Incarnation: The making of something physical, real, able to be touched and interacted.Surely it is easier for God to remain in the heavens to do and say things? The Old Testament is full of these kinds of examples.
So why did God make an appearance on earth as Jesus? Jesus, the bible shares was a human being just like anyone of us. If the bible says God wanted to 'save us' to reconcile our relationship with him, why couldn't he just do this from heaven? He was able to sort things out in the past through floods, lightning, prophets, etc. Why did he choose not to stay at a distance?
According to the writings of the bible's New Testament:
- The devil had the power of death and the only way this could be broken was for Jesus to die.
- And, the only way for Jesus to die was for him to become like us in every way, human.
- So God made Jesus human
- And where to humans live? In heaven?
No.
