Why Christ Came: 31 Meditations on the Incarnation

When thinking about Christâ€™s birth, we often focus our attention on Lukeâ€™s detailed gospel account. But to appreciate the main point of the storyâ€”that the eternal Son of God assumed our flesh-and-blood human natureâ€”we need to learn from the rest of the Bible why Christ came to earth. Why did Christ come? In this book, thirty-one thoughtful meditations answer this vital question, and the answers encourage us to celebrate Christâ€™s birth more deeply, see more clearly how it is connected with the rest of His ministry, and recognize its importance for our lives.

Endorsement â€œCan anything new be said about Christâ€™s incarnation? Actually, a lot of old things that we may have forgotten! Like a multifaceted diamond, the question â€˜Why did the eternal Son become man?â€™ admits a variety of answers. Probing some of those with wisdom bathed in the Scriptures is what makes this devotional guide so rich. It will be part of our familyâ€™s Advent devotions and, I hope, a source of blessing for many others.â€ â€” Michael Horton, professor of theology at Westminster Seminary California and cohost of the White Horse Inn
