Jonathan Edwards joins us today — well, his words do — to help us see why Jesus had to take on human flesh.
As we wrap up our Incarnation focus for week one, we’re looking at the purpose behind Christ becoming fully God and fully man, and why redemption demanded that He obey and suffer as a human in order to fulfill the law.
Edwards gives three powerful reasons why Jesus couldn’t save us as “only God,” couldn’t come as an angel, and why the Incarnation is actually the greatest event in the history of the world.
Today we explore:
✨ Why the divine nature alone couldn’t suffer or obey
✨ Why the law had to be fulfilled by the same nature that failed
✨ Why the punishment for sin required a human substitute
✨ Why God chose the same world where we fell to be the world where redemption unfolded
This is such a rich reminder that Christmas is not just about a baby in a manger — it’s about the perfect obedience, the perfect sacrifice, and the perfect Savior who fulfilled the law on our behalf.
Tomorrow: Matthew Henry’s 42 promises that belong to every believer in Christ.
