Christology 12: God Grew Up: The Real Humanity of Christ

In "Christology Part 12," Pastor Robert McNutt explores the true humanity of Jesus Christ through the "period of manifestation," following last week's focus on the "period of preparation." Drawing primarily from Luke 1–2, the sermon emphasizes that Jesus was fully human, conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and born through natural means, without sin. Pastor McNutt stresses that sin is not essential to humanity and uses Christ's sinless birth and upbringing to establish this. The teaching traces Jesus' growth from infancy to manhood, including His circumcision, nursing, learning, emotional development, and relational dynamics, highlighting that He lived an ordinary human life in every respect, yet without sin. The sermon closes with powerful applications: wonder at Christ's love, gratitude for the solid foundation of our salvation, and a call to both young and old to trust in Jesus, whose perfect obedience covers our failures and secures our forgiveness.
