    The theme in John’s Gospel, Christology from Above is the study of Jesus Christ. The theme explores Jesus Christ and tries to understand who He is. Also the gospel of John is interested in Jesus’s identity and mainly who He is. The theme of Christology from Above stresses three important things about Jesus including, Jesus’ heavenly origins, His identity as the Son of God, and His preexistence as the Word of God. One quote from John’s Gospel that relates to this theme is, "Jesus said to her, ‘Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father: but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God."

    small businesses suffer, many corporate companies and major financing companies are enjoying the joy ride of increasing profits (The Price of Inequality, 469-70).

    “Christian thinking about Jesus developed further after the writing of the New Testament and culminated in creedal statements” (Powell, 2008, p. 318). When processing the incarnation, many wonder how much of Jesus is human, and how much of Him is divine? After many attempts of trying to theorize the answer, a solution came from a letter written in 382 A. D. by a council of Bishops. They affirmed that Jesus Christ “flesh was not soulless nor mindless nor imperfect” in addition, “He became…

    The development of Christology in the patristic period of Christianity was formed out of two main arguments, the logos’ relation with God and the logos’ relation with the human Jesus. It was of agreement that Jesus the Christ was on earth and that he was the logos, i.e. “Word of God” or “Son of God”. Two orators in particular drew the proverbial line in the sand between homoousios and homoiousios, of the same and of similar substance as the Father. This division was later coined the Arian…

    Many argue over just how relevant this statement is, and how literal to take the scriptures that speak of Jesus as the Son of God while he was on earth and made of flesh. High Christology views Jesus as God’s son which make him different that any other human for, Jesus took on human form, but did not lose his relationship as son of God, nor did he lose his divinity. He was set apart and chosen. The resurrection shows that God himself views him different than any other human form, “For God so…
