An angry mob could not keep Jesus down. Death itself, could not conquer the Divine Human. On Easter Day, God and Man became one being as Jesus rose from the grave.
This is a very difficult idea to believe in. I know many people who respect Jesus as a prophet, and a teacher; and who follow His teachings. But they find it too difficult to believe that Jesus was the Divine Human and that Jesus rose from the grave.
God became a human when Jesus was born. And all through Jesus’ life, God and human came closer and closer. It wasn’t until the final temptation on the cross and the death of Jesus, that God and Human became one Being. Now God can come close to each one of us because He is Human like we are. Jesus rose body and soul, like no human can do. This means that God came down to the physical level, and now God is a physical presence with everyone.
God is now no longer a mystery. We can understand God by looking at Jesus. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). God came to earth to bring His presence to humans in a way that humans could understand God. In the New testament, we have stories of Jesus, and by reading them, we can learn about God. With the full union of God and Man in the risen Jesus Christ, we now know God and God can come to us wherever we are, however we feel. For God is a human.
