The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001

based on 74 ratings

| 5,002 views

The full significance of the Incarnation is only seen when its dark side is understood - in the Sign of a Sword to Mary’s heart, the Symbol of Myrrh as an offering from the wise men and the Sorrow of Rachael over her dead children.

If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more

based on 44 ratings

| 3,489 views

"What Manner?" goes beyond the question that arose in Mary’s mind on hearing the angel’s salutation. This question can well be posed in other important areas as well.

WHAT MANNER? “And the angel came unto her, and said: Hail, thou who are highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what manner of salutation this was.” Luke 1:28-29 "What Manner?" goes ...read more
