Activity TWO

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, we have seen his glory, the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” - John 1:14 NIV

“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 The Message

When we hand a child a box of crayons, they will draw for hours. When we hand an adult a box of crayons, they will quickly tell us they are not an artist. Where did we lose our wonder, and how can we reclaim it? Using your imagination, draw a picture of John 1:14 as the Lord reveals it to you.
