Lesson 1
God Became Man
"In the beginning was the The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth....,For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." John Chapter 1:1&2, 14&17
Read John Chapter One
At first glance this might seem confusing but as you read and take notes you will see that there is a connection between The Word, God, flesh, only Son, Father, grace & truth and Jesus Christ.
It's kind of like those join the dots pictures you drew as a child, or a jigsaw puzzle. The more pieces you have and put together the clearer the picture becomes. It's the same in getting to know God, take your time and be patient with yourself.
Some questions to ask:
1: What words describe Jesus Christ?
2: Find a dictionary and look up the definitions of father, grace & truth and any other words you might not understand.
3: Ask yourself "Do I know anyone with these qualities? What would it be like to meet someone like this? Are these qualities that I admire and respect? Do I want to get to know this person better?"
4: Let the things you have learned today sink in, ask questions, pray & ask God to reveal himself more to you. Set time up for tomorrow to read more.
