Thoughts on the Incarnation

We’re getting ready to do a short teaching series on the implications of the Incarnation as it relates to us personally, corporately and socially.  First up, a couple questions about the Incarnation itself (Himself?!):

What does it mean that God became flesh?  Why would our lives change because of this?  Does this affect us differently that those living in the first century?  Should it?

How did the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit relate to each other 1)  Before the Incarnation, 2)  During, and 3)  Now and forever?  Whose idea was this?

How did Jesus grow in His humanity?  Did He grow in His God-ness?

What was His life like before His baptism?  After?

Yep, ouch.  My brain hurts.
