Incarnation in Christian Theology
The Incarnation is the central mystery of Christianity — the eternal Son of God taking on human flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Born of a virgin, fully divine and fully human, Christ entered our world to accomplish salvation from within. This doctrine is the heart of Christmas worship and the foundation of Christian hope.
