Stations of the Incarnation
Moments in Scripture where God has Appeared Tangibly and How this Point to Christ
Station 1: The Creation of the Universe (Big Bang)
The Incarnation is the central belief of Christianity. It is the belief that God is expressed physically in our world.
Station 2: Hagar and Ishmael
Hagar didn’t have any control over her situation at all.
Station 3: Abraham is Tested to Sacrifice Isaac
Before God called him to be the father of many nations, Abraham was from the land of Ur of the Chaldeans.
Station 4: Jacob’s Vision and Wrestling
In the first vision that Jacob receives, God had created an access point to the trickster as an act of grace.
Station 5: Moses and the Burning Bush
The Burning Bush is a great symbol for Incarnation.
Station 6: The Tabernacle
Hebrews 9-10 talks about how the Law and the Tabernacle were “shadows of good things to come”.
Station 7: The Ark of the Covenant is Stolen
It’s weird that the Philistines were able to steal the Ark of the Covenant.
Station 8: Shepherd boy David is Anointed
David was not the king that anyone wanted.
Station 9: The Temple of Solomon
The construction of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem was a communal project.
Station 10: Elijah’s Sacrifice
The sacrifice of Elijah on Mt. Carmel is similar to the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary.
Station 11: Root of Jesse
The Root of Jesse is a metaphor that refers to the coming of the Messiah.
Station 12: Christ’s Birth
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
