The Physical Nature of Jesus, the Son of God:
Let's take a brief look at how and when Jesus
became flesh:
"Paul,
a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an
apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which He
promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy
Scriptures, concerning His Son, who was born of a
descendant of David according to the flesh..."
Romans 1:1-3 (NAS)
"And the Word became flesh, and
dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of
the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and
truth." John 1:14 (NAS)
"Therefore the Lord Himself
will give you a sign: behold, a virgin will be with
child and bear a son, and she will call His name
Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14 (prophesying
about the birth of Christ - NAS)
"Behold, the virgin shall be
with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall
call His name Immanuel," which translated means,
"God with us." And Joseph arose from his sleep, and
did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took
her as his wife, and kept her a virgin until she
gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus."
Matthew 1:23-25 (NAS)
And it came about while He
(Jesus) said these things, one of the women in the
crowd raised her voice, and said to Him, "Blessed is
the womb that bore You, and the breasts at which You
nursed." But He said, "On the contrary,
blessed are those who hear the word of God, and
observe it." Luke 11:27-28 (NAS)
And when eight days were
completed before His circumcision, His name was then
called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He
was conceived in the womb. Luke 2:21 (NAS)
"And Mary said to the angel,
"How can this be, since I am a virgin?" Luke 1:34
(NAS)
Question:
According to the scriptures above, when did
Jesus (also called "the Word," "Immanuel,"
or "the Christ") become flesh? |
