The Reasons for the Season, Pt. 3                                                 “Why the God-Man?”                  Hebrews 2:14-18 To Destroy Death and the Devil (vv. 14-15) Jo. 1:1-3, 14  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made... 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[a] from the Father, full of grace and truth. Lu. 1:52-53a 52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things,  To Sacrifice for Sin (vv. 16-17) 1 Cor. 15:54-57 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Psa. 103:13-14 13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. 14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. Our God made us, loves us and takes pity on us.
