Dual Nature of Jesus

Growing up in the church I was taught that there are certain questions about the nature of God that cannot be understood. Since we are mere humans there is no point in questioning  these things because after all we cannot understand them. I have long had this idea imposed on me, yet reading works I feel like I can finally ask the questions that have been longing to be ask. For instance, the duel nature of Jesus Christ. That alone is enough to inspire months of thought. Thinking of the two natures of divinity and humanity and how they somehow are combined into one being without making some weird third nature between man and the divine is fascinating. 

This topic reminds me of an iconography lecture we had on campus last semester. One thing the artist/priest mentioned was the symbolism behind the colors of the clothing of Christ, as depicted in Orthodox iconography. He is often painted wearing a red tunic with a bluish cloak. The iconoghrapher stated that the red tunic represented the humanity of Christ being covered by the blue tunic of his divinity. This dialogue continues to discuss the different views of God based on the this manifestation to human flesh. I love the conclusion that was reached in the dialogue that no human weakness from the humanity of Christ could be attributed to his divine nature.    

P.S. I commented on Danielle's  wonderful blog.
