Most Christians have a view of God that is too small. And a small view of God produces small worship, small faith, and a small life. So what happens when you put the Incarnation under a microscope?

Jesus, so much man he wept at a friend's grave. So much, God, he called him back from the dead four days later. So much man, he fell asleep in a boat. So much God, he silenced the storm with his voice. That is your God.

And here is the part that changes everything: God became man so that you could become like God. Through new birth, you are not just forgiven. You are family.

Key Scriptures: John 1:1–3, 12 | Psalms 34:3 | Hebrews 1:3 | Hebrews 11:3 | 1 John 3:1–3
