Incarnation

Whether our darkness comes from relational breakdown, grief, loneliness, health challenges, the guilt of sins committed, the shame of sins experienced, global trends or deep personal struggle, we must know that our God is a God of hope.

There is more love, more life, more light in our God than there is hate, death, and darkness in us. Jesus is full of grace and truth, and he is everything we need.

As we head towards another Christmas, let’s be sure to ponder the wonder of that first Christmas and the daily wonder of a God who moved toward us in such a stunning way!

Robert Letham considers the mystery of the Incarnation in an excerpt from his 'Systematic Theology' (Crossway, 2019).

In writing an introduction to Athanasius' 'On the Incarnation, C. S. Lewis also penned a modern classic on the value of reading old books. 

Dan Hames asks Peter Mead what difference the doctrine of the incarnation actually makes for us day to day. 

Virgil's fourth Eclogue was C. S. Lewis' favourite Christmas Day reading. He saw the poem as a pagan anticipation of the birth of Christ. Decide for yourself!

In this bumper edition of the podcast, Dan Hames speaks to Colin Nicholl about his extraordinary research into the Star of Bethlehem.
