Becoming Flesh: Advent 2023
We worship a trinitarian God – one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If you ever ask God the question, "Who is responsible for this?" The answer is always all three.
Throughout the Bible the Trinity has revealed Himself through the triune of unity. Salvation? All three. Discipleship? All three. Sanctification? All three. But there is one event that although all three persons acted as one God, only one person of the Trinity took on a new nature. That is the Incarnation. As a bride has her mother and sister help her put on her wedding dress, the Eternal Father and Eternal Spirit helped the Son put on flesh. All three persons have been present and active throughout history culminating in the crescendo of God revealing Himself in the incarnation.
This advent series looks at the incarnation through the three lenses of the three persons of the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
