Total for week: 103
The picture that this chapter displays is a picture of Mary with her son Jesus in her lap. Jesus is reaching up at his mother’s face in a loving way. Mary has a halo hovering over her head as she looks genuinely into her baby’s eyes.
The verse this chapter starts out with is John 1:14 which says, “And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth”. I had never heard this exact verse before; I had heard the concept of it, but never the real thing from the Bible. There is a song that talks about the word becoming flesh and dwelling among us which means that Jesus came down to earth to be with us. And when we see Jesus face to face, we will have seen God, and seen the truth.
Incarnation: God Comes is the name of this chapter. This was very in depth and answered a lot of questions I had never even thought about. Incarnation is used to explain how the second member of the Trinity entered into human history in flesh as the God-man Jesus Christ. This chapter explained that when Jesus was on earth he was both fully God and fully man. This concept can be hard to grasp because some people think that he either had to be fully man or fully God, and that he couldn’t be both. But this book does an excellent job of breaking down how it was possible for Jesus to be both. This book takes me deeper in thought about God than I thought was possible! I love it.
