You probably won’t talk about this, but it does matter, and you probably should.

Luke 1:26-38

And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.
— Luke 1:31-35

Verses 31-35 are cited through editorial clarification in the Formula of Concord, Epitome, Article 8: The Person of Christ, Affirmative Thesis 1 (FC, SD 8.5) as the most solid statement of the unity of the divine and human natures of Jesus, the unity of the Son of God and the Son of Man.

We seem to have forgotten the importance of Jesus being both fully God and fully human. It might seem like much, but not believing in the divinity of Jesus is not prevalent enough among some Christians in the United States that statisticians have measured it. One of the main points of Christianity, and the Lutheran expression in particular, is that only God can save us. If Jesus isn’t fully divine, then salvation is entirely dependent on human works. We have been down this road before, so maybe its worth reminding people about Jesus’ divinity.
