Son of Promise

Why should the incarnation amaze us in every season, not just at Christmas? Working through Matthew 1 and Isaiah 7:14, we define the incarnation biblically — the eternal Son of God adding human flesh to His person — and apply this glorious truth to our worship and daily walk.

What comes into your mind when you think about God? In Isaiah 6, the prophet is ushered into the throne room of the Lord and sees Him as He truly is: holy. From verses 1-5, we see five expressions of God's holiness — it is majestic, unapproachable, utterly different, the substance of His glory, and fearful — and why a right view of His holiness leaves every sinner undone and in need of a Savior.

Isaiah lay undone before the holy throne — and then the Lord moved. In Isaiah 6:6-7, a seraph flies to the broken prophet with a burning coal from the altar, and Isaiah hears the sweetest words a sinner can hear: your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for. We see that atonement comes mercifully and solely from the holy God, and that through Christ, our great High Priest, it does more than declare us innocent — it brings us near to sit at the King's table.
