Pre-Workshop Reflection
"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." - John 1:14
-
The Word could do anything, what does it reveal about him that he would become flesh and dwell among us?
-
What does, "God became man so that man could become God," mean to you?
As you facilitate Workshop 9's discussion, ponder the truth of Christianity being much more than a moral code, but a spiritual transformation of mortal, fallen human beings into bodily yet eternal creatures born into a divine life.
