Today's Points:
1) The incarnation is true.
A) The Word of life is the eternal God in time.
B) The Word of life is the transcendent God knowable.
C) The Word of life is the invisible God visible.
D) The Word of life is the intangible God tangible.
2) True life is in Jesus.
3) Our joy is to testify to the joy of knowing Jesus.
“The biblical Jesus is no myth, fairy tale, or fable. He is no ghost or illusion. He is indeed the God who took on full humanity… Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He is not half God and half man, all God and no man, or all man and no God. Nor is He simply a man uniquely in touch with the divine. No, He is the God-man, like no one else who will ever live.”
