Gospel Journey

Did Jesus really become flesh?

During the week, we'll be looking at the suffering and resurrection of Christ for our devotional. If you haven't checked it out today, go there first. Then, come back here and take a look at some questions people ask:

Did Jesus really become flesh?

"By this you know the Spirit of God; every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God" (I John 4:2).

Here are some quick items that show Jesus took on human flesh:

1. He was born of a woman (Luke 2:7).
2. He was hungry (Luke 4:2).
3. He became tired (Luke 8:23).
4. Jesus experienced sorrow (John 11:35).
5. He bled (John 19:34).

Of course, there are countless more. Believe it or not, there are some that claim Jesus wasn't really here in the flesh, but rather was just and illusion. However, Jesus had to come as a human to save humanity. Anyone who teaches anything otherwise, is not teaching the gospel.
