Hidden In Plain Sight is our animation series exploring God’s heart for the nations throughout the Bible. In this episode, we look at the importance of the incarnation.
Why not watch the videos with a small group and let them fuel a conversation about sharing the good news of Jesus with others? Here are some discussion questions to get you started:
Discussion Questions
- What are some of the social, cultural or geographical lines you have drawn which you are unwilling to cross?
- Take a moment to read one of the early church fathers, Athanasius. Why does it matter that our humanity is redeemed by the son of God? (John 1:14)
“What, then, was God to do? What else could He possibly do, being God, but renew His Image in mankind, so that through it men might once more come to know Him? And how could this be done save by the coming of the very Image Himself, our Saviour Jesus Christ? Men could not have done it, for they are only made after the Image; nor could angels have done it, for they are not the images of God. The Word of God came in His own Person, because it was He alone, the Image of the Father Who could recreate man made after the Image.”
Athanasius. “On the Incarnation”. 13. - If Jesus “did not live a life of detachment but a life of involvement”, what are the implications of this on us as his people? (John 20:21; Acts 1:8; Gal 2:19-21; 4:4-7)
- In what ways does incarnational mission challenge the norms of contemporary culture? (Gal 2:19-21; Phil 2:1-11; 2 Tim 1:8-14)
