The Incarnation and Redemption: Why Jesus Took on Flesh
Series: The Incarnation and the Christian Worldview
Show Summary
In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins continues our December series on The Incarnation and the Christian Worldview by considering how the incarnation of Jesus Christ makes redemption possible. Many people stop at the manger scene when they think of Christmas, but Scripture calls us to see the cradle in light of the cross, the empty tomb, and the return of Christ.
Dave walks through eight reflections on why the eternal Son took on flesh, why He had to be fully God and fully man, how His obedience under the law, His atoning death, and His victorious resurrection secure our redemption, and how this shapes the Christian life and our hope of final glory.
