🕊️ The Incarnation of the Lord Jesus ✨ The Incarnation of the Lord Jesus resolved the power of the laws of nature. This radical change came through the union of divinity with humanity without a mediator. The place of the Lord's bodily birth was transformed into the house of the new creation, as the Holy Spirit entered the "time of renewal." The Lord Jesus brought a new life that was born, not as an idea, but the reality of "that which we have heard, seen, and touched concerning the Word of life" (1 John 1:1-3). The Gospel issues from the reality of the Lord's Incarnation. Every word is now measured by the scale of the Incarnation of the Word—a precise measure of "discernment" between truth and falsehood, good and evil. It reveals God in His humility, dwelling among us in His own body, and shows man as he ought to be. The incarnate Word became "the firstborn among many brethren." The only-begotten Son brought us this hypostatic quality, united through the Incarnation, becoming "the only-begotten in the flesh from the Virgin." Yet, His eternal Sonship does not prevent the redeemed from sharing in it. He remains the Head, the Preeminent One, and the "firstborn" with the right of inheritance according to the old law, and the right to distribute it according to the new. #Incarnation #WordMadeFlesh #NewCreation #HolySpirit #Sonship #Theology
