Summary

During today’s episode of Back Porch Theology we’re stepping into new theological territory after spending the last 8 weeks in our “Wild About Jesus” series where we explored His perfectly simultaneous divine and human nature – otherwise known as the hypostatic union – His historicity, His early life, His empathy, His atoning death and His absolute superiority as the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. Focusing on who Jesus is – shoring up the cornerstone of our orthodoxy, if you will – compelled us to ask ourselves the question posed by one of my favorite modern thinkers and theologians, Francis Schaeffer: How Should We Then Live? Because what we believe to be true about our Redeemer can’t simply recline in our minds as cognitive, spiritual information but must generate a Christophormic, Jesus-shaped, response to the world around us! Our sociology should reflect our theology! Which is why we’re going to spend some time in Acts - following the progression of those first Christ-followers who went from walking along beside incarnate Jesus – surely accumulating lots of information about Him along the way - to changing the course of history with the radical message of God’s unconditional love after witnessing that very first Easter. We’re about to put some serious skin in the game, y’all, so please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you’re driving or organizing your junk drawer, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!

1:34.0	after spending the last eight weeks in our wild about Jesus series. We've spent eight weeks
1:40.9	exploring the simultaneous divine and human nature of Jesus. Otherwise known as the Hypostatic
1:47.9	Union. We've talked about his historicity, the fact that he was a proven historical character,
1:53.1	his early life, his empathy, his atoning death that he paid the price for our sin that we couldn't
1:59.8	afford. We've talked about Jesus absolute superiority as the king of all kings and Lord of all
2:06.5	lords. And focusing on who Jesus is, we feel like we kind of short up the cornerstone of our
2:12.0	orthodoxy in the last two months. Also compelled Ali and I to ask ourselves the question that was
