The Truth of the Cross: 2014 Regional Conference
This session explains why a mere human being could not accomplish atonement, nor could a disembodied divine Spirit. It shows that it was necessary for the second person of the Godhead to take on flesh in order to make a sufficient sacrifice for man's sin. By explaining the incarnation, this session also explains the one person and two natures of Christ.
