Christ is a perfect fusion but not confusion of two perfect nature's, one divine, the other human. What that means is that their relationship is in perfect harmony. Christ may have felt human needs and desires but He never did anything to counter His divine nature. The two were are in perfect harmony. Otherwise, Christ would not be perfect.
I personally still don't have the capacity to discuss this awesome subject well, but I have kept a certain CD in my stereo for going on two weeks now so that it plays in the rotation while I'm spring cleaning - Michael Card and John Michael Talbot, Brother to Brother. Their song The Final Word, encapsulates my understanding of Christ as God Incarnate:
You and me we use so very many clumsy words
The noise of what we often say is not worth being heard
When the Father's wisdom wanted to communicate His love
He spoke it in one final perfect Word
He spoke the Incarnation and so was born the Son
His final word was Jesus, He needed no other one
Spoke flesh and blood so He could bleed and make a way divine
And so was born the baby who would die to make it mine
And so the Light became alive and manna became manHe spoke the Incarnation and so was born the Son
Eternity stepped into time so we could understand
His final word was Jesus, He needed no other one
Spoke flesh and blood so He could bleed and make a way divine
And so was born the baby who would die to make it mine
You and me we use so very many clumsy words
The noise of what we often say is not worth being heard
When the Father's wisdom wanted to communicate His love
He spoke it in one final perfect Word.
~Michael Card
He is the Good Shepherd
He's laid down His life for His sheep
So out of many nations
He's gathered one fold and one faith
And He has built His church
On the rock foundation of faith
On apostles and prophets
Who shepherd the people in His place
There is one faith, one hope, one baptism
On God and Father of all
There is one church, one body, one life in the Spirit
Now given so freely to all
He gave to Simon Peter
And to all of the twelve
The keys of the Kingdom
So darkness would never prevail
But some of the shepherds
Have pastured themselves on their sheep
So He has come out against them
And scattered His people of faith
There is one faith, one hope, one baptism
On God and Father of all
There is one church, one body, one life in the Spirit
Now given so freely to all
In good pasture He will shepherd His people
On the mountain top He feeds His sheep
He will lead the poor and afflicted
To the prisoner He brings release
There is one faith, one hope, one baptism
On God and Father of all
There is one church, one body, one life in the Spirit
Now given so freely to all
But He'll not forsake His people
He'll claim His sheep for His own
He'll send out His word to the nations
Regather His people back home
For He is the Good Shepherd
He's laid down His life for His sheep
So out of many nations
He's gathered one fold and one faith
But the following verses trouble me: "When the Father's wisdom wanted to communicate His love, He spoke it in one final perfect Word. He spoke the Incarnation and so was born the Son"
The only-begotten Logos (Word) existed all along (John 1:1), but not in Flesh. The Father did not make Him.
So many a believer drifts into this false notion that God the Father "made" Jesus, because it is somehow easier to "understand," and relate to.
