The Incarnation is the powerful mystery that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became flesh to fulfill our salvation and to save us from both sin and death. The Incarnation is the greatest sign of Christian faith to be true.
In the Gospel of Luke, we are told that through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Incarnation came to be accurate.

When I pray to Jesus, I often times think what it would have been like living in the time of Jesus. I think knowing that Jesus walked on Earth like we do really helps me comprehend the true meaning of the
