Abstract

Hypostatic is derived from the original language of Scripture (Heb. 1:3) which brought the essential person of Jesus in his human and divine natures. Hebrews describes Jesus as superior to all other beings and all other claims. The doctrine of the hypostatic union teaches that our Lord’s divine nature and His human nature were united forever. He is different from the rest of humanity in that He is God and sinless and his unique theanthropic person of the universe. Despite the various opposing objections that attempt to criticize or disprove Jesus Christ’s two natures (divine and human) his obedience to God’s will even to the point of death shows Jesus’ divinity and humanity working together in perfect harmony. The basic idea that Christ is hypostatically communicating with both divine and human energies is also experienced by believers when their humanity is energized by the Holy Spirit and able to speak to God. In conclusion, the explanation of the anthropic unity of the person of Jesus Christ is quite clear that Jesus has both a divine will and a human will. The union of Christ’s divine and human natures are related to His acts as an incarnate person through His experience as a result of his person of Christ.
