The Word Became Flesh: Celebrating the Incarnation of Christ
Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins • Christmas Day Special
Show Summary
On this Christmas Day episode, we rejoice in the miracle of the Incarnation that the eternal Son of God took on human flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). Dave shares how the Incarnation reveals God’s presence (Immanuel), God’s grace (the humble obedience of Christ for our salvation), God’s truth (the Word made visible), and God’s glory (revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus). Take time today to worship, give thanks, and rejoice that the Savior King has come, and will come again.Scripture: John 1:14; Philippians 2:6–9; John 14:9Listen & Watch
Key Points
- Presence: Jesus “pitched His tent” among us — God is near and personal.
- Grace: The manger points to the cross where grace is poured out in full.
- Truth: In a world of confusion, Jesus is the truth made visible.
- Glory: In Christ we behold the redeeming glory of God — now and forever.
