Outline

At exactly the right time the Father and Son agreed it was time for the Son to come to this earth He created and take on a body just like ours. Why was this necessary?

Incarnation – in flesh
I. The Testimony to the Incarnation
Galatians 4:4
II. The Intensity of the Incarnation
III. The Reality of the Incarnation
Philippians 2:6,7 “made Himself of no reputation” = emptied
Himself
                     A. John 17:5 – He gave up His glory
                            B. Isaiah 53 – He gave up His honor
                                 C. 2 Corinthians 8:9 – He gave up His riches
                                    D. John 4:34 – He gave up independent exercise of His will
IV. The Necessity of the Incarnation
                   A. To reveal God
                          John 14                          
                        7) If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and
                             from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

                        8) Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth
                             us.
                                                                                   
                        9) Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet
                            hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen
                            the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

                      10) Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
                             the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the
                             Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

                      11) Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
                             believe me for the very works' sake.

                         B. To Provide an example
                         1 John 2:6
                           
6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
                                  even as he walked.

                             C. To redeem us
                                    1 Peter 1:18-19

                                 18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
                                       corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
                                       conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

                                 19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
                                        blemish and without spot:

                                  D. To fulfill prophecy
                                       Luke 1:31-33

                                31) And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
                                       forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

                                32) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
                                       and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father
                                       David:

                                33) And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
                                       his kingdom there shall be no end.

                                         E. To destroy Satan’s works
                                            1 John 3:8

                                             8) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
                                             sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of
                                             God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of
                                             the devil.

                                              F. To be sympathetic
                                             Hebrews 4:14-16

                                        14) Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is
                                               passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold
                                               fast our profession.

                                        15) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched
                                               with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points
                                               tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

                                        16) Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,
                                               that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time
                                               of need.

                                                   G. To be Judge
                                                             John 5:22
                                            22) For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all
                                                   judgment unto the Son:
                                            John 5:27
                                             27) And hath given him authority to execute judgment
                                                    also, because he is the Son of man.

                                                 H. To demonstrate the highest form of love.
                                                   1 John 3:16

                                                16) Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid 
                                                       down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our
                                                       lives for the brethren.

Big Idea:
