of Christ Norma Boeckler
I began the blog title "The Nature of Jesus Christ" and immediately found AI - and plenty about Norma's artwork. Here are a few of her artist works! I was stunned by the number and beauty of those covers and books - and I should know.
The Nature of Jesus Christ is a good indicator that America is falling fast into the abyss. People casually and loudly use the divine names, often without thinking (or on purpose), spitting out titles as if they make one noble, classy, witty, or startling, a good laugh-line or emphasis.
The absence alone should be cause to start using the English language again. After all, we have learned the worst for the last 20 years, the volume and toxicity increasing daily.
Start at Genesis 1:1 and then John 1:1
The only way to read or hear the Bible is through the unity of the divine and human natures of Jesus. He was in the beginning of Genesis
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
God commanded the Light before there were any stars, moons, or planets. The Word executed the command to bring forth light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
So, from the beginning, light and darkness were united in Son, and the Two Natures of Jesus were united, just as the Son showed His Natures to Moses when He displayed the Burning Bush, representing both Natures.
Gospel of John
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was
not anything made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Humanity - United with Divinity
The Humanity of Jesus is never separated from the Son of God, so we humans can appreciate that Jesus is there for us, asking forgiveness, understanding Him completely and knowing He is for us with blessings and prayers.
Therefore, the Son of God is present to give us forgiveness for our sins and faults. That forgiveness also blesses us by encouraging our nature to be more like Him, more kindly and thoughtful, generous and loving.
As Luther wrote, we cannot improve ourselves by getting even with others - it only makes matters worse. But we can offer kindness and generosity to those who feel slighted - to remove bad feelings instead of getting even.
