What if God was one of us
Joan Osborne
Or maybe play the song
If God had a name what would it be?And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory What would you ask if you had just one question?And yeah, yeah, God is great Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see if, seeing meant
That you would have to believe in things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeahWhat if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?Just tryin' to make his way home
Like back up to heaven all alone Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeahWhat if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?Just tryin' to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone Back up to heaven all alone Just tryin' to make his way home Nobody callin' on the phone

Many religions tell us that we have to do a lot of good works in order to get to heaven.
Even a lot of Churches give us the impression that we have to earn our way to God.
But the Bible tells us that we could not earn God’s favor or even try to get to him.
It teaches us that instead of us trying to get to God, the divine became man in order to draw us to himself.
It is such a great story that you can not make it up, only God can do it.
We can’t earn his favor as a matter of fact our sin destroyed any favor with him, but God became man and died for us while we were still sinners.
We can be accepted by the almighty not because of anything we have done but because what he has done on our behalf.
Today we are going to look at the implications of who this God and the implications that it has for our lives.
The ironic thing about this song is that this is true God became one of us, we could not make it up, God became man and was one of us.
1.
The word becoming flesh forces us to make much of Jesus (1:1-5).
Problem our image of God is way to small
Many use Jesus as a little good luck charm, pull him out and he will give us what we want
V 1
In the beginning genesis 1:1
But before this beginning there was God and he was not created
God is eternal
Kids ask where did God come from
Answer he has always been
God is trinity
With God
How do you explain that God is both three and one
He is trinity
“Self-Giving love is the trinity’s signature.”
-Moltman
Illustration
Family unit is to be a reflection of God and to show his love
I could not show love if I never married heather and now with all these kids we can show even more love, Nathaniel when he was young was shooting hoops and I just watched him, I love this kids.
As much as I want to show love to my family it is nothing compared to the love of God
Father loves the son perfectly
Son loves the holy spirit
He is capital letter God
Jehovah witness make Jesus small
A God
No he is the God who appeared to Moses where the bible says there is no name for me I am who I am

There is probably no fully adequate illustration of the Trinity in the natural world.
Perhaps the egg is one of the best.
An egg consists of three parts: shell, yolk, and white.
Each part is fully egg yet each has its own identity that distinguishes it from the other parts.
The human family is another illustration.
Father, mother, and child are all separate entities yet each one is fully a member of its own family.
Each has a different first name, but all bear the same family name.
Jehovah’s Witnesses appeal to this verse to support their doctrine that Jesus was not fully God but the highest created being.
They translate it “the Word was a god.”
Grammatically this is a possible translation since it is legitimate to supply the indefinite article (“a”) when no article is present in the Greek text.
However, that translation here is definitely incorrect because it reduces Jesus to less than God.
Other Scriptures affirm Jesus’ full deity (e.g., vv. 2, 18; Phil.
2:6; Col. 1:17; Heb.
1:3; et al.).
Here the absence of the indefinite article was deliberate.
“As a rule the predicate is without the article, even when the subject uses it [cf.
vv.
6, 12, 13, 18, et al.].”
