The Authority and Significance of God's Incarnation

The Authority and Significance

of God's Incarnation

I

Man's stature, knowledge,

love, and loyalty,

obedience, and all that man sees

have come from judgment by the word.

Your faith stands because of His word.

Through this man sees

God's amazing work.

There is much beyond man's grasp:

great mysteries and wonders all around.

And therefore many have submitted.

None surpass the judgment of His word,

and no darkness

prevails over His authority.

Man submits because of His incarnation,

His authority,

and judgment from His word.

II

Those who have never submitted

kneel to God

when confronted by His word.

They bend to the judgment of His word,

never scrutinizing

or judging with their tongue.

God's flesh appears as if He's ordinary,

but His words show man

His full authority.

He is God Himself,

His words express this.

None can offend Him, He is God in flesh.

III

God incarnate delivers His words,

so all with ears may hear

and receive His judgment.

God does not frighten man

into submission

by showing Himself in spirit form.

Man's true disposition,

though hidden deep,

is revealed by this real

and unique work,

so man may recognize it and change.

God's judgment is practical

and is delivered by the word.

This is the authority and significance

of God's incarnation.

This is the authority and significance

of God's incarnation.

None surpass the judgment of His word,

and no darkness prevails

over His authority.

Man submits because of His incarnation,

His authority,

and judgment from His word.

His incarnation, His authority,

and judgment from His word.
