Contains 100% Man AND 100% God

Today, I want you to do a little experiement. It's going to take 2 half full glass of water, a spoon full of sugar, and a spoon full of salt. First take the salt and mix it into one of the glasses of water. Make sure to stir it all the way in. Next take the sugar and stir that into the other glass of water. Make sure it's all mixed together. Now, pour both glasses of water into the same glass. It probably doesn't taste very good, but it's now fully salt water, and fully sugar water. it's 100% both.

O.K., now for the real fun. See if you can unmix the water from the salt from the sugar, so you have all three ingretients back to being separate. It's hard right? It's almost impossible. This is a metaphor, an allegory, it's something easy to understand, to help you understand something a lot harder.


This expierment is a metaphor for Jesus Christ. It's to help you understand how Jesus is fully, 100% God and yet fully, 100% human. He is divine, He has all of God's power (cause He is God). He preformed miracles. He was also fully human. He got hungry and thirsty, He felt pain and even had emotions. Jr. High students are welcome to join us as we look more at how Jesus was fully God AND fully man, what His attitude was, and what that means for us as we live our daily lives.
