Ontology of Christ

In this episode of Heart of the Matter RADICALIZED, Shawn McCraney explores the “Ontology of Yeshua,” tracing the stages of Christ’s being—from His divine origin to His incarnation, deification, and reign as Spirit. Opening with reflections on life, death, and how God judges the heart over status or belief, Shawn contrasts cultural and religious perspectives to reveal the true measure of a soul: love, motive, and mercy.

He then dives into a theological breakdown of Christ’s nature: how the eternal God, a perfect plural of masculine and feminine traits, became flesh in Yeshua of Nazareth. Drawing from Scripture, Shawn outlines five phases of Christ’s existence—pre-incarnate Word, incarnate man, deified Son, exalted mediator, and reigning Spirit—emphasizing that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

The episode concludes with the reminder that Yeshua alone bridges humanity and the divine. His life, death, and resurrection fulfill the law, end all religion, and open the way to the Father—not through systems, but through spirit and truth.
