Aquinas on Mission, Incarnation, and the Hypostatic Union

Is the Incarnation a contradiction or a mystery? Many Christians know that Jesus is both God and man, but few can explain how that works without falling into error.

St. Thomas Aquinas provides the "grammar" we need to speak truly about Jesus Christ. In this video, we dive into:

[01:38] The Bridge to Christology: Why the connection between the Trinity and the Incarnation is vital for a coherent faith.

[02:21] The Mission of the Son: Why God didn't just send a message from a distance, but entered history personally.

[05:00] The Sender and the Sent: Why the Son and Spirit are "sent" in time, while the Father is not.

[08:46] Person vs. Nature: Defining the "Who" vs. the "What" to solve the supposed contradiction of the God-man.

[09:31] Real Humanity: Why it is essential that Jesus possesses a real human soul, intellect, and will.

[13:38] Common Errors: What the Incarnation is NOT—avoiding the traps of blending or dividing Christ.

[15:34] Mother of God: How the title Theotokos serves as a necessary safeguard for the unity of Christ.

[19:04] The Logic of Salvation: Why only a Savior who is truly God and truly man can bridge the gap between us and the Father.

[22:07] Deepen Your Study: Recommended questions and readings from Aquinas’s Summa Theologiae.
