Behold the Love of God
Series From the Book of Acts
Sermon Point: Behold the love of God, Jesus Christ taking human flesh and human emotions to suffer for you.
Brief Explanation: Because God is "a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions" (WCF 2:1), it was necessary for Christ "to share in flesh and blood" (Hebrews 2:14) in order to suffer the torment of both body (Isaiah 53:5) and soul (Isaiah 53:11) in payment for our sins (Isaiah 53:6).
Outline:
- We are creatures bound in a very physical condition.
- As human beings we also have very human emotions and passions.
- God is quite different from us; He does not have a body like men.
- He is also quite different from us not having human emotions or passions (WCF 2:1, Acts 14-13-15).
- To experience human physical suffering, God must become man (Hebrews 2:14, Isaiah 53:3-6).
- To experience human passions and emotions, God must become man (Isaiah 53:3 and 11).
