The Mystery of the Incarnation is the Intimacy of God
In this Advent special, Jeff Norris and Dr. Bryan Chapell explore the incarnation—why Jesus came to us as a baby and what that reveals about God’s intimate love. May this Advent season stir your heart with awe and affection for Christ, who came near.
Quotes:
-
“The uniqueness (of Christianity) is that every other religion says that, either by your performance or some state of consciousness, you have to work your way up to God. But Christianity is the only religion that says no, God actually came down to you. We don’t lift the ladder up, God lowered the ladder down.” — Bryan Chapell
-
“Sometimes it’s good to ask God: ‘God, arouse my affections. Stir within me the joy of the reality of the incarnation.’” — Jeff Norris
-
“He must fully be God in order to save us. He must fully be human in order to love us.” — Bryan Chapell
