Episode notes

We mix up what incarnational means because of our own efforts to be missional or misheological, going and taking the gospel somewhere. We have a sort of a way that we try to identify with people that's only but an inch deep. Jesus came down in the flesh, assuming our humanity. It happened one time for us not so that we could become little incarnations ourselves. But because we needed to be saved and only God could save us. So God became flesh. He assumed a human nature. His divinity didn't overwhelm his humanity or his humanity, his divinity.

Christ’s incarnation immediately sets Christianity apart from other religions and disrupts the expectations of religious leaders. So, what is this important doctrine and what do we lose if we deny it? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider Christ’s divine and human natures and what Christ’s incarnation means for us.
