THE RAGGED EDGE RADIO\nBROADCAST WORLDWIDE\nDECEMBER 2020\nTHE INCARNATION IN LIGHT OF EVERYTHING ELSE\nIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was\nGod. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things were created through Him,\nand without Him nothing was created that was created. 4\nIn Him was life, and the\nlife was the light of mankind. 5 The light shines in darkness, but the darkness has\nnot overcome it.\n6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 This man came as a\nwitness in order to testify concerning the Light, that all men through Him might\nbelieve. 8He was not this Light, but was sent in order to testify concerning the\nLight.\n9 The true Light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10He was\nin the world, and the world was created through Him, yet the world did not know\nHim. 11He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him. 12 Yet to all\nwho received Him, He gave the power to become sons of God, to those who\nbelieved in His name, 13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,\nnor of the will of man, but of God. John 1\n\u2018\u2019Wayne Grudem states the significance of the virgin birth to Christ\u2019s humanity\nsimilarly: The virgin birth also makes possible Christ\u2019s true humanity without\ninherited sin. . . . All human beings have inherited legal guilt and a corrupt moral\nnature from their first father, Adam (this is sometimes called \u201cinherited sin\u201d or\n\u201coriginal sin\u201d). But the fact that Jesus did not have a human father means that the\nline of descent from Adam is partially interrupted. Jesus did not descend from\nAdam in exactly the same way in which every other human being has descended\nfrom Adam. And this helps us to understand why the legal guilt and moral\ncorruption that belongs to all other human beings did not belong to Christ. . . . Such\na conclusion should not be taken to mean that the transmission of sin comes only\nthrough the father, for Scripture nowhere makes such an assertion.\nIt is enough for us merely to say that in this case the unbroken line of descent from\nAdam was interrupted, and Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. . . \nLIVE NOTES FOR THE RAGGED EDGE RADIO .COM BY RUSS DIZDAR \xa9\n. Reflection on that fact allows us to understand that through the absence of a\nhuman father, Jesus was not fully descended from Adam, and that this break in the\nline of descent was the method God used to bring it about that Jesus was fully\nhuman yet did not share inherited sin from Adam.\nClark, John; Johnson, Marcus Peter.
