Excerpt from episode:
… “Jesus was fully God and fully man, without any one nature taking over the other. Like Superman, his divine nature was veiled for the most part by his human nature, and indeed even the colours that Superman wears – the iconic blue and red, hearken to the traditional icons of Jesus wearing blue and red, with blue symbolic of his divinity and red, his humanity! Further, Superman spends his early years in obscurity, to human parents where for many years of his childhood he grew up in relative unknown, despite his urgent mission. In like way, Jesus was born and raised in obscurity in the backwards towns of Bethlehem and Nazareth, where he too was unknown to the world around him as anyone but the son of the carpenter Joseph. Church fathers point out the early church had no issue believing Jesus was a man, it was his divinity that was in question, as it would be if anyone of us met Clark Kent on any average day!”
