Devotional questions for individual/family/group discussion:

1. How do you see Jesus’ divinity revealed in the Gospels? How do you see his humanity revealed?

2. Why do you think so many false teachings have denied either one of these truths?

3. What do we lose if Jesus is not divine? What do we lose if he is not human?
