The Incarnation—God With Us
John 16:28 also states, “I have come into the world.” The incarnation—God taking on flesh and becoming man—was a pivotal moment in history. Jesus, the eternal Word, became one of us to live, suffer, and die for us. God didn’t remain distant in the heavens buy entered into our world of pain, suffering, and sin.
Why is this so important? It means that Jesus understands us deeply. He has experienced our struggles and weaknesses. He didn’t just observe from afar—He came and walked with us.
Reflect on the comfort and encouragement that comes from knowing Jesus was fully human as well as fully God. In moments of hardship, remember that He understands exactly what you’re going through.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for choosing to come to us. Thank You for experiencing life as we do. Help me to remember that You are with me in every moment, understanding my struggles. Amen.
