In this episode of Ask an Apologist, Matthew Mittelberg, Mike Sherrard, and Alycia Wood from the Apologetics, Inc. Team come together to explore one of the most profound questions in Christian theology: what does the incarnation really mean? As Christmas approaches, the team dives into the relevance of the incarnation and its implications for understanding the true meaning of Christmas. They discuss topics ranging from the concept of God becoming human to the purpose behind Jesus' life and sacrifice.
With references to well-known thinkers like C.S. Lewis and drawing on insights from historical theology, the discussion delves into the mysteries of God in human form. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on how the incarnation represents not just forgiveness of sins but a path to the sanctification and glorification of humanity. The conversation also addresses common objections and questions about Jesus' dual nature as both fully God and fully man, highlighting the unique aspects of Christian belief.
This episode is both an invitation to engage with the deeper theological questions surrounding Christmas and an opportunity to find inspiration and wonder in the story of God entering the world for redemption. Join the dialogue, ask your questions, and discover the rich traditions and beliefs that make the story of the incarnation central to Christian faith.
