About this listen
Why are Christians so uncomfortable talking about Jesus as fully human? From the first century to today, believers have tried to protect Christ from the messy realities of human existence—but John's first letter destroys that impulse. Writing against Gnostic heresies that denied Christ came in the flesh, John declares with eyewitness authority: "What we have heard, seen, beheld, and touched." This message explores the profound implications of the Incarnation—that the Creator of the universe became a helpless baby dependent upon His own creation. You'll discover why early false teachers couldn't accept a material Savior, how Christ's humanity makes fellowship with a holy God possible, and why the wonder of God walking in human flesh should fill us with joy. If you've ever struggled with understanding why Christ had to be fully human (not just divine), or if you want to grasp the magnitude of what Jesus gave up to reconcile you to God, this sermon reveals the breathtaking humility and necessity of the Incarnation.
