3 Genera

(专辑： Christ For You - 2021)

Examine it church
We learned that concerning the person of Christ
That Calvinist close
But Lutheran's know
That we get it right
Talking about how his attributes
Communicate with other attributes
I mean his divinity and his humanity
Let's just call it the three genera
Never catch me saying gang gang
But genus genera
Them Latin words
That simply means k-i-n-d
A sharing between
Christ's natures to person
First genus idiomaticum
Idioma just means "attribute"
The human nature
The divine nature
Both communicating contribution to
The One the Bible calls the Word
In possession of His two natures
Yes according to the divinity
He literally can be in two places
Both at the same time
The Son is considered descendent from David's line
According to human side
The night He was crucified
We can say God died

Who
Who do me say that I am (yea)
That they denying my unity
Who
Who do men and say that I am (yea)
That they got problems consuming me
Who
Who do men say that I am
Denying communication of my attributes
Who
Who do men say that I am
Determining what my body can and cannot do
Who

The second kind is maiestaticum
That's just talking bout His majesty
The communication of divinity
That's received by His humanity
This how His body and blood
That's present in bread and the wine
Brings forgiveness through human nature
Receiving communication from the divine
That's why we confess with the Scriptures
And don't have an issue with reading it right
The Supper He instituted on that night is forgiving our sins and bringing us life
So when He's present at my table
Bodily present at y'all's table
Body present at 1,000 tables
Omni present body, God is able
This is how Jesus the man can be talked about as one that's giving us life
Cause that ain't what human beings do right?
Unless we're talking about Christ
The emphasis of maiestaticum
Is what his divinity brings
To his human nature like divine power
His humanity only receives

Who
Who do me say that I am (yea)
That they denying my unity
Who
Who do men and say that I am (yea)
That they got problems consuming me
Who
Who do men say that I am
Denying communication of my attributes
Who
Who do men say that I am
Determining what my body can and cannot do
Who

We in the thick of Christology
The third is apotelesmaticum
Apotelesma is a work
And Jesus yeah He had a lot of them
Every work that the word does
Both natures right there cuzz
Cannot have one in heaven
One that made an exit
That's absurd cuzz
The blood of Jesus yeah it purifies
Purifies us from all sin
You can find that in first John
1 and 7 yea He's all in
The act of this purification is from His blood
And that's His human nature
But the power to forgive is from divine nature
Both of them present in the Savior
Both natures
Every action
Sorry Calvin
No fraction
When miracles happen
Then the hypostatic union is in action
Like Christ's passion (no lacking)
He is forever the Godman
Let that settle in your heart
Cannot sever Him apart
Like two separate people nah
With his work

Who
Who do me say that I am (yea)
That they denying my unity
Who
Who do men and say that I am (yea)
That they got problems consuming me
Who
Who do men say that I am
Denying communication of my attributes
Who
Who do men say that I am
Determining what my body can and cannot do
Who
