Jesus: The Savior Sent

About this episode

This episode explores the profound significance of Jesus being sent into the world, emphasizing His pre-existence and the implications for worship during Christmas.

In the hustle of the Christmas season, it’s easy to miss the most profound word of the story: Sent . Many assume Jesus began His existence in a manger, but Scripture paints a far greater picture—the eternal Son of God, who existed from everlasting, was sent into the world to become flesh and save us. If Jesus was merely created, He cannot save. But because He is the uncreated, divine Son given by the Father, Christmas becomes the thunderous moment when eternity entered time. This episode dives deep into biblical Christology, exploring the pre-existence and incarnation of Christ through Old and New Testament texts, the precise language of prophecy (Isaiah 9:6, Micah 5:2), Mary’s worship in the Magnificat, and the apostolic witness. We confront alarming survey data revealing widespread confusion in the church today and show why the distinction between “created” and “sent” is not abstract theology—it’s the very heart of the gospel and the reason we can worship with confidence this Christmas. Join us for a rich, doctrine-driven conversation that will reawaken your awe of the Sent Savior. Music provided by Reawaken Hymns and Nathan Drake. - https://www.reawakenhymns.com Their…
