The Incarnation as a Central Theme

The discussion centers on the significance of John 1 as an incarnation text, describing it as a cosmic birth story that introduces Jesus. Verse 14 is highlighted, which states that 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,' inviting preachers to consider what this verse reveals about the incarnation and its implications for congregational witness. The phrase 'we have seen his glory' serves as a reflective prompt for believers to articulate their experiences and responses to the incarnation of Jesus. By exploring the ambiguity of 'we,' the conversation emphasizes a communal and relational understanding of witnessing Jesus' presence in the world.
