Incarnation

John 1

God’s mission was to save us for eternity and to show us how to live. The Incarnation (the Son of God coming to us “in the flesh”) means that God, in the form of human baby, entered into our world to identify with our situation, to experience our suffering, and to suffer for our salvation. We can never claim that God doesn’t understand us because God became human and experienced what we experience. Refusing to stand aloof or apart from us, the Lord entered fully into our lives (Hebrews 2:14-18). As one of us, yet as one who is also fully divine, He was able to pay the full price for our sin, thus opening the way to eternal life. But He is also able to show how to live in surrender and obedience to God (John 14:12-14).

“God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
