Foundations of Faith and Mission

A Roundtable Discussion Series

Foundations Session 3: Who Is Jesus Christ?

Who exactly is Jesus, and why is his identity vital for us today? We’ll discuss Jesus’ uniqueness as the God-man and what it means for the world. 

Review

Here, the focus is on Christology, exploring the mystery of Christ’s incarnation and dual natures. It also challenges forms of over-contextualized approached, like Insider Movements, which risk compromising Christ’s identity.

Discussion Questions

  • How does Jesus’ identity inform our understanding of the Great Commission? 
  • How should we respond to those who say Jesus was merely a great, moral teacher? 
  • Did the incarnation involve a change in the divine nature of Christ? 
  • Why was it necessary for Jesus to become man?
