Outcome of Christs Incarnation

63

The Word was made flesh. Again, this is important to understand that the Son always was and always will be. Isaiah offers another insightful perspective. Along with Christ's Theophanies and Christophanies, it reveals His pre-existence by stating the child is born but the Son is given.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

  1. How much did the Son give up when He came to earth and how much did He retain?

a. What the Lord Jesus Christ gave up:

(1) He gave up His heavenly glory (John 17:5, 24), referring to His outward appearance of His brilliance and majesty (Matthew 16:27; Matthew 24:30; Revelation 21:23).

(2) He gave up His heavenly reputation (Philippians 2:5-7).

(3) He gave up His heavenly riches (2Corinthians 8:9).

(4) He limited His earthly knowledge (Mark 13:32).

b. What the Lord Jesus Christ did NOT give up:

(1) He did not give up His deity (Matthew 1:23; 1Timothy 3:16).

(2) He did not give up His omnipresence (John 3:13).

(3) He did not give up His omniscience (John 2:25); He only limited Himself in some areas.

(4) He did not give up His omnipotence (Matthew 8:26-27; John 6:11-14, 19).

(5) He did not give up His holiness – "in him is no sin" (1John 3:5).

(6) He did not give up His spiritual authority (Mark 1:27; Luke 5:20-24).
