Becoming Flesh – The Incarnation

223 Less than a minute

The Church calls Jesus’ assuming a human nature the Incarnation – becoming flesh. John 1: 14 tells us, “The Word became flesh and lived among us. Jesus “took the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men” (Phil 2:7). “A body have you prepared for me… then I said, ‘Lo, I have come to do your will, O God'” (Heb 10:5-7).
