This is brilliant! As a young Catholic who's learning about the faith and hopeful for sharing it, this seromon is confidence building. I want to learn more about Jesus because of the concise greatness spoken by Bishop Barron here. Thank God! May Jesus bless him and you who is reading this 😊 Amen 🕊
"There's nothing I'd rather talk about than Jesus he's everything." I think the good number of videos about Jesus by Bishop Barron on this Channel itself is a perfect proof of that.
Thank you Bishop. In a world that can overwhelm us with the worst in humanity, you remind us of the divinity of humanity in the person of Jesus. May we all remember who Jesus is so that we can seek to rise above our own flawed human nature. May we always be better Christians today than we were yesterday.
For all the trads, I lean that way also, please note how important these comments are by Bishop Barron. There is no wiggle room here. Declaring the identity of Jesus like Bishop Barron, is traditional and extremely powerful. We move quickly away from a subjective truth to an objective truth. Something that makes post modernists very uneasy. Bishop Barron deserves respect for making this video.
Jeesus my Lord, my God, my all...How can I love thee as I ought....a line off a hymn I learnt at school, as a kid!!.....how else may we all be more inspired. Tq Bishop Barron....God bless you.😇🤗
I"ve never fearlessly hugged Our Lord before, but I did during this talk because He became very real for me. Took two archangels to pull me away from him.
Thank you Bishop Barron for talking about JESUS . Yes, JESUS is my Lord and my GOD. .JESUS is my master, JESUS is the way the truth and the life JESUS is my friend JESUS is my Shepherd, JESUS is my healer. JESUS is the son of GOD, and JESUS is my everything. Amen, Amen, Amen.
Recognizing the identity of Christ is essential for the patient mind and heart as a believer. Seek 2021 remarkably highlights the divinity of Christ as our savior.
Jesus is the synthesis of the human and the divine. He is God coming to save us. His salvific nature is the CRUX of our blessed lord Jesus .. not just the moral teaching 🙏🏻♥️
An extraordinary sermon that encourages me to seek a greater depth in my relationship and knowledge of our Lord so that I have something to offer to those who have yet to know Him. May I truly have the international confidence that you so succinctly mentioned that God yet may use me.
Yes, Bishop Barron, one of the passages that I love in attending mass is during offertory at the mixing of blood and water of Jesus Christ, saying, "by the mystery of this water and wine, may we come to share in the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ who humbled himself to share in our humanity". AMEN.
Beautifully, thoroughly, and as always, so eloquent, intellectual and very intelligibly expressed...!!! Let's also be remembering ALL THAT JESUS CHRIST "SAID", WAS BACKED UP TOTALLY BY "ACTIONS" OF JESUS CHRIST. (And the humour of your drawing the contrasts to your own sayings/writings in regard to your own authoritativeness and the "institutionalising" bit..😄..is not lost, dear Bishop Barron!!) Thank you, Your Grace, Bishop Robert Barron...above all, DEO Gratias!!!...'n GOD Bless!!!
Thank you, Bishop Barron. We need to decide in face of the greatest humanity and the greatest divinity. Such tension in such harmony!!! Love in Christ.
"... but I say ...". The person of Jesus - God - is who we need to have a personal relationship with. This is something we Catholics are doing better at but need to continue working on. A personal relationship with Jesus leads us to hearing and accepting His will in our lives.
Thank you for helping my Faith in Jesus just keep getting Stronger! Through solid Foundation in Scripture and the Word of God, carried on by the Tradition of the Church! Surviving over and over through the years despite what all the passing cultures try convince otherwise! Go SEEK 21!
With this presentation made by Bishop Robert barron inspired by holy sprit it makes a lot of sense and greater understanding of our loard's nature both human and divine that come together for salvation of mankind. Thanks your lordship your efforts make us understand.
Wow, just wow. This talk of Bishop Barron’s just explains everything I need to know about Jesus in order to follow Him in a truly more profound way. Thank you so much 🙏 May God bless and keep Bishop Barron always.
Again as I listen to you Bishop Barron,"Did not our hearts burn within us while (you) he talked to us on the road while he open to us the scriptures?" - Words of 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus
Thank you for sharing your beautiful homily and encouragement and insight and wisdom of Our Lord Jesus Christ in His divinity and humanity and the love He transmits to us in our lives! Amen 🙏
Bishop Barron you've helped to guide the day to day questions I have through my spiritual journey with Jesus. These videos are such a bad ass blessing to be able to watch! See, RUclips isn't ALL trash! Thanks so much for taking time out of your life to do these. They make a difference. ❤
I am not for sure how to explain things to most people. Yet listening and having a relaxed and excited feeling when he explains is a Undescribable feeling! I mean that in a good way.
I believe in Jesus Christ God from God Light from Light True God from true God Begotten not made Of one being with the Father Through him all things were made
"Begotten not made", revealed to us by His divine will and not created at a certain point in time; because English is not my first language sometimes in my mind I tend to say "God made man", but I really need to put a strong emphasis that He is God who assumed Body and Soul of humanity; Jesus is in every way like us except in sin and Divinity.
A good talk by Bishop Barron. He could have saved time by just plainly stating the dogma of the Hypostatic Union, which sadly, has been relegated to the cheap seats for the last several decades. Jesus is One Divine Person (not a human person) with two natures: His divine nature, which he possessed as the Second Divine Person of the Holy Trinity always; and His human nature, which He took on at the Incarnation, in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Once a Catholic has this dogma learned well, he can avoid a myriad of doctrinal, theological problems.
Our Father God blesses us with shepherds such as Bishop Barron; his sermons & youtube presentations are entrenched in his profound fear of the Lord. May God bless him abundantly for his ability to apply The Word to our daily lives ✝️🙏🏽😇👼🏽
Brilliant as always!! Thank you very much!! I want to share with a Spanish audience. Unfortunately the transcript translator feature is not on. Would it be at all possible to turn it on at the Word on Fire Institute? Thank you! 😊
How do you see Tolstoy and Wittgensten? They seemed to have benefited from Jesus as teacher at a time the Orthodox Church in Russia was corrupt and the Catholic Church in Germany was weak.
Superb sermon. Whereas in secular circles the divinity of Jesus is negated, in many church circles the humanity of Jesus is compromised. It is vital to see Jesus as God's representative to humanity ( If you've seen me you've seen the Father). However we must never lose cite of the reality that Jesus is man's representative to God the Father. Jesus us yours and mine perfect response to the Father. His "Not my will but yours be done" is echoed for us as us. Jesus's overcoming the devil in the wilderness is our defeat of the devil. Jesus' baptism is our baptism. Jesus' death on the cross is the death of the first Adam, our death. Jesus' resurrection and ascension are ours too. Jesus didn't merely die for us, He dies as us. Jesus' fully human life is our life. Read Paul, see it in Romans. So many Christians wondering weather they are good enough, holy enough to get to heaven! Wondering weather the Father really loves them, so insecure in all they are and do, in their real identity. The old Adam cannot participate in the tree of life but you are the new Adam IN CHRIST!. You are now totally freed. I am talking about the finished work if the cross. Don't deny the cross. You were there when they crucified the Lord. You were with Him on the cross. Your old, false self was being shed. You whose sins put Jesus on the cross, were also hanging with the Lord on that cross. WHAT PARADOX! Jesus took all your muck and mine and lifted us up with him and puts to death the old Adam in us and raises us up as the new Adam. We can put it this way, Jesus as our representative was completely resetting the humanity button, fully restoring, fully redeeming all humanity. There are those who realise this, both the full divinity and full humanity of Jesus and they are called believers. We who know the Lord, no Ge is the author and perfector of our faith and all the in-between as well. This is the vicarious humanity of Christ. He didn't just due for you He died as you. He also loved for you, as you. We see it in David defeating Goliath it wasn't a small man smiting a big man. It wasn't a victory for Himself, it was a victory for Israel. He fought as Israel and won the victory for Isreal. All Israel ot the benefit. So it is with us and Jesus. Jesus wins the victory FOR ALL HUMANITY. As He rises we all rise in His train. There are those who embrace this, we can call them believers and there are those who still don't know or accept this, most of humanity and they are not yet believers. God has reconciled them too but there are unaware and still live in their slavery, in their false identity. Preach the gospel my friends and let faith arise because faith comes from hearing. This is your co- ministry with Jesus Christ, bringing the objective reality of humanity's redemption into the subjective experience of all. Jesus is our ALL. HE IS OUR EVERYTHING!
"We might 'passover' that little statement." :-) Then: at 6:30... "You've heard it said... but I say..." - "He was claiming the authority of the One who spoke to Moses". It occurs to me that Matthew 5 is the fulfillment of Jeremiah 31:33 regarding the New Covenant. "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts." Starting with verse 17 about not coming to destroy the law but to fulfill it, He goes on to explain that all the Laws are first broken in one's HEART before they make it to actions. Examples: murder starts with anger, adultery starts with lust, loving your enemy is the key to "going the extra mile with them" and offering them your other cheek when they strike you on your right cheek". He certainly didn't annul the Law, He actually made it more personal, and in many ways harder to follow. People have said, "you aren't under the law any more... just follow Jesus." Sometimes I think it's easier just to offer a pigeon for a sin, than have to turn the Titanic of my Self-Will away from the iceberg of destruction, and "just Follow Jesus" because "Just following Jesus" gets you to the cross... That's not a very attractive destination for me, most days. Ultimately, His presence is the final destiny... but that's a hard sell to a culture that's addicted to comfort, safety, immediate gratification, escapism, and "self-fulfillment." But then... as Bishop Barron proclaims "In Christ our humanity is raised up, enhanced, rendered more beautiful and radiant by the presence of God." I LOVE THIS!
Bishop Baron is a holy man of God anointed by God to proclaim the Gospel. May the Lord keep you and bless you in your mission. I am so much less gifted than you in both knowledge and ability to speak but I am urged by God to tell you something that will hurt. In your interview with Ben Shapiro you failed to "proclaim the Gospel " adequately to Ben because Ben was indifferent to your proclamation. When he asked you 'how about me as a Jew who doesn't accept Jesus. Am I okay'. You answered Yes when you should have answered NO. You left him feeling that he could be saved without accepting Jesus. May the Lord give you grace to overcome what appears to be "fear of the Jews".
Not so! I explained to him the official teaching of the Church, enshrined in Lumen Gentium, 16. A Jew "can" be saved by the grace of Christ operating mysteriously within his own Jewish tradition. This is not to say that he will definitely be saved or that we should be indifferent to evangelizing him. But I was answering his question, "As a Jew, am I basically screwed?" in line with the doctrine of Vatican II.
Love your work Bobby . I would really love to know your thoughts about what your mum was saying, over lunch no less... " Bobby.....don't you think you are a little over exposed?" However I have a feeling - a strong one, that it is my own thoughts on this which are important. On another note...."when our God comes close, he does not overwhelm" . "On fire but not consumed". Brings me to my knees, as I taste the implications.
All glory and praise to you O Lord Jesus Christ!
❤Thank you Bishop❤Your understanding about Christ is excellent❤

Wow i m 59 years old. and it is only now due to Bishop Barron that i truelly understand my birth religion. thank you and God bless you.

@15:53: "as God comes close to a creature, the creature's beauty and integrity is enhanced". Heart-stopping.
I was struggling spiritually so deeply last night, I woke up and when I checked the phone this video was at first view. Thank you!!!
SAME
I really appreciate Bishop Barron. God bless Word on fire ministries.
Jesus is true God and true Man. I love you Jesus! God Bless you Bishop Barron! Amen
Thank you Bishop. In a world that can overwhelm us with the worst in humanity, you remind us of the divinity of humanity in the person of Jesus. May we all remember who Jesus is so that we can seek to rise above our own flawed human nature. May we always be better Christians today than we were yesterday.
Bp Barron’s word ‘theologic’ is one that I will use. As ever - thank you Bp Barron from the west of rural England.
Bishop Barron has a way of getting to the heart of the matter.
Wow it’s so cool. Jesus is FULLY God and FULLY man
For all the trads, I lean that way also, please note how important these comments are by Bishop Barron. There is no wiggle room here.

Bishop, thanks for this important compendium of Christ's dual nature. As a professor, I am encouraged to clarify my own role.
Bishop Barron is so captivating..

Nice one.👍🙏
Sehr gut
thank you
Fantastic insights! Thank you!
YEAAA BISHOP BARRON
¡Wow! ¡Impressive! Very clear Christology
Jesus Christ
I Love..this explanation
"Begotten not made", revealed to us by His divine will and not created at a certain point in time; because English is not my first language sometimes in my mind I tend to say "God made man", but I really need to put a strong emphasis that He is God who assumed Body and Soul of humanity; Jesus is in every way like us except in sin and Divinity.
I would like to know how to ask Bishop Barron´s opinion in the way Jesus´s identity is presented in the series ¨The Chosen¨
So sad I missed this. It would have been great to have been there.
A good talk by Bishop Barron. He could have saved time by just plainly stating the dogma of the Hypostatic Union, which sadly, has been relegated to the cheap seats for the last several decades.

Therefore, redemption includes the body as does resurrection. Do I have this right?
Levis Shalom
