The Incarnation was a stupendous event, a miracle of miracles. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the foundation of all our hope, rest upon this prior foundation. Christ became a man in order to be able to die. He became a man in order to come back from the dead, leading us all out of the Egypt of sin and death, and into the Canaan of His everlasting promise.
But the Incarnation was not an event that happened in the birth of Christ, and then culminated in His passion. Christ rose from the dead as a man, and ascended into the presence of the Ancient of Days as a man. He did not set aside His Deity, but rather we find two natures gloriously united forever in the person of our Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.
But the point of the Incarnation extends beyond this. The new mankind in Christ requires an Eve, just as the old mankind did. The new mankind is not complete without that Eve — male and female created He them.
This means the Incarnation is not complete until we are complete. The Incarnation is not done until the entire creation ceases its restless groaning at the resurrection. The work of the Incarnation is carried on in the power of the Holy Spirit, as He knits us together, the Church of Jesus Christ, into the living humanity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
This is not done by our power. How could it be? This is not done by our mental exercises. This is no rationalistic exercise. This is done as the grace of God falls down upon our heads, as bread out of heaven. How can we be knit together with Christ, bone of His bones and flesh of His flesh, by simply eating and drinking? The Spirit accomplishes this through His power, and we come to Him in the eating and drinking, objectively. In faith, we are part of His faithful bride. In sin and unbelief, we are adulteresses. There is no neutrality in this.
So the Incarnation was more than just a supernatural event—it was and remains a miracle. In the Supper of the Lord, the miracle continues.
