Divinity & humanity of Jesus

We had a special joint class of all TCBC adult classes. Ryan Klassen, theology PhD student and Admissions Counsellor at Tyndale Seminary, spoke on how we knew Jesus to be divine and human and why that is significant. We read together again the Apostles Creed which affirmed both Jesus' divinity and humanity. The early creeds were a response to heresies, or incorrect beliefs, succinctly summarizing our beliefs. Heresies regarding Jesus may invariably be categorized as either denying His humanity or His divinity. Our modern church is very knowledgeable about the Bible and Christ yet we are very similar to the secular society we exist in. Ryan challenged us that this is perhaps a sign that the modern church doesn't understand the humanity of Jesus enough. If we did, we would understand how Jesus as a human being would respond to our world.

Ryan had an opportunity before and after class to discuss opportunities at Tyndale. There was apparently some interest from the congregation in the new B.Ed. program as this would be an alternative to existing, crowded teacher's colleges. Thanks again to Ryan for joining us and all the best to him in his future ministries.
