Affirming the Incarnation (part 2) (Following Jesus Christ Rightly #15b)

We began to consider this important doctrine (teaching) of the incarnation last week by first showing that the Holy Scriptures give abundant teaching of the divinity of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God; that is, He is the Second Person of the blessed Holy Trinity, Who was begotten of the Father as His Son from eternity. “In the fulness of the time” the Son of God “came down” (we use that sort of language), and was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary. In doing so the Son of God assumed a human soul and body, even as He remained eternal God. And so, whereas we gave attention last week to the deity of Jesus Christ, today let us give attention to the human nature of the Lord Jesus Christ.
