--- title: God Unborn date: 2023-12-19T19:45:00+00:00 author: Lisa Curry canonical_url: "https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn" section: Pages --- Over the past few years when we at Both Lives have been out doing church talks, we have ended up asking ourselves this question; has much of the church forgotten that God chose to come as an embryo? And that profound truth, that we are image bearers from conception, gives value, dignity & worth to every human being — from that point. When Christians celebrate the incarnation, they remember the awesome truth of God the Son being fully human. That Jesus joined us in **all** our vulnerability, fragility and dependence! We celebrate Christ’s birth at Christmas but it’s important to remember and acknowledge that – unlike much of our commentary – he didn’t actually come at Christmas! Instead he began his human journey pre-birth and developed in the same way we did until he was born. With these video and Lectio Divina devotional resources we are inviting you to take time and dwell in the good news of the incarnation. To think about what that truth means, about God’s heart for both lives in pregnancy, and how we understand our place in his design. #### Lectio Divina [ ![God Unborn – Advent 2025](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![Untitled design 24](https://eauk.org/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,quality=90,width=400,fit=cover/https://cdn.eauk.org/Untitled-design-24_2025-11-27-155416_prjm.png) ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-advent-2025) [#### God Unborn – Advent 2025 ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-advent-2025) Advent devotional resource [ Find out more ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-advent-2025) [](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-advent-2025) [ ![God Unborn: Nine months between the angel and the manger](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![2 5](https://eauk.org/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,quality=90,width=400,fit=cover/https://cdn.eauk.org/2-5.png) ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-nine-months-between-the-angel-and-the-manger) [#### God Unborn: Nine months between the angel and the manger ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-nine-months-between-the-angel-and-the-manger) Lectio Divina devotional and video resource: Nine months between the angel and the manger [ Find out more ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-nine-months-between-the-angel-and-the-manger) [](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-nine-months-between-the-angel-and-the-manger) [ ![God Unborn: Mary said yes](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![Untitled design 2024 01 29 T111617 974](https://eauk.org/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,quality=90,width=400,fit=cover/https://cdn.eauk.org/Untitled-design-2024-01-29T111617.974.png) ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-mary-said-yes) [#### God Unborn: Mary said yes ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-mary-said-yes) Lectio Divina devotional and video resource: Mary said yes [ Find out more ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-mary-said-yes) [](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-mary-said-yes) [ ![God Unborn – Advent 2024](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![Untitled design 57](https://eauk.org/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,quality=90,width=400,fit=cover/https://cdn.eauk.org/Untitled-design-57.png) ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-advent-2024) [#### God Unborn – Advent 2024 ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-advent-2024) Advent devotional resource [ Find out more ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-advent-2024) [](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-advent-2024) [ ![God Unborn: Joseph said yes](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E) ![Joseph said yes 2200 x 600 px 600 x 337 px](https://eauk.org/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,quality=90,width=400,fit=cover/https://cdn.eauk.org/Untitled-2200-x-600-px-600-x-337-px.png) ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-joseph-said-yes) [#### God Unborn: Joseph said yes ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-joseph-said-yes) Lectio Divina devotional and video resource: Joseph said yes [ Find out more ](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-joseph-said-yes) [](https://www.eauk.org/what-we-do/initiatives/both-lives/god-unborn/god-unborn-joseph-said-yes)
