The Results of the Incarnation


Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil—flesh, sin, the grave, death.

In the incarnation, Jesus met flesh, and flesh lost (it will be transformed by resurrection).

In the wilderness temptation, Jesus met sin, and sin lost (the Tempter was met and overcome).

In the cross, Jesus met death, and death lost (death is waiting its ultimate destruction).

In the resurrection, Jesus destroyed the grip, fear, pain, and power of death (the power of death is sin, and sin has lost).

If Jesus met it, it has been overcome. God will put all things under his feet.

Victory is found in Jesus and in Jesus alone. No other foundation will suffice, and no other person can truly save us.
