Why was the Word made flesh?
- God is in Heaven, we are on the Earth.
- Humanity has a sin problem (Romans 3:23).
- God provided the answer (Romans 5:8).
- Jesus came to bridge the gap between God’s Holiness and our sin.
How was the Word made flesh?
- The eternal God became part of Finite Creation.
- The Everlasting WORD became Temporal Flesh.
- He “pitched His tent” with us.
- Tabernacle—God’s Presence with His people.
- Jesus “emptied” Himself so we could be “filled” (Philippians 2:5-11).
Who is “the Word made flesh?”
- Even as a man, His divine glory shone through (I John 1:1).
- The only one of His kind.
- Only Begotten
- Full of grace and truth (John 14:16, Acts 4:12).
- God’s grace is freely extended to all, but His truth is we must receive His offer of salvation.
He became sin for us, so we could be made righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21)
- For Christians: O for grace to trust Him more
- For non-believers: Come every soul by sin oppressed...
