The document discusses how God became human in the form of Jesus Christ. It references Bible verses that describe Jesus coming into the world as the light and creator, but being rejected by the people. It then discusses how the Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among humanity, and that Christians believe the central miracle is the incarnation of God becoming man. The purpose of Jesus coming is then outlined as: to lead people to glory, to become one with humanity, to free people from sin, and to give an abundant life. The conclusion reiterates that Jesus came to seek people and they must respond to who he is.

1. HE CAME INTO
THE WORLD
John 1:9-12
12-16-12

2. John 1:9-12
9 The one who is the true light, who
gives light to everyone, was coming
into the world. 10 He came into the
very world he created, but the world
didn’t recognize him. 11 He came to
his own people, and even they
rejected him.

3. 14 So the Word became human and
made his home among us. He was
full of unfailing love and faithfulness.
And we have seen his glory, the
glory of the Father’s one and only
Son.

4. C. S. Lewis says…
The central miracle asserted by
Christians is the Incarnation. They
say that God became Man. Every
other miracle prepares the way for
this, or results from this.
