Over the next few weeks, I will add my preaching notes for the Advent series at CFCB. We are taking a deeper look into the incarnation. On the first Sunday of Advent, we looked at the incarnation and how God helps us through identification with us. These will be pretty bare-bones outlines. However, I will add a little bit more commentary than what I use when I preach.
- Advent and Incarnation bring a time of blessing and excitement to us.
- Significance of the incarnation (enfleshment).
- It is more than a time of celebrating the birth of Christ.
- It is the awareness of what Christ did for us in His first coming.
- Incarnation is significant because God identifies with us.
- It is a point of uniqueness among other religions.
- God became human
- Physically human- as a baby process and with physical needs and limits.
- Culturally human – language, dress, food, history, etc.
- Human politics – a time of extremely corrupt governance
- Born into our world and under our circumstances.
- God has spoken to us (Heb. 1:2) and listened to us (Heb. 4:15-16).
- This high priest understands us and because we know he understands us we can come boldly to His throne for help.
- Heb. 2:8
- Is. 53:3
- God is helping us.
- Isaiah 7:14
- Matthew 1:22-23
