The Meaning of Hypostatic Union in Christian Theology

What is this hypostatic union that Christian theologians talk about? • It starts with a question that led to many divisions in the early Church: • Was Jesus Christ God or man or both? • Christians believe that Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man, not half-God and half-man, and not just one or the other. • The term “hypostatic union” has been used to reconcile this paradox. • Hypostatic comes from the Greek word *hypostasis*, which means “person” or “substance.” • Union of course means “together as one.” • Hypostatic union, therefore, refers to the one substance of Jesus Christ: true God and true man. • In the Nicene Creed, this truth is expressed this way: “God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. ” • Jesus Christ was God incarnate and became man. • It is a great mystery and the central truth to our Christian faith. • SUBSCRIBE for more Catholic videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • CONNECT WITH THE RELIGION TEACHER: • -- Facebook: / thereligionteacher • -- X/Twitter: / religionteacher • -- Pinterest: / religionteacher • CONNECT WITH JARED: • -- Instagram: / jareddees • -- Twitter: / jareddees • -- LinkedIn: / jareddees • ARE YOU A RELIGIOUS EDUCATOR?
