Socks and Underwear - Part 3 - Payback

God understands.

John 1:1-5,9-14(NIV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God 13 - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Discussion Questions:
In the play, William wrestles with feelings of hatred and revenge over what his business partner did to him. How can knowing God's forgiveness help us to forgive others?
In the play, Grandfather Tom laments not leaving more of a spiritual legacy for his family. What's an example you've seen of someone leaving a positive spiritual legacy?

John 1 teaches us that in Jesus, God became a human. How does knowing this about God affect how you relate to God?
