Emptied: Who Can This Be? Episodic Study of the Character of Jesus - Book 1

by David Lee Tucker

This book is the result of the author's personal Bible Study. His approach is simple, he reads and studies the Bible to probe for answers to life’s questions, to hear God’s voice, and to come to know the Bible's author while relying on God's promise as written in the book of Hebrews to reward those who diligently seek Him.
For years after Tucker first committed to following Jesus, he believed the truth in the identity of Jesus being "Fully God and Fully Man" as one of the great unknowable and Holy spiritual mysteries - an incomprehensible paradox.
Yet, as he studied the life of Jesus in the Gospels, a distinction began to unfold. More and more of what he read and studied seemed to be Jesus operating as a man and relying on the Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit as His source of strength and wisdom - something like what Christ-followers are taught to do throughout the New Testament.
Tucker began to compile the evidence that has led him to the conclusion that Jesus, even as forever the eternal Son of God, while He walked this earth from birth, right up until when He breathed his last breath on the cross, chose to live his life while on earth fully as a man! Yet, even as a man, Jesus never stopped being a part of the Triune Godhead, the eternal Son of God.
This book is a compilation of the evince that supports a conclusion that meets his spiritual, relational, and intellectual satisfaction.
Recognizing that there have been centuries of studied debate resulting in an array of divergent opinions on this topic, Tucker humbly puts forth the evidence that leads to his conclusion of what it means that Jesus came in the flesh. He hopes that others will find it relevant while feeling strongly that however, a Christ-Follower comes out on this debate, it will have a dramatic impact on how a Believer lives out their life in Christ.
