There is a single, unique, and unprecedented event in the world’s history: the incarnation of God. God and man were united in the person of Christ and became the divine and extraordinary person of the God-man. Never before has another such person existed, nor will again, in the history of the world and of humanity. In Christ the God-man, two natures have been united: the divine and the human, without confusion, distinct, separate, and independent, each unchanged by the other. Christ, the Son of God, is also the Son of Man– perfect God and perfect Man. He is truly the God-man in the full sense of the word. As God, He is born of God the Father “before all ages.” As human, He was born “of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary,” the place being Bethlehem in Judea. The event of the Incarnation of the Son and Word of God and His retaining both His divine and human natures have made a profound impression, resulting inevitably in much debate. The Third, Fourth, and Sixth Ecumenical Councils dealt with this matter. The Third Ecumenical Council decided with its infallibility to call Christ “Perfect God and perfect man, with a rational soul and body . . . one in divine essence with the Father and of the same essence as humanity.
