As I have been preparing for our new teaching series for Easter I have been stretched in my understanding and application of the doctrine of the Incarnation. I have always been intrigued by the meaning and implications of the Incarnation.
In the Incarnation we find a solid theological foundation for the Gospel and the hope the Gospel brings. Our study of the Incarnation will bring us to the understanding of the amazing sacrifice that Jesus made in taking on our form and becoming like us. In this move He became our perfect High Priest who could understand our frailty and He became the one that would accomplish what we could not do for ourselves.
Jesus also set the pace for what it means to contextualize the truth of the Gospel into the lives of those that He walked among, Through this He shows us how we need to live life as His representatives. We must look at the life of Christ as an example of how to live and the Gospels become our primer on how to live life well.
