In order to understand Jesus as the Christ, one must think about many details ranging from the very nature of Jesus as God and man to his declaration of return in the future. . Bruce Ware expounds on eight of these topics in The Man Christ Jesus, providing the reader with theological concepts wrapped in common language and helpful analogies. Examining these eight points, chapter by chapter, will guide the reader to a deeper illumination concerning the state of Jesus as God and Christ – leading him to a greater source of awe and mystery for the unique purpose of salvation and worship. Therefore, Jesus Christ must first be understood as God and human – the God-man. The conception of Christ illustrates the very existence of Jesus as God and man. For through the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, Jesus came into the natural world. This completely unique event in history united the divine and human natures (Ware, 16). However, we must ask how the divine and human natures can coexist, if in fact a man is God. The answer is found in Philippians 2:5-8 which states: Have this mind among yourselves which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, although he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the image of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Paul declares that Jesus is God using the term morphē, to describe Christ's inner essence being the same as that of God. In fact, Paul states that Jesus possessed equality (isa) with God, showing that Jesus was God, since only God can be equal to himself (18). Paul then states that Jesus is in the middle of paper... it is the return of Jesus, to judge the living and the dead, receiving those who belong to him into heaven and rejecting those who are not into hell. (144). After reading and analyzing The Man Christ Jesus in depth, this author found himself thinking carefully about the concept of Christ's growing faith. As this author grows older and wiser, he often thinks about the trials of the God-man, wondering whether such suffering was realistic or anthropomorphic. Ware's logically coherent and rational argument for Christ's suffering and growth in obedience compels this author to reflect on his past and notice all the events that can be used by God in order to bring about his will in the present and the future. Nevertheless, the totality of these truths presented by Bruce Ware should enlighten any reader, and its applications should be applied by all for the greater glory of God..
