Incarnation: 8 Lessons on How God Meets Us
Each lesson in this Bible study guides you through a passage of Scripture, using the down-to-earth language of The Message, and takes you on a journey of anticipating and celebrating God’s presence as it transforms us and our neighborhoods.
Incarnation is an excellent resource for Advent for personal devotional use or small group discussions.
The Word became flesh and blood,
and moved into the neighborhood.
We saw the glory with our own eyes,
the one-of-a-kind glory,
like Father, like Son,
Generous inside and out,
true from start to finish.
—John 1:14 MSG
