The Bible affirms that Jesus is fully God and fully man, a unique union evident in His earthly experiences, such as thirst.
In the sermon, it is emphasized that Jesus was not a divine man or a human God, but rather the God-man, perfectly united in one person. The scriptures, such as Hebrews 2:16, highlight that Jesus was made like His brethren in all things, sharing in human experiences. This reality of His dual nature is crucial for our understanding of redemption, as He had to be fully human to represent humanity and fully divine to secure our salvation. His cry of 'I thirst' exemplifies this truth, showcasing profound humility and the genuine human experience of need, while also signaling His role as the eternal Son of God.
