Incarnation

Incarnation is the idea that God took on a physical form. In other words, it is the idea that God became a human being and was born in the form of a baby. This baby is known as Jesus. Jesus was born in a very special way. He is considered to be the Son of God, which means that He is both human and divine, or part God and part man. He came to teach people about God and to show them what it means to be kind and loving. Jesus died on a cross to save people from their sins and He rose from the dead after three days. The incarnation is a very important part of many Christian beliefs.
