Knowledge and Abandonment of the Son

abandonmentSome food for thought!  Seamus, an ex-Moore College student has posted up a few good thoughts on some aspects of Christology.  These are a stimulating bunch of short readings, and quite helpful too!

Here’s a short excerpt:

“I want to affirm that the punishment Jesus endures involves separation in terms of fellowship and favour of the Father, but not ‘presence’, because God is omnipresent, neither ‘ontological’ separation – the Son cannot be separated from the Father because they are one Substance. Thus, when Jesus dies on the Cross, and dies in his human nature, the Divine Son experiences, mysteriously for the Living God, Death in his Human Nature for sin.”
