Summary

This morning, Jerry shared on the humanity of Christ, emphasizing its sacredness and significance for Christians. He began with a prayer, acknowledging our dependence on the Lord and the Holy Spirit for understanding. Jerry explained that Jesus is both the Son of God and the Son of Man, highlighting His relationship with God and humanity. He discussed how Christ, while retaining His deity, emptied Himself of His glory and attributes, living a life of total dependence on the Father and the Holy Spirit. This dependence is a model for Christians, who often struggle with independence. Jerry stressed that understanding Christ's perfect humanity is essential for living the Christian faith, as only He, the perfect man, can reconcile humanity to God. He reflected on the original purpose of humanity, created in God's image, and the tragic fall of Adam, which led to a fallen nature passed down through generations. Jerry concluded by affirming that through Christ, believers are made new creations, called to live out this new humanity, which is characterized by dependence on Christ rather than self-reliance. He encouraged the congregation to behold the perfect humanity of Christ and to recognize its transformative power in their lives.
