AS YOU MEET WITH EACH OTHER THIS WEEK, CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS:
This week we began our series on the book of John.
1. John tells us that “The Word became flesh", and he is speaking of the incarnation of God, God Himself coming to earth in the person of Jesus. What is most striking or significant to you about the truth that The Almighty God became a real human?
2. From the beginning to the end, it is clear that John wrote his book so that we would believe in Jesus and that in believing we would have life. This need to "believe" is for both Christians and non-Christians. In what ways do we who already believe forget the truth and need to be renewed in our belief?
3. John tells us that he was a witness to the Glory of God in Jesus who came and was full of both grace and truth. What does it mean to be filled with both grace and truth? Why must these two go hand in hand if we are going to represent his character? What happens when we focus on the truth and forget grace, or vice versa?
