The Image of the Invisible God

Why did Jesus refer to himself as the Son of Man? Did he ever specifically make the claim that he was God? Why did the world need “God in human flesh” to rescue us in the first place, and was this idea of a divine descent ever mentioned anywhere in the Old Testament? The hosts […]

In the Gospel of Matthew we find the following lines from Isaiah’s prophecy applied to Jesus, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel which means, God with us.” Yet the context of that original passage appears to be about a child who was to be born […]

Many commentators have argued that the Gospel of John makes use of categories from Greek philosophy, particularly in its portrayal of Jesus as the divine Word. But is this really the case? Has John blended the story of Jesus with the ideas of Plato? On this program, the hosts walk through the opening lines of […]

In the second chapter of John’s gospel, people come to Jesus asking for a sign, and Jesus responds by saying, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” referring to the temple of his body. What this means is that he was the true temple, the true location of God’s holy […]

What’s the true spirit of Christmas? That’s the question at the heart of countless Christmas movies that clutter the airwaves and cable listings at this time of year.

Have you ever taken the time to really listen to and think about the lyrics of the various Christmas carols that you hear on the radio and in the shopping malls at this time of year? On this program the hosts will do just that as they consider popular songs like “Jingle Bells” and “Santa […]

Christmas is the time in which we celebrate the incarnation of Jesus Christ, the Word who “became flesh and dwelt among us” (Jn 1:14). But this same Word, who was God and was also with God (Jn 1:1-2), actually made a number of appearances throughout Israel’s history. On this program the hosts will take a […]

The first advent of Christ lays the groundwork for His impending second advent. While the first advent story explains how Christ, the Word, became flesh in the womb of a virgin, the second advent looks forward to Christ’s return as the enthroned King, enacting the final restoration of creation.

The Lord Christ is for ever, without beginning with the Father. And yet ask what today is; it’s a birthday. Whose? The Lord’s. Has he really got a birthday? He has. The Word in the beginning, God with God, has a birthday? Yes, he has. Unless he had a human birth, we would never attain to the divine rebirth […]

Since the infinitude of God’s love is what begins to make sense of the incarnation and birth of the divine Son, then for those who do not know God’s love, the Nativity remains forever an absurdity—and nothing more. For only God’s powerful and gracious work in the human heart can make sense of the confounding wisdom of his redemptive plan and eternally unravel the great mystery of the God-Man.
