Why the Incarnation Still Matters in Your Life Today

The Incarnation is not just a past event—it is the living center of Christian hope. Jesus still carries our humanity. His scars remain. He remembers what it feels like to be tired, rejected, or in pain.

This matters deeply. We do not pray to an abstract idea but to a Savior who knows what it feels like to be human.

When life feels unbearable, God did not hand us a philosophy of suffering. He stepped into suffering Himself.

I think of Kara Tippetts, a pastor’s wife who faced cancer with grace. Her friends didn’t come with explanations—they came with presence. Folding laundry, holding her hand, reading Scripture by her bed. Through those small acts, the truth of the Incarnation shone again: God with us.

👉 Reflection: In your weakness and pain, Christ’s presence is not distant—it is personal.
