Description
  • Moore College Annual Lectures 1979: The Doctrine of God in Holy Scripture, Lecture 4 Knox speaks on the divinity of Jesus. Jesus’ personal testimony and ministry reveal His awareness of divinity, showing that in Him God was present with His people. The Incarnation marked a change in God’s relationship with humanity, for Jesus was fully God and fully human. As such, He is both Redeemer and the model for how life should be lived. Knox highlights two particular examples: Jesus’ rejection of material-mindedness and His life of service toward others. Above all, Jesus’ ultimate example is His faithfulness to God, expressed through unwavering belief in God’s promises and through perfect obedience, even at the Cross. At Calvary, Christ’s obedience to the Father secured salvation for sinners: atoning for sin, bearing humanity’s penalty, fulfilling human obligation, and defeating our enemy. In His obedience, Christ accomplished what humanity never could. The forgiveness He achieved is limitless in its provision. Knox distinguishes between Christ’s reception of the Kingdom at His Resurrection and Ascension, and the final consummation at the day of judgment. In His exaltation, Jesus fulfils the original purpose of humanity to rule with dominion. Salvation comes through acknowledging Christ’s dominion.
