The Paradoxical Person


God … But Christ … And Yet He …
Is eternal (Psa 90:2; Isa 43:10) Was born (Matt 1:18) Always existed (John 8:58; Col 1:17)
Is immutable (Psa 102:26-27) Grew (Luke 2:40, 52) Is also immutable (Heb 1:10-12)
Is omnipresent (Psa 139:7-10) Was one place at a time (John 11:21, 32) Could act from afar (John 4:46-54)
Knows all things (Isa 41:22-23) Did not know the day or hour (Mark 13:32) Knew all things (John 16:30; 21:17)
Is incorporeal (John 4:24) Has a body (John 2:21; Col 2:9) Cannot be seen (1 Tim 6:16)
Is not a man (Num 23:19) Is a man (1 Tim 2:5) Is also God (John 20:28)
Cannot be tempted (Jas 1:13) Was tempted (Heb 4:15) Could not sin (John 5:19)
Does not get tired (Isa 40:28) Got tired (John 4:6) Did all God’s will (John 17:4)
Cannot die (1 Tim 1:17) Died (Phil 2:8) Could not have his life taken (John 10:18)
