In retrospect, “the incarnation”
(or, God IN humanity) (aka, the word made flesh) solved the issue of His
“beyond-ness,” and our “separated-ness.”
[John 1:14; Pastor]
“The incarnation,” when God
entered our human realm (“as us, for us”), set the stage to take us from trying
to get a “hold” of God, to God getting a “hold” of us. The succinct description
of Jesus is “God IN man.”
[Isaiah 53:5; 2 Cor 5:21; Pastor]
Concerning eternal life; which was
given after the resurrection, Jesus said, “Except a
corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
bringeth forth much fruit” which spake of the process of death, burial,
and resurrection. The song writer penned: ...HE DECIDED TO DIE, JUST TO SAVE
ME!
[John 12:24; 10:17-18]
That's why Jesus came to earth.
