Incarnation

The doctrine that the eternal Son of God took on human flesh and was born as Jesus of Nazareth. John 1:14 says 'The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.' Philippians 2:6-8 describes Jesus emptying Himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in human likeness. God didn't just send a message — He showed up in person. The Incarnation means God knows what it's like to be hungry, tired, tempted, and betrayed. It's the ultimate 'I didn't come to observe — I came to participate.'
