"Can somebody tell me what Christmas is all about?!"
As we prepare to celebrate Christmas we consider what the mystery of the incarnation: that the God of the universe became a human. How do we respond to such a glorious reality? And how does that response shape our Christmas celebrations?
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
What is one way you can spend time meditating on the reality of the incarnation this week?
2. What false Gods do you need to let go of as you respond to Christ in worship?
3. How might your Christmas celebrations look different if you were to reflect the incarnation in your relationships with others?
