About this listen

 In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins continues our December series, The Incarnation and the Christian Worldview, by answering an essential theological question: Why did Jesus take on flesh? When we think about Christmas, we often picture the manger scene, but Scripture teaches that the birth of Christ is inseparably connected to His mission to redeem sinners. The cradle leads to the cross, the empty tomb, and ultimately to the return of Christ. In this episode, we explore: • Why redemption required the eternal Word to become flesh. • How Jesus fulfilled the law as the perfect representative of humanity. • Why the Incarnation was necessary for the cross. • How Christ's death defeated sin, death, and Satan. • What it means to be adopted as sons and daughters. • How the resurrection secures our justification and hope. • How redemption shapes the Christian life today. • How the Incarnation points to our final redemption and future glory. The Incarnation isn't a seasonal theme it is central to the gospel, the Christian worldview, and the believer's eternal hope. ________________________________________ Key Scripture: John 1:14 • Galatians 4:4–5 • Hebrews 2:14–17 • Philippians 2:5–11 • Romans 4:25 • 1 Corinthians 15 • Titus 2:14 • Revelation 21:1–4 ________________________________________ Key Truth: Christ was born to redeem.
