Last week we looked at our Savior Jesus before His entrance into humanity. We saw what was happening before the worlds were made, what took place when they were made, and preincarnate appearances of Jesus before the manger. Let’s begin today to look at His entrance into humanity.


Incarnation – In Flesh
I. The Testimony to the Incarnation
             Galatians 4:4~
                4) But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, 
                     made of a woman, made under the law,

II. The Intensity of the Incarnation
III. The Reality of the Incarnation
       Philippians 2:6,7
          6) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with
               God:
          7) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a
              servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
           A. John 17:5 - And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the
                               glory which I had with thee before the world was.
              B. Isaiah 53 - Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the
                                  Lord revealed?
                               2) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root
                                   out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and
                                   when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should
                                   desire him.
                               3) He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
                                   acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from  
                                   him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
                               4) Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet
                                    we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
                               5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for
                                    our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
                                    and with his stripes we are healed.
                               6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
                                   to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us
                                   all.
                               7) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his
                                    mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a
                                   sheep
                                    before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
                                8) He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall
                                     declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of     
                                     the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
                                 9) And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in    
                                     his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any
                                     deceit in his mouth.
                                10) Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to
                                       grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he
                                       shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure
                                       of the Lord shall
                                       prosper in his hand.
                                 11) He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:
                                        by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;
                                        for he shall bear their iniquities.
                                  12) Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he 
                                         shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath
                                         poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with
                                         the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made
                                         intercession for the transgressors.

                C. 2 Corinthians 8:9 - For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
                                                though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
                                                that ye through his poverty might be rich.
                   D. John 4:34 – Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that
                                       sent me, and to finish his work.
IV. The Necessity of the Incarnation
