Jesus’ was called the Messiah or “the anointed one” by his followers. “Christology,” taken from the Greek “Christos,” literally means the study of Christ. The foundation of Christianity is rooted in the belief that Jesus lived on earth in human form and died for our sins. Christians study the life of Jesus as a model or guide. In a sense, Christianity is a sect of Christology. As a Christian, a follower sees Jesus as divine.

Thompson offers a clear and more common definition of Christology. Christology entails a “struggle” or “contest” over the true meaning of the Bible. Christology and bibli

The final step in New Testament Christology was taken in the church of the Letter to the Hebrews and of the fourth evangelist. The author of Hebrews sets out to prove the finality of Christ’s revelation as son (1:1-4) and High Priest (5:5; 7:1-9:28). John’s writings are clearest in their ascription to Jesus of the name of the Logos and only God (John 1:1, 14, 18; 20:28). John’s indebtedness is evidently to the Old Testament and intertestamental wisdom tradition where “wisdom” and “word” (often linked to the Mosaic law) are rated as mediators in creation (Proverbs 8) and the preexistent revelation of God. John boldly claims both roles for Jesus of Nazareth (John 1:3; 18; 14:6, 9). He sets the earthly life of Jesus against the background of his eternal being as “one with the Father” and the visible glory of the unseen God, thus superseding the Torah of Moses (John 1:17) and the claims of the Roman emperor (John 20:28, “my Lord and my God”).

God the Father is always regarded as the fount of deity; Jesus is God’s Son in a unique sense but never confounded with him. Yet this uneasy correlation bequeathed a legacy that formed the substance of the christological debates. This seems to be the only possible truth in Christology. For how could a man perform miraculous acts or God suffer and die? There is viable proof that a human named Jesus actually lived around the time the Bible says he did. There is a record of a worldwide census that includes Joseph and Mary in it. Letters from an Emperor, accounts from an early historian, and even a book mention Christ, his persecution, and his death. These all prove that Jesus Christ actually lived at one time. It is a little harder to prove the deity of Jesus Christ. There are recorded accounts of some of the miracles he performed, but that hardly proves He is God. There are around 500 people who witnessed his life after death experience, many who wrote their observations down. That also does not provide hard evidence He is God. The only tangible proof that Christ is also of a heavenly nature must come from the individual’s heart. In order for a person to truly believe that Christ is their Savior, they have to believe that not only did he suffer as a man for them, but that e also has the power to redeem them from their sins. Therefore, they must acknowledge that he is fully both human and divine.

Perhaps the greatest mystery surrounding the life and death of Jesus was His resurrection followed by His presence among the Apostles and disciples. This aspect of Jesus’ life is a focal point in many of the Christological studies. It is with both the crucifixion and the resurrection that one understands the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ. This is called the hypostatic union.
