and Apollinarianism which asserted that Jesus was not fully human . 5. Restate the practical implications of the unity of Jesus’ divine and human nature, and the significance of Jesus’ humanity for us: Jesus, our high priest, can empathize with our needs and represent us before God. As our Second Adam, we will be conformed to his image in our future glorification with him. 6. Identify and biblically defend the concept of Jesus as the Baptized One who identified with the plight and peril of the sinners he came to save, as well as the concept of Jesus as the Proclaimer of the Kingdom of God – Jesus reasserting God’s right to rule over creation, showing through his person, miracles, healings, and exorcisms the signs of the Kingdom present in his own person on earth. 7. To analyze and unpack the idea of Jesus as the Suffering Servant of Yahweh, sketching his Messianic mission from the public announcement of his ministry, and the way in which Jesus revealed himself as the expected Servant of Yahweh through his proclamation of good news to the poor, his demonstration of justice among God’s people, and his vicarious sacrifice on behalf of God’s people as a “ransom for many.” 1. Articulate with Scripture and concrete examples the significance of the humiliation of Jesus Christ, that is, his descent in his divine person and glory to come to earth and die on our behalf. 2. Illustrate and state the major points of Jesus’ humiliation in his Incarnation and in his life and ministry. 3. Elaborate with Scripture and clear reasons how this humiliation of Jesus is specifically revealed in his death. 4. Expand upon some of the key historical perspectives on Jesus’ death and the way in which these dimensions enable us to understand the blessing our Lord’s death was for humankind. 5. These include the view of his death as a ransom for us, as a propitiation for our sins, as a substitutionary sacrifice in our place, as a victory over the devil and death itself, and as a reconciliation between God and humankind.
