THE INCARNATION

John 1:14

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 

     

            The first five words (And The Word Became Flesh) are the part of the most incomprehensible statement. This is so incomprehensible that the infinite God be confined in the humanity of Jesus Christ, the Creator being one of the creation and the eternal God be part of time. These idea are so incomprehensible. After Apostle John introduced the Word who is the eternal and infinite God, he introduced the Word who became flesh. This not mean the Word ceased to be Word or ceased to be God after He became flesh but He continued to be who He is originally.

PRINCIPLES

1) Jesus Christ is fully God and fully Man 

   These how the Word 

• He is a creator who became one of the creation
• He is the eternal who lived in time
• He is the infinite who confined Himself to finite

2) Jesus Christ revealed His glory to man

• Christ's glory is divine glory (glory of only Son of the Father)
• Christ's glory is the glory of the Father (being one essence)

3) Jesus Christ provided salvation

• Full of Grace - God revealed the very grace of God by which man can be saved (You have been saved by grace....)
• Full of Truth - God revealed the very truth from God by which man can be saved (And the truth will set you free)

    salvation of man
