The pre-existent
Son of God
before time and creation;

All things came into being
through Him.

-

Not becoming the
Son of God
...through the Virgin birth
proclaimed by Luke;

Nor at the baptism
in Jordan
as declared by Mark;

Nor at the resurrection
from the dead
narrated by Paul.

-

Human flesh
the eternal Son of God
became

And dwelled among us
in glory,
suffering and passion.

The Incarnation
eventuating in Nazareth -
...an enlightened affirmation!

Where Jesus
grew into manhood
and divine avocation.
