9. 18 This is how Jesus the Messiah was born.
His mother, Mary, was engaged to be
married to Joseph. But before the marriage
took place, while she was still a virgin, she
became pregnant through the power of the
Holy Spirit.
19 Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a
righteous man and did not want to disgrace
her publicly, so he decided to break the
engagement quietly.

10. 20 As he considered this, an angel of the
Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph,
son of David,” the angel said, “do not be
afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child
within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will have a son, and you are to
name him Jesus, for he will save his people
from their sins.”

11. 22 All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s
message through His prophet:
22 “Look! The virgin will conceive a child!
She will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel, which
means ‘God is with us.’”

12. 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a
sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to
a son, and will call him Immanuel.

14. There was a growing air of
expectancy that the only hope
they had left was the coming at last
of the promised Messiah.

15. 14 But when the set time had fully come,
God sent his Son, born of a woman,
born under the law,

Incarnation

17. The Christian Doctrine of Incarnation
is one of the two central doctrines which
set out the unique features of Christian
faith in God. It is therefore not only
necessary in order to properly observe
Christmas, but also to preserve the
purity of sound doctrine.

18. INCARNATION
Latin: In Carne
Greek: En Sarki
“Becoming in flesh”

19. 14 The Word became flesh and made his
dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,
the glory of the one and only Son, who
came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

20. The “FLESH” signifies, not a part of the
body, nor the whole body only, but the
whole human nature:
• True body
• Reasonable Soul
• Denote the Frailty of it
• Being Encompassed with Infirmities
• Though not Sinful

21. INCARNATION
Christ remained what he was,
and became what he was not.

23. CHALCEDON CREED
We all with one voice confess our
Lord Jesus Christ to be one and
the same Son, perfect in divinity and
humanity, truly God and truly human,
consisting of a rational soul and a body, being
of one substance with the Father in relation
to His divinity, and being of one substance
with us in relation to his humanity, and is like
us in all things apart from sin.

25. INCARNATION is the foundation of
the virtue and efficacy of all Christ's
works and actions, as Mediator.

26. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is
unable to empathize with our weaknesses,
but we have one who has been tempted in
every way, just as we are--yet he did not sin.

27. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator
also between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus

28. “The Son of God
became a man
to enable men
to become
sons of God.”

30. God

31. 1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors
through the prophets at many times and in
various ways, 2 but in these last days he has
spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed
heir of all things, and through whom also he
made the universe.

32. JESUS CHRIST in His
INCARNATION was the greatest
manifestation of God to humanity.

33. God

34. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but
that he loved us and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our sins.

35. JESUS CHRIST in His
INCARNATION reveals God’s deep
desire and plan to establish and
restore our relationship with Him.

36. God

37. 17 For this reason he had to be made like
them, fully human in every way, in order that
he might become a merciful and faithful high
priest in service to God, and that he might
make atonement for the sins of the people.

38. JESUS CHRIST in His
INCARNATION fulfills the promise of
God’s plan of redemption for all
mankind.

40. 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4 and assembling all the chief priests and
scribes of the people, he inquired of them
where the Christ was to be born.
5 They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for
so it is written by the prophet:
6 "'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of
Judah, are by no means least among the
rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a
ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'"

42. Christmas Response

43. Jesus’ People

44. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my
sheep and my sheep know me—

45. Jesus’ Plans

46. 15 … I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 I have other sheep that are not of this
sheep pen. I must bring them also.

47. Jesus’ Purpose

48. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down
of my own accord. I have authority to lay it
down and authority to take it up again. This
command I received from my Father.”

50. JESUS CHRIST’ INCARNATION
is God’s grace reaching downward to
His people expressed in His promises,
revealed in the Scripture and
embodied in Jesus Christ.
God’s love in action
dwelling with us.
