The Incarnation: What is it?

• Latin: “in the flesh” - in bodily form
  • Used almost exclusively since the invention of the word to describe God becoming human: Jesus the Christ.

What does the Incarnation reveal about GOD?

The Incarnation Reveals Who God Is
“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” (John 1:14)

• God is not distant or abstract—He is personal and relational.
• God speaks in a language we can see, hear, and touch.
• God’s character is revealed as a man: grace, truth, compassion, holiness.
• Illustration idea: God didn’t send a sign or a message—He came Himself.
