Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the World are clearly seen. . . " (Romans 1:20).

Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ ''But when the fulness of the was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, …" (Galatians 4:4, 5).
Jesus™  3) HE CAME TO REDEEM MAN  The prophets spoke of the Messiah who would come to deliver the people from their sins. Perhaps the classic prophecy is (Isaiah 53).  Since the people needed a deliverer from the guilt and penalty of sin, the intent of the Incarnation was to provide that Deliverer.

Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ “…that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” (Hebrews 2:14).
Jesus™  4) HE CAME TO RESTRAIN SATAN  But thanks be to God for the Incarnation of His Son. By the coming of Jesus Christ into the world, through His death and resurrection, He wrested from Satan the power of death.  The coming of the Savior rendered death harmless, and the "sting" of it is gone (I Corinthians 15:55). Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ “…that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” (Hebrews 2:14).
Jesus™  4) HE CAME TO RESTRAIN SATAN  Death once held man in the vise of hopeless doom, but now Satan is defeated. "I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death" (Revelation 1:18). “Oh judgment, because the prince of this world is judged" (John 16:11).

Jesus™  5) HE CAME TO RESCUE THE WHOLE CREATION  Man was higher than all other created beings in the earth, and other creatures were subject to him.  However, after the fall this condition changed. Now if man is to have dominion over the beasts, he must first capture them at the risk of his own life, and then imprison them until they are tamed. All of this resulted from the fall. Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ "all things were made by Him" (John 1:3).
Jesus™  5) HE CAME TO RESCUE THE WHOLE CREATION But the question is, Will God restore again to man the dominion which he lost through the fall? Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ "all things were made by Him" (John 1:3).
Jesus™  5) HE CAME TO RESCUE THE WHOLE CREATION ''The wolf also shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cocatrice's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11:6-9). Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ "all things were made by Him" (John 1:3).
Jesus™  5) HE CAME TO RESCUE THE WHOLE CREATION  To remove the curse and rescue God's creation is one of the purposes of the Incarnation. When Christ comes back to reign and … “…the government shall be upon His shoulder…" (Isaiah 9:6) Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ "all things were made by Him" (John 1:3).
Jesus™  5) HE CAME TO RESCUE THE WHOLE CREATION  If it were not so, then all of animated nature would remain spoiled by Satan.  But God has said, “…in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground:…" (Hosea 2:18). Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ "all things were made by Him" (John 1:3).
Jesus™  5) HE CAME TO RESCUE THE WHOLE CREATION Yes, God will…  “…gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth, even in Him'' (Ephesians 1:10). At that day our blessed Lord will…  “…reconcile all things unto Himself; …” (Colossians 1:20). Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ "all things were made by Him" (John 1:3).
Jesus™  5) HE CAME TO RESCUE THE WHOLE CREATION  The Apostle Paul writes, " For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first- fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Romans 8:19-23). Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ "all things were made by Him" (John 1:3).

(Romans 10:26).
Jesus™  6) HE CAME TO RESTORE ISRAEL But By her fall the whole world was blessed with the message of salvation.  ''Therefore say I unto you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof" (Matthew 21:43). Reason for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ ''And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.'' (Romans 10:26).

Jesus™  The Virgin Birth
Jesus™  His Virgin Birth Biblical Evidence & The Theological Significance
Jesus™ The Virgin Birth We guess the virgin birth is one of the most debated and controversial event of Jesus’ life, through which Christ took on the human form.
Jesus™ The Virgin Birth The doctrine of the virgin birth is based upon just two explicit biblical references – Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38.
Jesus™ The Virgin Birth There is also prophecy in Isaiah 7:14 from which cited by Matthew 1:23. but even when these passages are taken into consideration, the number of relevant references is quite few.
Jesus™ The Virgin Birth There are disagreements as to the importance of the virgin birth, even among those who insist that belief in the doctrine must be maintained.
Jesus™ The Virgin Birth On one level of course, the virgin birth is important simply because we are told that it occurred. If the Bible tells us that it happened, it is important to believe that it did.
Jesus™
Jesus™ The Virgin Birth 1. If Jesus had been simply the product of a normal sexual union of man and woman, he would have been only a human being, not a God-man. Virgin birth symbolized the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
Jesus™ The Virgin Birth 2. If He had possessed both that which the mother contributes and what that father ordinarily contributes, he would have had a depraved and hence sinful nature, like the rest of us.
Jesus™ The Virgin Birth 3. Virgin birth has a great value in terms of symbolizing the reality of the incarnation. It is an evidential factor in much the same way that the other miracles and particularly the resurrection function to certify the supernaturalness of Christ.
Jesus™  His Nature His Human Nature & Divine Nature
Jesus™  His Human Nature Reveled when He incarnated on this world
Jesus™ His closest disciples, who knew his humanity full well, worshiped him as God ( Matthew 28:17 ), but the first generation of Christians started from a different place. They began with him as God, and tended to struggle with the fullness of his humanness. David Mathis
Jesus™ JESUS Became Human, All the Way Down •John 1:14 •1 John 4:2 •2 John 7 •Luke 2:7 •Luke 2:40, 52 •John 4:6 •John 19:28 •Matthew 4:2 •Mathew 4:11 •Luke 23:26 •Luke 23:46 •Luke 24:39 •John 20:20, 27 Body • Matthew 8:10 • Matthew 26:38 • John 11:33_35 • John 12:27 • John 13:21 • Hebrew 5:7 Heart • Luke 2:52 • John 21:17 Mind •John 6:38 •Matthew 26:39 •1 Timothy 2:5 Will
Jesus™ He grew tired • Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by the trip, sat down by the well. It was about noon. John 4:6 He got thirsty • Jesus knew that by now everything had been completed; and in order to make the scripture come true, he said, "I am thirsty."John 19:28 He got hungry • After spending forty days and nights without food, Jesus was hungry. Matthew 4:2 He became physically weak • The soldiers led Jesus away, and as they were going, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon who was coming into the city from the country. They seized him, put the cross on him, and made him carry it behind Jesus. Luke 23:26 He died • Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Father! In your hands I place my spirit!" He said this and died. Luke 23:46 JESUS Became Human, All the Way Down
Jesus™ Jesus clearly displays human emotions. • He says in Matthew 26:38 that his “soul is very sorrowful, even to death.” • ” In John 11:33–35, Jesus is “deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled,” and even weeps. • John 12:27 says, “Now is my soul troubled,” and in John 13:21, he is “troubled in his spirit.” JESUS Became Human, All the Way Down
Jesus™ Increased in wisdom •Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52) JESUS Became Human, All the Way Down Paradoxical as it is, the Scriptures plainly affirm that Jesus both knows all things as God and doesn’t know all things as man. For the unique, two- natured, singular person of Christ, this is no contradiction, but a peculiar glory of the God-man.
Jesus™ Jesus possessed the human will •“I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.” (John 6:38) •Jesus prays to the Father, “Not as I will, but as you will.” (Matthew 26:39) JESUS Became Human, All the Way Down
Jesus™  His Divine Nature JESUS CHRIST POSSESSED ALL THE DIVINE PREROGATIVES In this lesson I only considered His time when He incarnated on this world
Jesus™ Jesus shares the honor due to God •Commanded men to honor Him and serve Him – John 5:23 •Jesus Christ Accepted Worship – Matt. 14:33; 15:25 JESUS Divine nature when we was human
Jesus™ Jesus shares the works / actions of God •Forgives Sins – Luke 7:48; Mark 2:5; Matt. 9:1-3 JESUS Divine nature when we was human
Jesus™ Jesus Christ Is The Creator •Turning water into wine – John 2:1-11 •Feeding the five thousand – John 6:1-13 •Walking on the water – John 6:19 JESUS Divine nature when we was human
Jesus™ Jesus has the Power over •Disease (Luke 4:38-41) •Nature (John 2) •Demons (Luke 4:35, 36, 41) •Tempest (Matthew 8:23-27) •Death (John11) JESUS Divine nature when we was human

  • 51. Jesus™  His Virgin Birth Biblical Evidence & The Theological Significance
  • 52. Jesus™ The Virgin Birth We guess the virgin birth is one of the most debated and controversial event of Jesus’ life, through which Christ took on the human form.
  • 53. Jesus™ The Virgin Birth The doctrine of the virgin birth is based upon just two explicit biblical references – Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38.
  • 54. Jesus™ The Virgin Birth There is also prophecy in Isaiah 7:14 from which cited by Matthew 1:23. but even when these passages are taken into consideration, the number of relevant references is quite few.
  • 55. Jesus™ The Virgin Birth There are disagreements as to the importance of the virgin birth, even among those who insist that belief in the doctrine must be maintained.
  • 56. Jesus™ The Virgin Birth On one level of course, the virgin birth is important simply because we are told that it occurred. If the Bible tells us that it happened, it is important to believe that it did.
  • 58. Jesus™ The Virgin Birth 1. If Jesus had been simply the product of a normal sexual union of man and woman, he would have been only a human being, not a God-man. Virgin birth symbolized the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
  • 59. Jesus™ The Virgin Birth 2. If He had possessed both that which the mother contributes and what that father ordinarily contributes, he would have had a depraved and hence sinful nature, like the rest of us.
  • 60. Jesus™ The Virgin Birth 3. Virgin birth has a great value in terms of symbolizing the reality of the incarnation. It is an evidential factor in much the same way that the other miracles and particularly the resurrection function to certify the supernaturalness of Christ.

  • 63. Jesus™ His closest disciples, who knew his humanity full well, worshiped him as God ( Matthew 28:17 ), but the first generation of Christians started from a different place. They began with him as God, and tended to struggle with the fullness of his humanness. David Mathis

  • 67. Jesus™ Increased in wisdom •Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52) JESUS Became Human, All the Way Down Paradoxical as it is, the Scriptures plainly affirm that Jesus both knows all things as God and doesn’t know all things as man. For the unique, two- natured, singular person of Christ, this is no contradiction, but a peculiar glory of the God-man.
  • 68. Jesus™ Jesus possessed the human will •“I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.” (John 6:38) •Jesus prays to the Father, “Not as I will, but as you will.” (Matthew 26:39) JESUS Became Human, All the Way Down
