Summary:

1. Jesus had a true human nature that was perfectly united with His divine nature.
2. Docetism saidt that Jesus did not have a real physical body.
   
3. The monophysite heresy invovles the deification of the human nature by which His humanity is eclipsed by His deity.
4. Christ's humanity is the basis of His identification with us.
5. Jesus took our sins upon Himself and imparts His righteousness to us.
6. Jesus' human nature had the limitations of normal humanity except that He was without sin.
