Hekima Review No. 8 (Jan 1993)

Incarnation evokes in the minds of Christians the mystery of "God becoming man," the word of God taking human flesh. Another way of expressing the same reality is to see the mystery of man's wonderful cooperation with God exemplified in the person of Jesus, to fulfill God's mission here on earth. He, born of a woman, listened to his Father and gradually grew (in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man - Lk. 2:52) into his unique sonship - Son of God.
