The Incarnation of Christ is a critical subject for us to understand. Though this falls into the category of understanding what is ultimately incomprehensible, the Bible does overwhelmingly and consistently teach the Trinity of God and the incarnation of the Son of God and the man Jesus. In an attempt to be understandable, the risk is present to confuse or mislead. But this dynamic does not excuse us as Bible interpreters from exploring this mysterious relationship between the human (the carnal) and the divine (the Son of God) who "Tabernacled" together in order that the designs of the latter might be accomplished and the weaknesses of the former might be overcome.
The message of how God demonstrated His justice and His love are at the center of the study. And, the result of our discovery ignites our desire and ability to broadcast the message of the Gospel clearly to those for whom Christ died. May we never take the broad way of safety in cloudy and over simplistic definitions of the nature of Jesus the Christ. Come with us today as we take the less traveled road of understanding the uniqueness and magnificence of our Lord.
