In Part 3 of this four-part series, Pastor Joshua Jordan explains the most astonishing event in history: God entered His own creation. Like a video game developer who must use a character to interact with the world they built, God became human in Jesus Christ — His avatar — fully God, fully man, operating within the rules of the universe He created.We explore why the prophets were like NPCs preparing the world for the hero, what the Greek words "eskēnōsen" and "kenōsis" reveal about the incarnation, why God's full presence would have been lethal to sinful humanity, and how Jesus defeated death itself.
This is the gospel explained like you've never heard it before.
