Jesus Christ: His Incarnation
Overview
Butler has organized this study on the subject of the incarnation of Jesus Christ into six major parts:
- The Background of Christ—four studies on key texts of Scripture showing the identity of Christ as both God and man
- The Birth of Christ—nine studies on all the major texts of Scripture which give details about the birth of Jesus Christ to Mary in which God was incarnated in the likeness of human flesh
- The Boyhood of Christ—a study of the only text of Scripture which records the actions of Christ when He was a young boy
- The Baptism of Christ—a study of this significant and often misunderstood event which commenced the public ministry of Christ
- The Battle of Christ—four studies on the great temptation experience of Christ in which His identity as the Son of God was challenged very strongly by Satan
- The Beautification of Christ—a study of the glorious transfiguration of Christ in which the glories of the Deity of Christ radiated forth from the Incarnated Christ for a small time during His ministry here on earth.

Praise for the Print Edition
John G. Butler, longtime pastor and Bible commentator, is to be commended for his affirmation, alliteration, and application of the biblical text. He provides a treasure chest of biblical truth for the teacher and preacher of the Word of God. I gladly recommend his writings.
—Dr. Franklin L. Kirksey, Pastor, Teacher, Mentor, Writer, Author of Sound Biblical Preaching: Giving the Bible a Voice
I know of no finer collection of resources than Butler. No library is complete without these uncompromising gems of wisdom. After reading the Bible text itself, my next step is always to consult Butler. They are absolutely essential to my Bible study.

Top Highlights
“Repeating truths is done for at least three good reasons. First, it is done to show the certainty of the truths. Second, it is done to show the importance of the truths. Third, it it is done to show the clarity of the truths. When you see repetition in Scripture it will always stress one or all of these three good reasons.” (Page 24)
“One of the main reasons folk hate the doctrine of the Deity of Christ is that it enforces the Lordship of Jesus Christ over man.” (Pages 20–21)
“The Gospel is the main reason why Christ was incarnated.” (Page 28)
“Let us be fully persuaded that the Father and the Son are two distinct Persons in the Trinity … and yet that they are one in substance and inseparably united and undivided’ (Ryle).” (Page 18)
“Christ emphasized this intimate relationship when He said, ‘I am in the Father, and the Father in me’ (John 14:10, 11), and ‘I and my Father are one’ (John 10:30).” (Page 18)
