The Glory of the Incarnation: Application

Yesterday Jeff Purswell preached an outstanding message on the glory of Christ’s incarnation. In the incarnation, Jeff taught, God became man, his glory was revealed and his grace was provided.

You can listen online or download the message here.

And here are the questions pastor Brian Chesemore has written to help you apply this message to your life either on your own or in groups. At the bottom, for your further study, Brian lists many of the texts Jeff referenced in his message.

1.  In what specific ways does John 1:1-18 reveal both the divinity and humanity of Christ?

2.  In the incarnation, Jesus took on humanity in such a way that he could identify and sympathize with every temptation and challenge you face.  How should this encourage you in your current circumstances?  How should this affect your thoughts of God and prayers to him?

3.  John 1:14 reminds us that God loves to disclose himself and his glory.  How do you see the glory of God revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ?

4.  Josh encouraged us to meditate on the Old Testament and New Testament passages in Jeff’s message so that we might appreciate the incarnation all the more. The passages are listed below.  May God bless your study of his Word!

    a. In Exodus we encounter the glory of God manifested in the midst of his people (Ex 24:17; 25:8; 33:18; 34: 5-7; Ex 40).

    b. Meditate on the steadfast love and faithfulness spoken of in the Old Testament and manifested in the grace and truth of Jesus Christ (Psalm 25:10; 36:6; 57:3; John 1:14-18).
