The incarnation of Jesus Christ sets the stage for chaplain mini.docx
1. The incarnation of Jesus Christ sets the stage for chaplain
ministry. Just as Jesus entered into a secular world to
accomplish his ministry (John 3:16), so chaplains are called into
secular and pluralistic environments to minister.
Note, Jesus relied on His words and actions to fulfill his
mission to redeem and make an eternal relationship possible for
all believers. Romans 10:17 reminds one that actions alone are
not enough. “Faith comes by hearing the word of God.” Jesus
died for our sins, but without him telling us who he was and
why he came we would remain ignorant of salvation. John 1:14
reveals that “The Word became flesh.” It is not enough for
chaplains to bear the presence of Christ, they are also called to
bear his Word, words of salvation, words of hope, words of
comfort, words of peace, etc.
