Topic 2: Incarnation

Jesus as God incarnate and God's message to Joseph

The word of God is another way of saying the son of God. John 1:14 explains this further:

Quote-And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his Glory, the glory as of the fathers only son, full of grace and truth.

This shows the word has always existed but then came to the earth to guide people closer to God and to teach them how to share his love.

Son of Man -  He was belived to be fully Man because he had human experiences and emotions.
