The Scandal of the Incarnation

16-adventAdvent 2016

There is no greater, more enthralling story than that of the one, true God taking on flesh. All of us have our own story, but to be brought into the drama of God’s own life is pretty overwhelming. In fact, it is unbelievable.

The account, actually, is quite scandalous. Speaking of Bethlehem’s manger, a preacher once asked the question, “What’s a good God like that doing in a place like this?” Maybe you have had the experience of wondering the same thing. Could Jesus actually want to become inseparably connected to the likes of you and me?

In the next four weeks we will be exploring the story of how the Son of God took on our human nature, why He chose the people He did to point to his arrival, and how He enters into the human story, your story. When Jesus enters your scandalous story everything has the possibility of becoming glorious, free, whole. It is a marvelous story, almost too good to be true.
