Why must the Redeemer be truly God?
That because of
his divine nature his obedience and suffering would
be perfect and
effective; and also that he would be able to bear the
righteous anger of
God against sin and yet overcome death.
Ngaue 2:24 (Uesi)
ʻA ia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he veteange ʻo e
mamahi ʻo e mate: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa taʻofi ʻaki ia.
(Molitoni)
Pea ne vete ‘e he ‘Otua hono kafai ‘e mate, ‘o toe
fokotu‘u ia: kae fēfē, he na‘e ‘ikai lava ke mapuke ai ia.
Acts 2:24
God raised him up,
loosing the pangs of death, because it was not
possible for him
to be held by it.
Commentary
- LEO SCHUSTER
We often
like to focus on the human aspects of Jesus, and it's important to remember
that Jesus was fully human. But he was also fully God. What does it mean that
Jesus was fully God? And why is it so important that he, as our Redeemer, be
truly God? The apostle John opens his Gospel by declaring that Jesus is the eternal
God in flesh. He explains: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God....The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and
we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace
and truth" ( 1:1, 14). In his letter to the Colossians the apostle Paul
wrote, "For in him the whole
fullness of deity dwells bodily" (Col. 2:9).
