Jesus: He came, God in the flesh (Christmas gift)

1 John 5:4–8 ESV

4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.

If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, He would have sent an economist. If He had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, He would have sent us a comedian or an artist. If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, He would have sent us a politician. If He had perceived that our greatest need was health, He would have sent us a doctor. But He perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from Him, our profound rebellion, our death; and He sent us a Savior. ” D.A. Carson, “A Call to Spiritual Reformation”

By Water and Blood

He is One Person, yet 2 natures, YET ONLY ONE person…only ONE. He is not ‘God AND Man’…He is ‘God-Man.’ Not intermingled, ONE. This is the SON of God, Jesus Christ, Who CAME.
