Incarnation (173)
  1. God does not combat the impending armies of Satan with might and power, but with the weakness of a babe.
  2. The Son of Eve disarmed Satan’s hold on humanity, not with an earthquake, atomic bomb, or brilliant essay, but with his dead body and final words, “It is finished.”
  3. The real question we must ask about God’s will isn’t, “God, command us according to your will and we’ll do it,” but, “God, what are you willing to do for us who can’t do what you command?”
  4. Understanding the doctrine of the hypostatic union can help us understand what God is up to in the Incarnation.
  5. Jesus is born, and His birth is proclaimed to shepherds which includes good news for all of us.
  6. Gabriel appears to Mary with the shocking announcement that she is to be the mother of the Son of God. How should we view Mary?
  7. Theology is not to simply adopt the positions and presuppositions of philosophy, nor should it reject philosophy.
  8. Every day, in everything we do and experience, we are busy hearing, seeing, and telling stories.
  9. I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger. Gillespie and Riley again read and discuss C.S. Lewis' The Joyful Christian. This episode, the Incarnation. Do we go far enough with Jesus' incarnation, to where He wants us to go with him?
  10. It’s inconceivable! Gillespie and Riley continue to read and discuss Robert Capon’s “The Mystery of Christ... and why we don’t get it.” Faith, works, and more Christian absurdity.
  11. Here, we read the mystery and majesty of the incarnation of the Son of God wrapped up into a single package
  12. Would You Like to Play a Game? Gillespie and Riley return to Robert Capon to read and discuss the incarnation of Jesus and how we try to turn free grace into a transaction.
