Mighty God

Kelli Baker

Advent Series 2023

Day Fourteen

Sit with the idea that Jesus was both man and God. Meditate on how Jesus as Mighty God humbled himself to the point of servitude. How does this reality change your idea of what it means to be like Jesus? As a servant, how can you reflect God’s glory to a hurting world?

Jesus is Mighty God because of his equality with the persons of the Trinity. God exists as the Trinity which is equally the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As we learned this week, Jesus has been since the beginning of time. He was not created, he existed with the Father at the conception of the world. Jesus was not made manifest until he came through a virgin birth, however, he still remained with the Father.

In full deity, our Mighty God humbled himself and took the form of a man. Jesus emptied himself and put on the identity of man so he could relate to all that we as humans go through. Only a Savior who has been there and done that is great enough to be Mighty God.

As part of the Trinity, Jesus’ role from the beginning was one that would bring the Father’s children back to him. No other being can do such a thing.

Especially when we have experienced suffering and pain in our own life can we be a reflection of God’s glory to the world. Ask God to reveal to whom he wants you to reflect his glory.

Prayer

Dear Lord, thank you for Jesus’ humility. May we look to Jesus as our example as we serve those around us. Amen.
