Christ, the “Name” or Word of God
The Incarnation is the “grammar” of the language of God to humanity.
Andrei Rublev
No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known. John 1:1-18 NRSV
Spirit, God’s Abode
The “ambient” or place where we experience the heart of God
Forgiving ≠ Forgetting
Forgiveness is not:• Approving of what someone else
did• Making excuses for bad behavior• Denying others hurt you
repeatedly • Letting others walk all over you
A Journey to make life easier
