Sermon Point: Behold the love of God, Jesus Christ taking human flesh and human emotions to suffer for you.
Brief Explanation: Because God is "a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions" (WCF 2:1), it was necessary for Christ "to share in flesh and blood" (Hebrews 2:14) in order to suffer the torment of both body (Isaiah 53:5) and soul (Isaiah 53:11) in payment for our sins (Isaiah 53:6). Outline: 1. We are creatures bound in a very physical condition. 2. As human beings we also have very human emotions and passions. 3. God is quite different from us; He does not have a body like men. 4. He is also quite different from us not having human emotions or passions (WCF 2:1, Acts 14-13-15). 5. To experience human physical suffering, God must become man (Hebrews 2:14, Isaiah 53:3-6). 6. To experience human passions and emotions, God must become man (Isaiah 53:3 and 11).
