Born of a Woman—Atonement and the Incarnation
SABBATH AFTERNOON Read for This Week's Study:
| Matt. 1:18–25; 3:13–17; 4:1–11; 9:35; Mark 1:12, 13; John 1:1, 2, 14; Col. 2:9; Heb. 1:3. |
Memory Text:
| “But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin” (1 John 3:5, NIV). |
Key Thought:
| To show that in the person and work of Christ, God was bringing humans back to harmony with Him and with each other. Scientists concede that no matter how much they are learning, the universe remains full of mystery. The Bible, too, is full of mystery—the greatest one being God’s work for our salvation. This week we will concentrate on a central theme of that work: the incarnation of the Son of God, possibly the greatest mystery in all the cosmos. That the Creator condescended to become a creature in a world of sin and death boggles the mind. How did that amazing event occur? Only the Godhead knows! One thing we do know, however, is that without the Incarnation there would not be forgiveness of sin and reconciliation with God. The incarnation of the Son of God into human flesh was an indispensable element in God’s plan for the salvation of the race. |
