Yes, Jesus Really Did Come as Our Emmanuel

This month we specially, specifically celebrate the incarnation of Jesus Christ—when God himself took on flesh and became man: “The Word became flesh” (John 1:14). As the great Christmas carol Hark! The Herald Angels Sing says, “Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail th’ incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel.” What a glorious truth for sinful mankind—the holy God took on flesh and, more than that, died in our place, rose again, and offers us eternal life!

We have a new exhibit coming to the Ark Encounter that will proclaim—and defend—this truth in a unique way: through a scale model of first-century Jerusalem!

We’re celebrating the glorious truth of the incarnation at both of our attractions this month with our ChristmasTown and ChristmasTime programs. And, of course, the truth of God in flesh is also proclaimed year-round through the exhibits, videos, daily presentations, and more. And we have a new exhibit coming to the Ark Encounter that will proclaim—and defend—this truth in a unique way: through a scale model of first-century Jerusalem!

This indoor model will be one of the world’s largest and will certainly be the most accurate and technologically advanced. Through the intricate details, integrated technology, and highlighted archaeological finds, we will show guests that, yes, Jesus really did step into history like the Bible says he did and, yes, the Gospels accurately record what he said and did, including his death and resurrection. We will also share the gospel and make sure guests understand the importance of some of Jesus’ last words to his disciples as he gave us all the great commission.

  • Ark Encounter New Exhibit
  • Ark Encounter Welcome Center
  • Ark Encounter Plaza

I’m so excited that this exhibit is coming to the Ark Encounter. It’s fully funded, and now we’re fundraising for the building that will both house this exhibit and be a much-needed welcome center. The new Jerusalem model building and Welcome Center is the focus of our 2022 end-of-year campaign. And I’m thrilled that, thanks to generous supporters, we can offer a matching gift offer again this year. Every donation made toward the combined Welcome Center and Jerusalem model building will be matched (through December 31), dollar-for-dollar, up to $8.5 million!

Please join with us in proclaiming and defending the truth of God incarnate every day at the Ark Encounter with a gift toward our new building. Visit AnswersInGenesis.org/donate to learn more and give today. We are so thankful for your generosity!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
