St John’s Diamond Creek Talks St John’s Diamond Creek

We’ve covered the first few lines of the Apostles’ Creed already – that God the father is almighty, creator of heaven and earth; and that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully Human. Today, we’re looking at the practicality of what Jesus did in his time on earth.

There’s no mucking about today; it’s a big topic: How can Jesus be fully God and fully Human- and why does it matter?
We’re spending this term looking through the Apostles' Creed, line by line, in a series we’re calling “I Believe” – a line repeated throughout the Creed.
Today “I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary”

How would you summarise the beliefs Christians hold? Since the second century, the best summary has been found in the Apostles’ Creed – a punchy statement of faith containing the foundational beliefs Christians across the world agree on.

Casper, Slimer, Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense- ghosts appear throughout pop culture and we generally accept some rules around ghosts. They can be seen and heard, but usually can’t interact with physical objects, and definitely can’t eat or drink.
The idea of Ghosts goes back a long way into human history though, and in today’s passage we see the risen Jesus working to convince his disciples that he isn’t a ghost, but a fully resurrected body.

Diving into a superhero movie these days can feel disorientating. You might not have read issue 486 of The Amazing Spiderman from 1982, and so are missing some important context for the new movie! Fortunately, your nerdy friend can explain things to you as you go – filling in details and throwbacks that were, at the time, foreshadowing things that are happening now.
Our passage today isn’t exactly like that, but what we do see is the risen Jesus joining dots from right throughout the Old Testament, pointing all the way through generations upon generations to what is happening right there in the 1st century- Jesus’ resurrection and the victory over death that’s just been won.
